"A Simple, Proven Basketball Shooting Method Teaches How to Coach Yourself and Others"
BOULDER CREEK, Calif. -- After nine years of additional study and refinement, record-setting shooter Tom Nordland has produced "Swish 2," the second of his best-selling instructional videos and which he hails as his "masterpiece."
"Swish 2" is a two-hour DVD which explains in clear detail how to coach yourself and others in effective shooting technique. The video already is earning rave reviews.
"The initial making of 'Swish' in 1997 represented a translation into video of the simple techniques and shooting drills I developed during a lifetime of shooting and over two decades of coaching," said Nordland, who teaches all levels, from beginners to professionals. "However, coaches and players kept asking me for more."
"It's amazing that the game's most critical aspect is so poorly understood and performed and so ineffectively coached," Nordland added. Estimates indicate more than 40 million Americans and 250 million people worldwide play, coach and love the game of basketball. "Virtually every one of them is looking for what's in the Swish videos," Nordland said. "They want to learn a simple method for making shots consistently, at will, even under great pressure. This may sound impossible, but it's not. You just have to understand and apply a few basic principles to greatly improve your shooting, practically overnight."
In 2000, Nordland was named to the first team on the Minnesota state high-school basketball tournament's "Team of the Century." His record of 19 of 20 free throws under the pressure of a State Championship game is the longest-lasting record in Minnesota state tournament history.
Nordland travels the world to teach shooting technique and train coaches. He has taught countless people, ranging from young girls and boys to older recreational players and college and professional players, both men and women. His website, http://www.swish22.com, is a valuable shooting resource and includes testimonials and a means to order both Swish videos. Nordland, who is available for clinics, coaches' conferences and sports-talk radio shows, also offers a free email Shooting Newsletter called "The Swish Release," read by thousands.
