About this listen

In this episode of The Coach Dave Love Podcast, we challenge one of the most common assumptions in basketball development: that form shooting is a beginner’s tool.

Coach Dave explains:

  • Why traditional form shooting may actually do more harm than good for young players

  • How certain pros can benefit from form shooting—when it's done with the right intent and design

  • What coaches can do instead to teach mechanics without over-restricting exploration

We also answer a listener question about female youth players and the use of lower set points, and how to help players without locking them into habits they’ll need to break later.
