Where Great Shooters Are Made Not Born!

This section on teaching shooting has been written to help players, coaches, and parents to better understand the teaching methods and background of our basketball shooting camp. If you read through this section you will realize what we believe to be the number one component it takes to shoot a basketball well.  In our teaching we show, explain, and drill. Our station and individual one-on-one instruction is special and the very best. Don`t be fooled by any gimmicks, these methods (with a lot of repetition) produce great results.

Coach McGuffin has worked with nearly 10,000 players’ shots. He also has lectured and drilled players for the last 20 years at numerous basketball camps and clinics.  With this experience his shooting drills, techniques, and word usage are the best. His techniques work well with players (boys or girls) of different ages and skill sets.

One of the general teaching rules to follow is always keep your teaching very simple. It is good for the instructor to have a good understanding of all parts of basketball shooting and other offensive fundamentals, but they must be presented in a very simple way. Shooting techniques, drills, and word usage when constructed correctly, will to a high degree automatically put a player into the correct shooting mechanics. To teach over-all shooting well, the instructor must truly understand the breakdown of outside shooting, free throw shooting, and pulling-up and shooting. With this understanding he or she then will be able to construct team and individual drills that will make it simple for players to learn the mechanics of shooting well and easily.

An important rule when teaching basketball shooting is to keep the player balanced while he or she is learning some particular part of shooting. Players will learn easier and faster if balanced while learning basketball fundamentals. To balance a player well and easily, an instructor must thoroughly understand proper footwork, and correct head-body position.

Players who attend the John McGuffin Basketball Shooting Camp leave knowing how important balance is in executing a shot. This is only one component.
