Hi. My name is Coach Mac.

I'm the founder of Basketball For Coaches and I’ve been passionate about basketball since I was 7 years old.

Throughout this time, I've been fortunate to converse with many great shooting coaches and trainers and have also helped thousands of coaches improve their basketball teams.

It is my mission to share with you all the knowledge I have gained on shooting and how to develop a basketball team full of great shooters.

But before I'm going to tell you how I'll do that...

6 Shooting Truths you MUST know...

Before we jump into the course, I want to go over 6 shooting truths that are super important for you understand​ if you really want to develop a team of great shooters...

Let's go over them quickly and then we'll get back to the program...

Truth #1 - Shooters are NOT born. They ARE developed

Not one single person on Earth was born with the ability to shoot a basketball at a high level.

Not Steph Curry.

Not Klay Thompson.

Not Ray Allen.​

All of these players began their lives with the same shooting ability as you, me, and all your players did…

None.

So, what separates them from the rest of us?​

They became some of the greatest shooters to ever step foot on a basketball court through hours and hours and hours of smart shooting repetitions in the gym.

Any basketball player who wants to become a great shooter one day must be willing to put in years of hard work to develop a great shot.

Truth #2 - Shooting is the most important skill in basketball

Let’s be honest and admit this right from the start…

There is no skill more important than the skill of shooting.

If a team can’t put points on the scoreboard, it’s irrelevant how great they are at rebounding or how fancy their footwork might be.

Coaches need to stop putting off the skill of shooting ‘until they’re older’ and start developing this incredibly important skill from day one.​

Learning how to shoot the basketball properly must start from day one. And it must be taught the correct way.

Truth #3 - Elite shooters make over 1,500 shots a week

With so many distractions surrounding young players (xbox, ps4, etc), players simply aren't getting up enough repetitions to be great shooters.

Are your players?

Here's the simple shooting chart I refer to:

Have you educated your players on how many shots it requires to become a great or an elite shooter?

Truth #4 - Most players don't track their shots

I first started tracking my own shots after reading a great article on shooting coach Dave Hopla (Dave regularly shoots 98+% while shooting).

Dave tracks every single shot he takes.

Yet for some odd reason, today's players and coaches aren't copying his methods and tracking their own shots.

Doesn't it make sense to copy someone that shoots 98% (seriously) from the floor?

To me, it's a no-brainer.

Here are 5 quick reasons why tracking shots will make you a great shooter:

1. You cannot improve what you don't measure.

2. It makes every single shot important.

3. Players can set shooting goals.

4. Players will see improvements.

5. Players will find out their weak areas.

Are you educating your players on the importance of tracking their shots and providing them with shooting workouts that allow them to do so?

Truth #5 - Most players don't have a plan to improve

​There’s nothing more frustrating than when players go to the gym to ‘get up shots’ without a plan.

Contrary to what most players think, just being in the gym won't make anyone a better player.

Players have to be working on the right things. Their weaknesses, the shots they take in games, free throws, shooting technique, etc.

Without a plan, players will end up messing around and wasting time that could have been spent improving their game.

Are you helping your players design individual workouts that will dramatically improve their ability?

Truth #6 - Most players have horrible shooting form (and it's our fault)

That's right... our fault. The coach's fault.

It is the coach's responsibility to ensure that their players are shooting with good technique.

I once wrote an article that detailed the only two steps it takes to become a great shooter.

1. Master the Mechanics

The first step to becoming a great shooter is to master shooting technique.

The coach must assist each player to do this. It's our most important role in assisting players to become great shooters.

2. Lots of Smart Repetitions

The second step is for players to take and make a lot of smart repetitions. By smart repetitions, I mean game shots, from game spots, at game speed.

It's the players responsibility to make sure they make enough shots each week.

Introducing...

"The Shooting Superstars Program"

If you’re a coach who wants to win more games this season and give your players the best opportunity for success in the future…

… then the Shooting Superstars Program is perfect for you.

This program will take your team from players that couldn’t hit an outside shot to save themselves, to a team of knock-down outside shooters!

