Very interesting interview I just found on youtube. I love listening to Steph Curry talking about shooting and improvement in general. Some great "nerdy" questions, too. I also like the expression "detailed but free". Let us know your thoughts about the interview... 🏀

Breaking the Cycle: The Coach's Guide to Overcoming Old Habits A Strategic eBook on Technical Correction and Player Autonomy Introduction: The Coach’s Frustration It’s a scenario every coach knows: You explain a technical correction perfectly. The player executes it beautifully in Monday’s practice. But by Wednesday’s game, they’ve reverted to their old, "broken" mechanics. As an elite coach, you must realize that this isn't necessarily a lack of effort from the player. It is often a failure in the coaching mindset or the player’s ability to self-correct. This eBook provides the blueprint for moving past old habits and building a bridge to permanent technical improvement. Chapter 1: Why Players Revert to Old Habits When a player falls back into old patterns, there are usually two primary reasons: 1. Physical Mismatch: The new technique might not fit the player’s physical proportions, current strength levels, or their individual preferred movement patterns. If a change creates physical tension or discomfort, the body will naturally retreat to what is "comfortable". 2. Lack of Self-Correction Skills: The coach hasn't yet "empowered" the player to recognize and fix the error without outside help. Chapter 2: The "Re-entry Time" Metric A key indicator of progress isn't whether a player never makes the mistake, but how fast they can return to the new technique once reminded. - The Observation Period: Start sessions by letting the player shoot while you quietly rebound. Observe their "baseline" state before you say a word. - The "Code Word" Strategy: With long-term players, you shouldn't need a long explanation. A single code word should trigger an immediate mechanical shift. - Measuring Success: If the time it takes for a player to "find" the new technique gets shorter each week, you are winning—even if they still start the session with old habits. Chapter 3: Managing the "Performance Dip" Changing a shot is scary, especially for advanced players with decent percentages. They fear that changing their form will make them worse.

Hey, I'm Peter, and I have initiated this group. I started coaching basketball early (with 17 years). I was fortunate enough to be able to work with players of all age groups. From Minis to male and female pro players. Now, 33 years later, with the experience of having coached hundreds of individuals, I decided to share what I have learnt about basketball shooting in this community. As a young coach, I first had to understand that, without reaching a player, and knowing how to talk to him or her, I had no chance of teaching anything. Later I also realized that not everything works for each player the same way. We're all different. Certainly, many of you had similar experiences. And sometimes, even with all the information on the internet, it's difficult to find the right place to dive deep enough. So I'm also looking forward to discuss, what worked for you as a player, and what works for your players when you're coaching. New ideas, research, anything about the topic is valuable. Let's make this a place for coaches to share, and improve their knowledge. And at the same time we're giving back to our great game, and to the development of new basketball talent. Looking forward to your thoughts. Regards. Peter🏀
