Basketball Shooting: Creating Your Shot Off the Dribble is a great DVD for players and coaches. Players will learn to create their shot of the dribble and coaches will learn to teach players moves and drills for shooting off the dribble.
Coach Wissel teaches players how to pick the ball up off the dribble using key words that trigger correct shooting mechanics. Key words of "Front and Top" are emphasized to promote picking the ball up in front of the shooting knee (preventing floating) with the shooting hand on top of the ball (fostering back spin). Wissel also teaches players how to create space away from the defender when driving to the strong-hand side and weak-hand side.
Drills include: shot fake jump shot, step-back jump shot, step-through leaner, drive middle jump shot, drive middle step-back jump shot, step back and drive, drive middle runner, drive middle reverse down lane hook, drive baseline jump shot, drive baseline step-back jump shot and drive baseline reverse middle hook.

Players will gain a better understanding of their own shot and learn how to become their own best coach. Innovative lead-up drills include: one-hand warm-up, weak-hand warm-up, three finger warm-up, shooting drills without a basket, shooting from a chair, shooting off the catch with a quick release when open, and using a shot fake to create a shot when closely guarded. Learn to improve free throw shooting routine, relaxation, rhythm, concentration and confidence. Shooters are also taught how to Improve their sense of feel by using the eyes open - eyes closed free throw drill. Most importantly, these drills help shooters build their confidence to shoot under pressure, which is what separates a great shooter from a good shooter.
with Jackie Stiles;
2001 WNBA Rookie of the Year;
All-American at Southwest Missouri State University;
3X MVC Player of the Year;
4X MVC All-Conference Selection;
led the nation in scoring (27.8 ppg) her junior year;
All-time leading scorer in Kansas High School Basketball history (boys and girls)
As a high school player, Jackie Stiles committed herself to become a better player and shooter by making 1,000 shots a day from her sophomore year in high school until her freshman year in college. Stiles believes that repetition, with correct technique, will make good shooters great.
Using the BEEF shooting principle, Stiles focuses on a number of teaching techniques including square up, one-two step, power foot, step back hesitation and the "Stiles hop."
The 1,000 shots workout distributes jump shots into seven different spots on the floor. From each spot she makes 100 shots. Between sets of jump shots, she will make 100 free throws.
To give the workout variety, she explains how to use different techniques to break up the total into groups of 15 or 20. From each spot she will use several ways and skills to get the shot off. Players can alter this workout to fit their age, strength, and goals as a shooter.
This is an excellent workout template for any player to use to become a great shooter.

East Longmeadow (MA) High School Head Coach;
Five-Star Basketball Instructor
Attack the rim on offense and deny the post on defense using strong footwork in any area of the post.
Tony Bergeron, Program Director for Five-Star Basketball Camps, delivers a collection of skills and drills to help you develop a dominate post player.
It all starts with strong body movements and footwork in the post, which are a pivotal part of being successful in both offense and defense. Coach Bergeron teaches you specific post moves such as front and reverse pivots, rip throughs, and jump stops; as well as corresponding drills for players to utilize them in the post.
Scoring in the post is an essential skill for a complete post player. If you can't score down low, you can't be successful on offense. Bergeron provides a variety of moves to help your players overcome the defender and get the ball in the hoop. Moves include the jump hook, turnaround jump shot, up and under, drop step, and what to do in a mismatch. These moves will give your post players a better chance to score in the low post, perimeter and at top of the key.
If the opposing player can't get the ball in the post, they can't score in the post. Bergeron concentrates on three methods of post defense: bump, fronting and punch-kick. He pulls all three methods together with his most successful drill that will help post players know where and how to move in order to prevent the ball from entering the post.
Five-Star Basketball has more graduates playing college or pro ball than any other organization in basketball. Past and present basketball greats have benefited from the Five-Star camps including Elton Brand, Patrick Ewing, Moses Malone and many others.
