A Swish Christmas Challenge - I Dare You!
Yes, I have a Christmas challenge for you. The good news is, it's FREE & Easy!
Here's the challenge. It really is easy.
Part 1: Simply put, I just want you to think. Think back to the middle and high school games you've watched so far this year and ask yourself, "How good has the shooting been?" Seriously, how many girls have you seen in these games that even look comfortable shooting from anywhere but right under the basket? The vast majority of players simply cannot shoot with any consistency. Their shots look rigid, forced and uncomfortable as they fire up air balls and bricks off the backboard. The teams that have any chance at winning do so by getting steals and making layups. Fine for middle school, but that's not gonna get them very far at the varsity level.
Part 2: This one will take a few minutes longer. I want you to watch something radically different than what you've been watching. I want you to watch several young ladies that have worked extensively with Swish Atlanta using the Pro Shot System. Notice the rhythm, fluidity and quickness in their shots. Even involving difficult movement, they keep their techniques intact.

If you've made it this far, you've completed the challenge. The free part is over. Now comes the hard part. If you want this to change, it will neither be free nor easy. If your daughter wants to become a great shooter, the path is one that requires a lot of repetition. On the other hand, it is a path that is known and has been proven to work at every level.
Can Two Weeks Change the Trajectory of Your Child's Basketball Career?
Absolutely! Consider Ella! As a freshman playing on her varsity team and struggling with her shooting, Ella came to six separate shooting events put on by Swish Atlanta over the Christmas/winter break a few years back. And, yes, she did go on to play college basketball. Here is her father Greg talking about what happened next.
"Bill, Had to let you know that she followed up Tuesday's 23 pont performance with a 31 point performance Friday night. She hit 7 three pointers AGAIN! Have to say, I've never seen her in the zone like she was last Tuesday & Friday. I truly believe it is due to you and the time she spent with you during Christmas break. For her to believe she has the ability to do that is huge." - Greg H
