[QUOTE="hoopr, post: 1299319, member: 628743"] Posted the previous comment without refreshing the page :tsk: Agreed that there are a ton of resources out there for ball players to explore, but I think players have to first identify their weaknesses before they can figure out which drills to search for. They can either do so by realizing themselves or through their coaches. Even when the players know what drills (say, dribbling) to look for, there are many different difficulty levels of the same, or closely similar, drills. If they aren't able to figure out what's wrong with their game, for lack of playing time or otherwise, players either assume they'll get better by playing more games or rely on their coaches to point out mistakes. Unfortunately, coaches don't have the time to individually develop their players as they have an entire team to care for. They are more likely to identify the wrongs as a group, rather than on an individual basis. In addition to providing drills to the players based on their strengths and weaknesses, we want to offer in-game tips as well. So if we notice a player shoots a lot of 3s but averages on the lower end of the spectrum for made 3s, then we may prompt a conversation with the player on our platform like "hey we notice you shoot a lot of 3s, where are you shooting most of your 3s from?" with the following answers "top of the key," "45 degree," and "corner 3s" and if the player picks the first two answers, we'll say something along the lines of "try to take your 3s in the corner because it is the most efficient location on the court."
