This week's episode is all about the lower body and how it affects the rest of your shot. Where do I think the "optimal" positions for the lower body are? How wide should feet be? Where should we point our feet? Where should your feet finish at the end of the shot? We'll go into all of that and more!…

(that gets done all the time, at all levels)... (And what you can do instead)... In this episode, Matt and I break down the drill that seems to be done all the time, at all levels, and yet offers next to no true value in development. But we make sure to load the episode with ideas of the ways you can improve that simple drill to actually make it be…

What causes flat shots? Most coaches say "use your legs more..." but that is something I rarely say. Listen as Matt and I break down some of the common flaws that I see causing flat shots... PLUS, a detailed breakdown of today's solar eclipse! Unfortunately my internet failed us before we could get to the use of Differential Learning in working wit…

Are you a coach just entering your off-season? Whether you are a high-school, college, or pro coach you'll get something out of this podcast. Which battles do you fight? What ideas do you need to consider? Coach Dave Love has some tangible ideas to help you build a winning off-season shooting development program.…

I've admired Phil Beckner for a while now. He's best known as Damian Lillard's personal coach, but he does so much more. A couple of months before this episode was created, Phil called me for an opinion on something he was doing, and it took our relationship to another level. I give the analogy that we are both Doctors, but i might be more of speci…

Coleman Ayers of By Any Means Basketball is a force. He's smart, he's researched, he's creative and has a desire to keep learning. I think he's one of the best skills trainers out there right now just because of how well researched he is in how athletes learn and how they move, but also how well he communicates those ideas. This is a great episode …

We are getting technical on this one. The whole episode is how right-handed shooters miss to the left. Now, if you are left-handed, just flip this podcast on its head. All the ideas still apply. This is a good one!

What does my job look like? How did I get to the point where working in the NBA was a reality? What is the difference between training in season or out of season? And most importantly, how do I think teams can take advantage of having a shooting consultant EVEN MORE! This episode is great for any aspiring coach, head coach wanting some ideas to imp…

When I think about creating drills and designing workouts, I follow a simple process. In this episode of the podcast I'll break down for you the three steps that I follow to help players maximize transfer from skill into games.

In 2017 I made my first trip to Australia for a series of clinics. One of the hosts was Anthony "Sepo" Separovich. Sepo was the Head Coach at Shore School in Sydney, and over the course of the next 3+ years, we developed a shooting program for his school that took their shooting to the next level. Hear about how we helped his players AND coaches in…

It's time for Coach Dave Love to "play the hits". Coaches love drills. Now, there is a lot more that goes into shooting development than just drills, but that doesn't mean they aren't important. In this episode I dive into the foundational 3 form shooting drills I use, and how I use them.

Bryce Simon is a former D1 Athlete turned coach and scout that came to me a few weeks before this podcast with some questions. We'd never met before and immediately hit it off. In the first conversation, I thought to myself, these conversations need to be a podcast. So we jumped on to discuss a question Bryce had about guide hand placement, and the…

Do you struggle with sorting through the mess that is Shooting Theory? Not sure what habits to focus on, what matters, and what to prioritize? In shooting, I have 3 Non-Negotiables. 3 things that I believe every shooter should work to do better. These are the basis of everything I teach as a shooting coach.…

One of my favourite things about my job is getting to connect with high level coaches. Nick Sullivan is a graduate assistant at Gonzaga and someone I've been helping for a couple months now. The questions Nick asks are exactly the kind of questions a lot of coaches would love to have the chance to ask, so we made one of the calls a podcast!…

Nelson Terroba has been a Head Coach at various levels including the CEBL and an Assistant Coach in the NBA G-League. He joins Dave and Matt for a conversation about how to use questions to accelerate player's learning.

The words we use in our explanations are critical to getting new skills to transfer to game situations. In this episode, host Matt Robertson and I discuss what Internal and External Cues are, and the process that I use with my NBA Clients to help them discover the cues that get results for them.

In our first episode, host Matt Robertson and I dive into our purpose for the podcast. How we want to share tangible information that basketball coaches, players and front office members can really use to improve their shooting. Then we pivot into a question that I ask multiple times in each workout I do with players - What is the purpose of what w…

Hey, it's NBA Shooting Coach Dave Love, and welcome to "The Coach Dave Love Podcast." Join me and host Matt Robertson as we dissect the intricacies of basketball shooting.
