Please enjoy another great basketball workout plan brought to by Tom Nordland of "Swish". Tom is one of the best shooting coaches I have ever come across. I have included my testimonial to Tom after simply reading his
free information on his website.
Here is my testimonial:
" Hi Tom. I just wanted to write to tell you how impressed I am with your teaching of shooting. I have played basketball for over 30 years up to the University level. I have coached at all levels and have never been exposed to such a simple yet effective method of shooting instruction.
To test it out I took to the courts. My shooting improved dramatically. I was a great shooter in High School but in University I became a "defensive specialist" and lost my shooting confidence as well as my technique. I have struggled for years to get it back, mostly by fiddling around trying to alter something here or there.
Over 2 sessions using "awareness" and a few minor changes you suggest I would almost declare it a miracle. As you say, swish after swish. It was amazing to get that "feeling" back. I can't wait to play pick up to see how I do in a game situation. This will forever alter how I teach shooting and I haven't even seen your video yet (which I did purchase).
The other great thing was that I taught the technique to 2 young kids who were shooting at the same courts as me. Their improvement was both sudden and also dramatic in a very short time. I found it hard to be "neutral" though but I did my best. As you can tell I am amazed. What a paradigm shift in teaching shooting!
If I could set it up would you be interested in coming to Vancouver (Canada) to do a shooting clinic. I'm sure we could get a huge turnout. Please let me know your schedule and if you would be interested. I would love to learn your methods in person and learn a new basketball workout plan.
Thanks Tom for your time.
Take care,
Todd."

Basketball Background of Tom Nordland
September 2005
Tom grew up in Minnesota playing many sports and has been involved in athletics all his life. He became a high school basketball star and is considered one the best shooters ever to come out of that state. In 1957 he led Minneapolis Roosevelt to its second straight Minnesota State High School Championship and was named All State and a scholastic All-American. He set a free throw record in the State Tournament championship game (19 of 20 in one game) that still stands 48 years later. He attended Stanford University on a basketball scholarship.
Fifteen years ago, at the age of 50, he re-discovered what he learned as a teenager that made him such a great "pure" shooter? Simple and powerful stuff anyone can learn. Since those discoveries, Tom has researched shooting and perfected his coaching of the skill. In early1997 he produced a 51 minute video on shooting called "Swish ? A Guide to Great Basketball Shooting," now available in DVD format with an extra six minutes of shooting clips added. The DVD and video are getting raves and complimentary testimony from more and more players and coaches around the world.
He’s working now on a sequel to Swish to be called Swish II. It will take the method to a deeper level and teach people further how to learn and coach shooting with this powerful approach. A Coach for all levels, Tom has worked with all levels, from grade school and middle school to high school and college levels, as well as with NBA players. Tom has found that everyone needs the same basic instruction. And, what he teaches is not new. It’s how the greatest shooters have always shot.
Articles about Tom’s coaching have appeared in the Indianapolis Star/News, The Christian Science Monitor, The Salt Lake Tribune, The Oakland Tribune and The San Francisco Chronicle. He’s been interviewed on ESPN Radio and other sports radio talk shows. His Method Reveals the"Secrets" of Great Shooting. Tom’s Swish Method reveals how to learn and coach great shooting.
Though fundamentals are important and are addressed, the emphasis is on the "Flight of the Ball." The player is taught how to control body movement and power such that ball flight is Accurate, Consistent and Repeatable! Great shooters’ shots are always around the rim. They rarely have a bad day. Tom’s method shows how to achieve this kind of control with an effortless, high arching and repeat-able shot motion. This is the answer to today’s need in the game of basketball for a method that really works and doesn’t take thousands of hours to learn.
and his method, including remarkable endorsements and testimonials, video clips, articles and background information, and his free monthly Shooting Newsletter subscribed to by 4,000 people worldwide with 76 issuesarchived there.
Shooting Clinics
Tom puts on shooting clinics across the country, "Empowering players to practice," as he puts it. He teaches players of all levels that great shooting is not that difficult and that anyone can learn the skill to a fairly high level of proficiency, and mastery is available to those whoapply themselves to the simple method. The key is in the "practice," and Tom shows people how to do that -- what to practice and how to do it.... how to coach themselves, and develop a basketball workout plan, the only way it’s really going to work.
