HOW DO WE HELP? WHAT DO WE HAVE TO OFFER?
From the time we pick up a basketball, we start moving a certain way. Some are naturally gifted and move extremely well with and without the basketball. Others, however, move poorly and find themselves at the back of the pack. Players move through the ranks from youth basketball to college, and along the way, many coaches and trainers will set their main focus on sifting through the mix to find the best players rather than teaching, correcting, and developing them. Few players are really taught how to play or move correctly in an intentional and accountable way.
To put it simply: When players understand how to shoot correctly, operate on the floor, and make good decisions, they can get better. Average players can close the talent gap and good players can separate themselves.
Shooting is an art and a science. There are many factors at play (physics, biomechanics, nervous system connections, confidence, rhythm) and we understand and break down all of these so that players and parents do not have to. Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.
The purpose of Shooters HQ is for us to handle that and for players to understand shooting, and basketball in general, in a simple, digestible way that allows them to become skilled, confident players for the rest of their career. At Shooters HQ, we know the game of basketball deeply, and we know how to teach and help you become a better shooter and a better player.
We have found that the best way to streamline this and serve our clients with consistency to facilitate their goals and growth is through our Sharpshooters Academy and Team Program. Through these two elements, we are able to teach the foundations of our curriculum, apply it to game-like situations, then translate that over to real games so that we can help players from start to finish. It is a reasonably close model to how clubs are operated in Europe, where players are invested in at a deep level so they can learn what it takes to increase their basketball IQ, their skills, and become a winner. This way, what we work on will translate to whatever basketball team or program they find themselves in next - at any level.
HOW DID SHOOTERS HQ START?
Anyone Can Be A Great Shooter... With Help
In high school, I was a 50% 3-point shooter & Top 5 in the DFW Metroplex in 3-pointers made. However, I had mechanical flaws that nobody had ever explained to me (or knew enough about to explain). A few years into college, they caught up to me and I shot 20%, a devastating year in which I found myself on the bench for most of the season. Following this, I set out to learn everything I possibly could about shooting and developed a deep understanding of what makes a world-class shooter. I corrected the flaws in my own shot, and my final year of college I was able to lead the nation in Points Per Possession as a D1 walk-on, shooting 57% from 3-point range.
I’m now excited to share the knowledge and understanding I have of shooting and the game of basketball with the next generation of players.
Similar to a golf swing, shooting can feel like an uncontrollable enigma... shooting should make sense to every player. My goal is for each and every player in Shooters HQ to own and understand their shot & become the best shooter they know.
At Shooters HQ, we take a progressive, ground-up approach to learn shooting in a way that you will understand for the rest of your life. Whether in 4th grade or a 4-year professional player, we can help you become a better shooter. Click the banner and come be part of the #HQFamily!
