Diagnose a Player's Shot — Learn Video Shot Analysis

The Real Problem

You Can See It's Off. You Just Can't Name It.

Watching a shot and diagnosing a shot are two different skills. Without the second one, even a great coach is left guessing.

Vague Feedback

You know the shot isn't right, but you can't name the habit causing it — so the advice comes out as "follow through" or "use your legs."

Chasing Symptoms

The elbow, the wrist, the guide hand. It's easy to correct what's most visible instead of what's actually driving the miss.

Video That Can't Answer

Filmed from the wrong angle, too far away, or panning with the ball — most video quietly hides the exact moments that hold the answer.

The Solution

See the Shot the Way an NBA Coach Sees It

Diagnosing is a learnable process, not a gift. This course walks you through the one Coach Love uses: understand the forces that build a shot and the ones that fight it, know the two connections that everything else depends on, film the shot so the answer is actually visible, then read what you captured — including what the flight of the ball tells you after it leaves the hand.

What You'll Learn

The Diagnostic Framework

Five ideas that turn watching a shot into diagnosing one — then it's yours for life.

Part 1

Positive & Negative Power

A full understanding of the forces that build a shot — and the ones quietly working against it. This is the lens everything else is read through.

Part 2

The Two Connections

How the hand connects to the ball, and how the feet connect to the floor. Almost every habit worth fixing traces back to one of these.

Part 3

Filming the Shot

How to take video that actually highlights the important parts of the shot — angles, distance, what to include, and the mistakes that waste a session.

Part 4

Reading the Video

What to look for in the footage you've taken, in what order — so you land on the habit that matters instead of the one that's easiest to spot.

Part 5

The Flight of the Ball

What happens after the release is evidence too. Learn to read the ball's flight and let it confirm — or correct — what you saw in the body.

The Shift

From Guessing to Diagnosing

Before

You can tell it's off, but not why
Feedback stays general and repetitive
You work on whatever is easiest to see
Video that doesn't answer the question you asked it

After

You can name the habit driving the miss
Specific, confident, individualized feedback
You work on the cause instead of the symptom
Video you can go back to and actually learn from

Make Sure It's a Fit

Who This Is For

This is for you if…

NBA-level coaching isn't in your budget yet, but improvement is still the goal
You work with a variety of players who could use help
You're a parent whose kids have fallen in love with basketball
You're a player who is constantly challenging yourself to get better

This is NOT for…

Anyone who wants the shot diagnosed for them (that's Video Shot Analysis)
Players who already know their habit and want a full rebuild (that's Total Shooter Transformation)
Coaches who want the complete evidence-based teaching system (that's the Masterclass)

Proof It Works

What Players and Coaches Say About Coach Dave Love

“

Coach Love helped me build new habits that helped unlock the potential in my game, grow my confidence and make a significant jump as a player. He laid out a process that helped me improve 30% from the free throw line in one season.

Aaron Gordon

NBA Player

“

The desire to improve as coaches and to help our players led us to Coach Love. Without unlimited time working with our players, we needed to become more efficient in helping them with their shooting. There wasn't a question that he doesn't have a practical answer for.

Dusty May

NBA Head Coach

“

Coach Love has a keen ability to simplify the complexities of shooting at various levels into detailed teaching points. His deep analysis of biomechanics, fundamentals and the mental/emotional aspects of shooting continually provide insightful feedback for any stage of the shooting process.

Who's Behind It

The Eye Behind the System

Dave Love is an NBA shooting coach whose science-driven methods are trusted by professional teams, elite programs, and coaches worldwide. He's known for helping players make subtle adjustments that unlock big results — and every one of those adjustments starts with a diagnosis.

This course is that first step, taught directly: how he films a shot, what he looks at, in what order, and how he decides which single habit is worth a player's time. It's the part of the job that happens before any drill gets picked.

Questions

Frequently Asked

How is the course delivered?

Self-paced video lessons on a secure site that works right on your phone. Watch it start to finish, then keep it as a reference you come back to before each analysis.

What equipment do I need?

A phone. The course teaches you how to get everything you need from the camera you already carry — the angles, the distance, and what to capture.

Is this for coaches or for players?

Both. Coaches and trainers use it to diagnose the players they work with; parents use it to help their own kids; players use it to break down their own shot. The skill is the same either way.

How is this different from Video Shot Analysis?

Video Shot Analysis is Coach Love personally diagnosing one shot for you. This course teaches you to do it yourself, for any player, as many times as you want.

How is this different from the Masterclass?

This is the focused, practical skill of breaking down a shot. The Masterclass is the complete, evidence-based system for teaching shooting — biomechanics, skill acquisition, periodization, and more. Many coaches start here.

Do I need a science background?

No. Everything is taught in plain language, built around what you can actually see on video.