You’ll never have to ask yourself questions like these again:

• “What shooting drills should I use?”

• “Am I teaching shooting form the correct way?”

• “How do I create a practice plan?”

• “How long should the shooting drills go for?”

What does the Shooting Superstars Program include?

This course includes 8 resources:

Most coaches think that it’s only the shooting experts that can develop a team of high-percentage shooters.

That’s not true.

With the right resources and knowledge, you can do it too. Anyone can!

You have two options…

Option #1: Keep doing what you’re doing (and stay frustrated that your team can’t shoot or win games).

Options #2: Join the Shooting Superstars Program and I’ll give you all the resources that will help win more games by developing great shooters.

Win more games.

Prove that you know how to develop a winning team.

Set your players up for future success.

Are you in?

What are other coaches saying about the Shooting Superstars Program?

David Fields 6th Grade Coach

Coach Mac and his Shooting Superstars program is unique and perhaps, one of a kind. It is vast with 101 shooting drills, downloads on proper shooting technique and things to remember when conducting shooting practices to ensure maximum benefit.

Perhaps, what I like best are the 20 individual shooting programs (divided by position and skill level) and the 18 practice shooting plans (it is so in depth, it includes warm ups etc).

I coach a 6th grade boys team and after being exposed to Coach Mac and some of his drills the transformation was truly amazing.

We ran Titan for 2 minutes and our goal starting out was 12 makes. After 6 weeks our goal was 25 makes and now, our goal is 30 with our high being 38.

What Coach Mac has done it take out the guess work and allowed me to focus squarely on the implementation of the programs he has developed.

And lastly, Coach Mac is responsive and helpful with questions I have had along the way.

You will NOT be sorry for getting this program!

I am a skills training coach for the Filipino Basketball Academy and I am coaching kids ages 5-16 years old of different levels. This summer, I have a few summer basketball camps to keep kids busy.

Your shooting drills work well with me and my camps. I first emphasize on form then work more on accuracy later on. Repetitions make them stronger and faster. Integrating games and variations make the training sessions a little more interesting.

I appreciate what you and your drills have done for me and my students. I plan to continue using these drills in all my camps.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. "I'm only a volunteer coach... I'm not a professional coach or anything... Will this course still work benefit me?"

Absolutely.

There’s no fancy lingo that a coach will struggle to understand, there are many diagrams, and I’ve made sure that each drill is incredibly easy to understand and implement.

I’ve created this course so that even a coach that knows nothing about basketball could go through this program and apply it to a team.

2. "What ages will this course work for?"

This drills and workouts included in this course will benefit players of all ages and can be used by youth basketball teams all the way up to professional teams.

It’s a common misconception that the best teams use a lot of top-secret, fancy drills to improve their players…

They don’t.

They use regular shooting drills (like the drills in the eBook) but raise the number of made shots or the distance.

So all shooting drills can be adapted to a team at any age and skill level.

I include a ‘variation’ section in each drill which will show you exactly how to make the drill easier or harder to suit the team you’re currently coaching!

3. "But won't my players simply develop into better shooters with time?"

Sure they will!

But this program will assist you to dramatically 'speed up' their shooting skill progress.

Think about this…

How much quicker will your players improve if they’re using specially designed individual shooting workouts as opposed to going to the gym and mucking around with friends?

How much quicker will your players improve if you’re using a variety of shooting drills at practice that keep them engaged and having fun as opposed to being bored with the same drills week after week?

How much quicker will your players improve if they start with a good shooting foundation using the 11-point shooting form checklist?

Let me help you fast-track their success!

4. “How quickly will my shooters improve?”

This is not an overnight process and I don’t pretend like it will be.

Becoming a great shooter takes time and a lot of repetitions. Any coach who thinks otherwise doesn’t understand how skills are improved.

How quickly your shooters will improve depend on their current skill level, their age, how often they’re practicing, etc.

So it’s an impossible question to answer…

But I do know this for a fact:

This course will drastically speed up the process by ensuring that players are always working on their shooting efficiently while practicing alone, by starting with a solid shooting foundation, and by making sure the coach is utilizing great shooting drills during practices!
