I'll pop in to visit!
Youth coaches - what are the most common problems?
On the encouragement of @Chad Bryan - I’ve started developing a “Shooting For Complete Beginners” course. I know what I’ve seen, but what are the biggest pain points for our very beginner shooters that you’ve worked with? Give as many details as you need!

Honestly, what has been posted so far has been really good. I've loved the depth and detail of all of these so far. A big pain point for me is slowing them down to do it correctly. Shooting is hard and not being a good shooter is hard. One of my ladies broke down in tears last week because she wasn't shooting well and wasn't seeing the results she wanted (albeit after 2 sessions) and was reverting back to old habits because the new way was hard. You know those big slinky things at the used car lots that blow around in the wind and are connected to the blowers? That's what her shot looks like because at some point in her life she wasn't strong enough to get it there so it became a full body slingshot. With all that being said.. I'd like to see a way to slow it down. Maybe have drills progress or graduate to things (i.e. the next drill isn't available until reaching a certain score on the first one). Perhaps little stars or medals once you complete a drill and maybe a reward when you graduate to the next thing. Or gamifying things within the drill to make them want to go on to the next thing. Off but On-topic... the Homecourt app had the ability to earn tokens and those tokens could be used to buy "digital jerseys" that they could put on their profile. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for but it is an idea :)

So... I wrote this next part without any sound, so sorry if it echoes what you said... It might be a little nit-picky, but I could see getting that wrist loaded earlier would help with the ball positioning. It seems like the ball goes between the legs, then comes out to the right once the wrist gets loaded, but it loads super late in the shot. It would simplify the shot and make it more repeatable. Without seeing the front view it seems as though the shot path might be crooked, so it would straighten out the line. I agree with @Kevin Berry on the footprint piece as well. Since that is what you said and not really an add on, I would add on the idea of dropping the hips and sitting into the shot. Kinda the karate chop to the back of the knees idea. It goes along with simplification and repeatability, plus adds some more power to the shot.
Gave these two feedback this morning
What two adjustments would you make to each of them? I’ll post the feedback I gave them after I hear from a couple of you! Ashton: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a38NzKjDZZyFlxwunnGBwu1Q Brasser: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0234hRi-gOrIa1sL5qPNcSlMw

Ashton: 1. Dip. Looking at it from the side, the lever doesn't really move and just kinda chest pass/shot puts it toward the rim. 2. Smooth out the rhythm. The dip may help with this, but the shot goes from kinda slow to hurry up and get rid of it. Brasser: 1. Get the wrist loaded. The right hand doesn't look like it fully gets under the ball. 2. Ball motion comes back towards the head, a lot, during the shot which is taking momentum out of the ball. The lever collapses a little coming backward.

I was able to look at Ashton, but not Brasser... it looked like it didn't come through? I agree to start with the body though. The things I mentioned just happened to feel like the most glaring. Thank you for the full feedback loop!
Bi-weekly or weekly coaching calls :)
Hello inaugural members, We’re doing it.:) coaching calls starting in March. Two things: 1) I need y’all to comment Bi-Weekly or Weekly for your preference. Vote on the dates below, and I’ll plan it out (and any that we won’t meet) and communicate as soon as I get all flights and travel booked for the Spring/Summer. We’ll watch film on a shooter (I’ll provide at least 24hrs beforehand), and we’ll diagnose and design together. :) You can also submit video to me of any athlete WITH a practice plan beforehand, and we’ll talk through any questions on language/teaching/design/cues. I’ll get this put together this weekend if I can get some answers from yall!
