Most teams rely on repetition, mechanical tweaks, and traditional drills. But these methods often produce players who shoot well in practice and struggle under pressure.
You’ll learn why this happens and what needs to change for shooting performance to stabilize in competition.
Most coaches focus on how the shot looks rather than what actually determines whether the ball goes in.
You’ll learn the ball flight physics behind entry angle, margin for error, and depth – and how understanding these principles changes how shooting should be trained.
Instead of adding more drills, you’ll learn how to design practice environments that connect perception and action.
When practice reflects the time pressure, defender behavior, and variability of real games, players begin to stabilize their shot and move toward 40%+ from three at volume.

Rather than focusing on isolated mechanics or high-volume repetition, Mitchell applies principles from ecological dynamics, motor learning science, and ball flight physics to build training environments that produce game-transferable shooting performance.
Across legitimate NCAA samples of over 30 players, players Mitchell has worked with have improved by an average of +6.9% in field goal percentage and +5.5% from three, along with +9.6 minutes played and +5.5 points per game.
This is why one of the best shooters in NBA history, Duncan Robinson, spends his off-seasons training with Mitchell.

This training is not for recreational coaches or trainers looking for another list of drills.
It’s also not for coaches who believe shooting is purely mechanical and just needs more repetition. Although, if that’s you - this session could be exactly what you need.
The framework you’ll learn challenges many traditional assumptions about shooting development.
It’s designed for coaches who are open to rethinking how practice environments are structured and who want a system that produces measurable results in games.
If you’re satisfied with average shooting percentages, this probably isn’t for you.
But if you’re serious about building players who perform when the game speeds up, this training will be extremely valuable.
