First big connection week!
After 2 months of waiting I have been able to get into Furman University’s week long basketball camp! The connections I am making right now are endless and I am hoping to one day become a player dev for the university! Any advice on things I could ask, say, or do to make myself more attractive to the staff here? ALL ADVICE HELPS!

The 5 Biggest Keys For Shooters
Over the past 5 weeks, My team and I have worked with 30+ High-Level High School, College, and NBA players. I've been fascinated by each player's individual constraints. It's been such a cool process dissecting each player's shot and helping guide them towards solutions. Through this process, we've identified 5 "non-negotiables" that regardless of variability, differential learning, and adaptability, if these 5 are constant, the basketball has a great chance of going in! 1. Hand placement (Shooting hand in the middle of the basketball) 2. Straight ball path (Up the body from the '1' Position, not swinging right or left) 3. Proper sequencing under the basketball as it stabilizes at the '2' position (body attaches under the ball when the 2 position is formed) 4. Straight Follow Through with pointer finger to the floor 5. Wide and Balanced Landing, shoulders forward on tippy toes What are your thoughts? Am I missing any? Do you know any GREAT shooter without these 5?

"Right" vs "Wrong" Methodologies
I've been interning with Danny for about 4 weeks now. We've discussed plenty on different training methodologies and training styles. Many individuals swear by method "x", "y" or "z", and claim that their training method is the "right" way. This just isn't the case. Danny is a big advocate for playing live and creating SSG's for his athletes, but I've seen him do a lot of on-air training, skill development, and most importantly, shooting mechanic breakdowns. If a player doesn't have a certain skill, like ball handling or shooting, will a SSG, instead of breaking down and teaching, be beneficial for that athlete? I don't think so. It's really important to LEARN on your own and to use YOUR OWN ideas when it comes to training. Be creative and don't stick to one "method".
