Swish Basketball Coaching
What makes Swish Different?
Tom takes the mystery out of shooting a basketball. Players learn quickly how to control the "Flight of a Ball!" Swish breaks down the shot into simple, easily-learned pieces and then shows how to put it back together. It teaches self awareness and self-coaching, and teaches coaches how to guide their players into this powerful and simple approach, the way of the great shooters!
Learn a simple and powerful way to practice or coach shooting! Swish will be hosting a variety of camps and clinics for all ages and ability levels as we find and train coaches to teach them. We have a database now of ~175coaches around the country who have purchased the Swish eBook and are serious about learning how to coach the Swish Way. As they get up to speed and wish to be asked to coach, we'll list and refer them to you by location.

"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, Detroit Pistons, formerly with Indiana Pacers, Golden State Warriors and the Portland Trailblazers
"After 30 years of coaching at the Division I level, I've discovered the finest shooting coach in my basketball career. Tom Nordland's 'Swish' videos simply demonstrate the keys to success for shooting a basketball."
-Stan Morrison, long-time head coach at USC, Univ. of the Pacific, and San Jose State, and member of the 1959 NCAA National Champ
"I've played the game for 40 years and Tom's shooting techniques are amazing to me! My shot improved drastically from just one 20-minute session with him."
-Tony Fuller, former head coach at Pepperdine and San Diego State
"Tom's coaching can be extremely helpful to players at all levels. The technique he teaches can be learned and mastered quickly, with only a few coaching sessions. And once learned, it doesn't take much maintenance."
-Kate Starbird, former WNBA player with the Utah Starzz & Stanford All-American
"Excellent video & workbook on shooting. After reviewing both, I definitely feel they would help anyone who is interested in improving their shooting touch and fundamentals. I feel [Swish] is one of the best shooting videos I have ever seen. CONGRATULATIONS on putting together such an outstanding (useful) video."
-Bill Sharman, Boston Celtic Legend and Special Consultant to the LA Lakers
"Your tape is something every NBA player should have. I would be glad to endorse your film for you as I know it would help NBA or college players to realize the necessary mechanics for successful shooting. What you offer is something sorely needed."
-Pete Newell, Sr. NCAA, NIT, and Olympic Gold Winning Coach
"I hate bandwagons and snake-oil salesman, but I've tried Tom's stuff on my own shot, and I swear, it's like The Truth. Nordland breaks down bad levers and re-builds 'em simpler and more efficient."
-Scott Ostler, Sports Columnist, San Francisco Chronicle
"Coach Nordland was the final secret to perfecting my jump shot. Once I found the groove to catching that energy from the legs, my percentages went up greatly. I can't think Coach Nordland enough for what he did for my game."
-J.R. Angle, one of Indiana's best high school players and a top candidate for "Mr. Basketball" in 2004
