No Hype. Just Results.

Most Shooting Development Only Scratches the Surface

Most players and coaches only ever get to the surface of shooting development. You get a piece of advice on a habit once — but you never see how that habit is supposed to develop over time. You learn a drill — but you never see how it fits into the larger plan.

So you spin your tires doing surface-level work, and never get down to the kind of comprehensive plan I build for my NBA and WNBA clients.

Now you can.

The Toolbox gives you access to the work I do behind the scenes and in the gym — the same process I use to stack the odds in a player's favor:

Diagnosis with ShotMetrics

Pinpoint a player's habits with a level of shot analysis most NBA teams don't even do.

Periodization

Sequence workouts and drills across the season so every rep compounds — and nothing is wasted.

Progress Reports

See exactly what a player is doing and how it's going, so the advice stays personalized and ongoing — like I'm on your staff.

It's like hiring me as your team's — or your child's — shooting coach and your coaching mentor, all at once.

Everything in One Place

Six categories of tools — to learn, analyze, visualize, plan, give feedback, and reflect.

Learn

Understanding why something works is what separates coaches who develop players from coaches who just run drills. The learning tools build that understanding — drawn from Coach Love's education, research, and 15+ years of NBA experience.

Skill acquisition learning module — a lesson on the Challenge Point

Skill Acquisition Concepts

How players actually learn to shoot — variability, challenge point, focus, representativeness — and how to design practice around it. Not opinion. Research.

Your Coaching Lens

A 3-minute self-assessment that reveals whether you coach shooting through an Information Processing, Cognitive, or Ecological lens — and what that means for how you teach.

The Shooting Sandbox

Coach Love's framework for understanding shooting skill — what a functional shot actually looks like, and how a player develops one.

PoST Phase Finder

Identify which phase of development a player should be training in right now, based on their age and level. Stop guessing. Start diagnosing.

Shot Diagnosis

A guided tool that pinpoints where a shot is breaking down — spin, arc, balance, or power — and where to focus next.

Is Your Practice Representative?

Check whether a given drill matches the game a specific player actually plays — and where to adjust the challenge.

Understanding Ball Spin

A short course on reading spin axis data — what it means, when to intervene, and how to use it to improve a player's shot.

PoST Schedule Tutor

A guided walkthrough for building each player's periodization plan — week, month, and full season.

Analyze

When you can measure what's happening in a player's shot, you stop guessing and start knowing. These tools bring the same analytical precision Coach Love uses at the NBA level to any coach with a smartphone.

Shot Analyzer — a player's shot analyzed frame by frame with skeletal tracking and feedback
Spin Axis Calculator — precise spin axis data and release quality from a phone video

Shot Analyzer

Upload video of a player's shot from your phone. Analyze it from any angle — front view, side view, or ball-spin view. Identify the mechanical habits that are helping or hurting, and generate ShotMetrics data that gets stored in the player's profile and tracked over time.

Spin Axis Calculator

There is no other publicly accessible tool in the world that measures the axis of rotation of a basketball. Film a shot on your phone, upload the video, and get precise spin axis data within seconds. Coach Love developed this methodology through years of research at the NBA level. Now any coach can use it.

The data-informed era of shooting development is arriving. The Toolbox teaches you how to use that data now — before it becomes mainstream — from the person who has been doing the research and teaching it at the highest level.
Visualize

The hardest concepts to teach are the ones you can't easily show. These visualizers make abstract shooting concepts visible — so players understand in seconds what used to take seasons to explain.

Attractor Basin Visualizer — skill development potential shown as a 3D landscape
Ball Spin Visualizer — backspin and rotation axis shown in 3D

Entry Angle Visualizer

Shot arc and rim entry angle, interactive.

Ball Spin Visualizer

Backspin and rotation in 3D.

Target Line Visualizer

Aim and target line accuracy.

Attractor Basin Visualizer

Skill development potential landscapes in 3D. Ecological dynamics made visual.

Positive / Negative Power

The mechanical concept behind power generation and loss, illustrated.

Most coaches spend years trying to explain these concepts in words. The Toolbox shows them in seconds.

Plan

Great coaching isn't just knowing what to work on. It's knowing when, in what order, and how to structure the development across a full season. These tools bring that organizational clarity to your program.

Shooting Planner — a player development plan with goals, habits, and cues

Shooting Planner

Add players to your roster, organize the habits each player needs to work on, set your practice schedule, and plan your shooting development sessions — all in one place. The same organizational system Coach Love uses with NBA rosters, scaled to your team.

Evaluation Checklist

Pre-season or pre-draft shot evaluation, switchable by team. Bring the same assessment rigor Coach Love applies at the NBA level to your own program.

Drills Library

Foundational shooting drills organized by PoST phase, with guidance on how to incorporate them into an effectively planned workout. Add your own drills to a private library that only you and your staff can access.

Play / Drill Designer

Diagram plays and drills exactly as you would on a whiteboard or any paid coaching app — with no additional cost and no usage limits.

Feedback

The best coaching is specific, timely, and grounded in understanding. These tools make that kind of feedback accessible to every coach — and every player — regardless of their level.

Virtual Coach Dave Love answering a real coaching question about shot volume
The Centerpiece

Virtual Coach Dave Love

An AI trained on Coach Love's frameworks — skill acquisition, practice design, shooting mechanics, periodization, and habit identification. Ask it anything about shooting development and get answers that reflect how an NBA shooting coach actually thinks. Available any time, on any question, for any level of player. Most coaches will never get a private session with Coach Dave Love. Inside the Toolbox, every member gets exactly that — Coach Love as their mentor, their coach, and their consultant. That's not the next best thing. That's the real thing.

Video Feedback Tool

Record your voice over uploaded shot video. Draw on screen. Export and share with players and parents. This is the same annotation workflow Coach Love uses for his own video shot analysis — a tool that typically costs $300 per year on its own. It's included in the Toolbox at no extra charge.

Reflect

The coaches who develop fastest are the ones who are intentional about their own growth — not just their players'.

Coach's Journal

A daily guided reflection tool for coaches, trainers, and parents. Set goals. Build intentionality. Track your own development as a coach — not just your players'. Stored on-device. Private. Yours.

How Much Does All of This Cost?

Less than most coaches spend on a single training session. Less than most parents spend on one hour of private instruction for their kid.

Coach Dave Love

The Tool Only One Person in the World Could Build

The CDL Coaching Toolbox wasn't designed by a software team guessing what coaches need. It was built by Coach Dave Love — a coach whose opinions come from 15+ years at the NBA level, whose methods are supported by a formal education in skill acquisition science, whose research has been peer-reviewed and published, and who created the only methodology in the world for measuring basketball spin axis.

Every tool in the Toolbox reflects how Coach Love actually works. The frameworks are the ones he uses with NBA players. The visualizers are the ones he uses to teach concepts to professional coaching staffs. The Virtual Coach is trained on his research, his methodology, and his twenty-plus years of developing shooters at every level of the game.

Most coaches will never sit across from Coach Dave Love in a gym. But inside the Toolbox, every member gets exactly that — Coach Love as their mentor, their coach, and their consultant. Available any time. On any question. For any level of player.

That's not the next best thing. That's the real thing.

Start Free. No Card Required.

Fourteen days. Full access. No credit card. Every tool. Every learning resource. Virtual Coach Dave Love answering your questions. The only question is whether you'll still be coaching the same way when the trial ends.
