The Science Behind Off-Season Shooting:
This is a summary of David Coyle’s The Talent Code: Chapter 4 - “The Three Rules of Deep Practice”
Coyle discusses the way our brain works when building skills and expertice. If you want a Basketball Brain that allows the quick, reflex-like responses to the game, your brain must have HOURS of FOCUSED, DEEP PRACTICE at a level that ALLOWS FOR FAILURE and OPPORTUNITY FOR FIXING MISTAKES.
GOAL: Every Timberlake Elite player will shoot 8,100 shots between April 15th, 2026 & October 18th 2026 (300 shots / week for 27 weeks)!
It doesn't matter where (driveway, backyard, gym, Rathdrum Fitness, Stoneridge, etc.), as long as they know how many shots made and missed from spots similar to the 5 types listed below.
- Start a "SHOOTING WORKOUT" on your device's SHOT TRACKER.
- Enter the data into the LINKED GOOGLE.FORM by using the button, "Shooting Data Form".
Shot Types Explained:
- Free-Throws
- Free-throw shots.
- In-the-Paint
- Layups and Post-Moves
- Short-Range
- Short-Corner and deeper lane Jump Shots (12-15 feet from the hoop)
- Mid-Range
- Med-Range Jump Shots are 15 to 19 feet from the hoop
- 3-Pointers

SHOT TRACKERS:
The best free one on iPhone/iPad is "HomeCourt App," which has a free shot tracker.
There is an Android app called "SWISH HOOP - Player App," which also has a free shot tracker (This app must have a "Paddle" attachment that costs $89 for it to track shots).
Here is an image to help guide data input for LEVEL UP!! Shot Tracking.
"HomeCourt" must me modified slightly.
You may just count your shots and makes from the spots labled on the "HomeCourt" diagram and input the data with the Google.Form as well.
You DO NOT need an APP to track your shots, it just makes counting them easier.
I will keep hunting for an ANDROID app that will count shots.
Team Shots Versus Goal
As we input shots and makes, this chart will track our efforts for us.
Every shot that is submitted through the form will count to our overall team goal of 300 shots / week / player by next season (October 19th, 2026).
