Swish has simplified the teaching of shooting! He’s broken it down into manageable pieces and then shows you how to put it back together. I recently hosted one of Swish's 7 hour camps and was very impressed. The way Tom has the players observe and discover for themselves the proper way to shoot will help them in many other areas of their lives.

I was personally and professionally inspired by Tom Nordland’s Swish eBook on teaching shooting. Tom’s highly interactive Swish eBook shooting program delivers with structure and impact, and equips coaches with solid techniques/skills that can be applied immediately to increase one’s understanding and awareness on how to teach shooting. This eBook on Shooting is a gold mine.

The Swish system is a natural system for first time students as it works as the body works and therefore is easy to use and remember. My experience is that young players can adapt to it easily and revert to it when under pressure in a game. It is, therefore, an excellent place to start teaching. If you are working with experienced players, it helps them diagnose their shooting and get rid of weaknesses. Again, once they learn this system, they seem to revert to it when they get pressed or tired as it is more natural.

A fantastic job in creating a “How To Teach Shooting Manual” for coaches. It is well  written and contains a ton of practical advice, explanations and exercises for the coaches to work with their players.

Greetings, I wanted to let you know I have had an opportunity to read through the book entirely, most areas more than once, the knowledge gained has been truly rewarding. It has been a very enlightening reading, that thoroughly introduces an innovative and effective method of shooting. With a more intrinsic understanding of the Swish Method, I have improved with the communication and I have seen my own shot improve, and my sons, 10 and 12, are beginning to have a better understanding. As I begin to revisit my personal "How Now?", the awareness and self correction aspects are essential to becoming a consistent shooter. I enjoyed the section on footwork and learning other shots.

Took me over an hour to read all this and see the video's. I feel like I just went through a 4 hour clinic with you! Since I've seen many clinics and done some myself, this all makes a lot of sense to me. It is detailed enough for anyone to pick it up and go with it to teach their group. This is something a lot of coaches needed in the past to put all your teaching to work.

In my opinion, for anyone truly committed to teaching the art/science of shooting a basketball, this e-book is the ultimate single source that brings it all together. The seven distinctions establish a foundation that coaches and players can base all subsequent drills and training upon.   As I assist my daughter in her shooting, we work within the framework of the seven distinctions, BUT it is doing things like "opposites", "self awareness", "asking yourself what happened." These concepts  establish a true learning process, as opposed to the physical act of taking 100 shots per day.  In our 30 second, microwave society, many will say there is too much here, but I feel the opposite. My 5 year old calls his misses "learning shots", he used to get mad and kick the ball and storm inside. He has accepted the outcome of a miss as a way for his body to make the adjustment--no 
emotion, frustration or anger. So, he is now appreciating and enjoying the idea of learning AND becoming a good shooter.

Thanks again for your e-book. It is a great piece of work.
