About this listen

In this episode of The Coach Dave Love Podcast, we dive into the concept of constraints — one of the most powerful tools in modern coaching and skill acquisition.

Dave breaks down:

  • What constraints actually are, and how they’re used in shooting development

  • The different types and intentions behind constraints (e.g., to afford, stabilize, perturb)

  • A list of the most common constraints Dave uses with NBA players and youth athletes alike

Whether you’re new to the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) or looking to refine your application, this episode gives you real-world examples you can use immediately in your practices.
