You're not alone! Shooting is a lost art! Shooting percentages have been declining for over 20 years! Players at all levels miss free throws and open jumpers to lose games! Major NBA stars are embarrassed at the free throw line! In the last World Championships the USA team could only manage 6th place! In last year's Olympics, our shooting-challenged team could only win the Bronze medal, beaten three times. International players and teams can shoot better from outside and from the Line. Something's not working. Players don't know what to practice. Coaches often don't know how to coach shooting. Coaching just the "Fundamentals" (how to stand, how to hold the ball, where the elbow should point, etc.) isn't enough! What is the answer? The "Swish" method!
SWISH reveals a complete and uncomplicated method for learning to be a consistently great shooter. With this method for achieving repeatability, you can coach yourself or others to dramatically improve shooting with jump shots and free throws, 3's, set shots, shots off the dribble, and other creative shots.

Quotes from NBA Players:
"The proof is in the pudding - look at the stats! I've made a major improvement and expect to improve more by continued working with Tom. His technique is different from most shooting coaches. He does a combination of form (technique) and the art/science of repeatability. It really works!"
- Dale Davis, NBA power forward, Portland Trailblazers (formerly with the Indiana Pacers)
(Note: Dale improved over 47% from the Free Throw line in two seasons, from 46.5% in '97-98 to 61.8% in '98-99 to 68.5% in '99-00. His jump shot improved at the same time, and he was named to the NBA All Star Team last season for the first time in his 9 years in the league! He got that recognition for averaging a double-double with 11.4 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, the highest overall performance of his career and shooting 72% from the Line at the time).
"I am thrilled with what Tom Nordland has done with me. His coaching method is amazingly simple, easy to apply, and the results are easy to see. Anybody can improve their shooting with his approach."
- Adam Keefe, Stanford All American and former Golden State Warriors power forward
"Working with Tom Nordland has improved my Jump Shot and Free Throws more than I could ever have imagined. He is a phenomenal shooting coach!"
- Mark Madsen, Stanford All American, 1st round pick of the L.A. Lakers in the 2000 NBA Draft, now with the Minnesota Timberwolves
Instruction by Tom Norland :
Tom was a high school star in Minnesota in the mid-50's, one of those Midwestern kids who spent every free moment shooting baskets in his backyard and playing at local parks. With all that shooting, he figured out how to put a basketball into a basket consistently, even under great pressure. His high school team, Roosevelt High in Minneapolis, won two straight State Championships in those years, and when he was a senior, the offense was built around his shooting from the outside. The team went 28-0 that year and Tom averaged 27 pts a game. A highlight was Tom making 19 of 20 free throws in the Championship game, a basketball record that still stands 48 years later. After high school he attended Stanford University on a basketball scholarship and played recreational ball in Minneapolis for 15 more years until he had to retire due to knee strain in the mid-70's."
"In 1989 at age 50, he was working at a computer company in California, and during lunch one day, decided to shoot baskets for the first time in many years. He had not played or even touched a basketball in six years. After about 5-10 minutes of warmup, Tom started to swish everything from everywhere within his range! A light bulb came on and he asked himself how it was possible that, 32 years after high school and after years of not playing or even shooting, he could re-capture such great shooting touch. The answers then started to come to him and developed as he practiced and researched shooting. He started volunteering to coach at local high schools, and even started to write a book, which later became the "Swish" video seven years later in early 1997.
"Since that remarkable discovery in 1989, Tom Norland perfected his understandings of basketball shooting and this approach AND how it can be taught. He has since coached basketball shooting at the jr. high school (middle school), high school, college and professional levels. The SWISH Method is so simple, anyone can learn it and start to shoot more effectively. Mastery is possible to those who are really committed and apply themselves. The progress and accuracy you will achieve with the techniques of this DVD are simply AMAZING!
