"Bob Fisher's visit to our elementary school was informative, interesting, interactive, and fun! His informal, easy-going approach created a relaxed atmosphere that encouraged audience participation; the kids were straining in their seats to be chosen as volunteers. Bob's friendly competition with our students generated enthusiasm in the crowd, and it was fun to see the entire audience cheering for those on the court. To top it all off, Bob's message for success is one that is simple enough to be remembered, and it is universal - it can be applied to many aspects of our daily lives, not just sports. I thoroughly enjoyed the program."
- - Virginia Powell, Marshall Elementary 6th Grade Teacher
"Bob wowed our kids with his shooting, but his message is the real story. As educators we preach knowledge, effort, and perseverance, but Mr. Fisher demonstrates the power of all three with his real-life example of achievement. As he says, he is just "an average guy who accomplished something extraordinary".....and that resonates with the kids."
- - Tony Helfrich, Eureka Jr./Sr. High Assistant Principal
"You did a great job with the video…a GREAT job! There are not 100 coaches in America that could articulate what is on the video. The video is a slam dunk! It is, in my opinion, the finest shooting instruction I have viewed."
- - Dr. Jim Poteet, Author - "The Paradox of the Free Throw" - Former University & International Basketball Coach
"Coach Fisher does a good job of breaking down the overall shooting technique. You can take the things he teaches and see immediate improvement in your shooting."
- - Bill Self, Head Coach of Basketball at The University of Kansas
"It (Secrets of Shooting) impressed me in a number of ways as the best shooting instructional tool I have encountered in 55 years in this game. I have always been a rebel – seeking my own way to do things. The problem with teaching shooting has always been that it's over-crowded with "experts" hawking their own way as the best way. Now your teaching tool comes into my hands vindicating what I have long held as a "truth" – that there is no one best way. In fact, I have experimented with a variety of finger releases finding fairly equal success with any of them, but being most comfortable with the middle finger placement. Now, of course, I'll go back out and try them all again, because of your DVD. And I have experimented with the variety of starting positions, settling into one that feels most comfortable and less distracting from the harmony of the delivery. Probably the only thing that is pretty much universally agreed upon is that movement of the hand during release will cause the shot to go askew. Something we have all agreed upon in NBSA is that we've been uncertain what to teach, because of so many varied methods. I think you have simplified this in accepting that there is no one best way, but that by showing several methods, each shooter will usually be able to find a method that has a better fit for them than other methods might."
- - Coach Ronn Wyckoff, NBSA Secretary & Founding Member
"The Secrets of Shooting provides a nice overview of the most important elements in basketball shooting, such as hand placement on the ball, starting height of the shooting movement and where a shooter should fixate his or her gaze for a good shot. Especially the relevance of starting height and gaze location are consistent with our scientific findings concerning the visual control of basketball shooting. Our scientific work and the practical work by Coach Fisher complement each other nicely, providing an excellent starting point for coaches and players to improve and refine their shooting skills."
- - Dr. Raôul Oudejans, Research Institute MOVE, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands
"Making shots is what it is all about. Any coach would want more shots being made by his/her players. Coach Bob Fisher with his Secrets of Shooting video has made it easier for everyone to understand. Having used his techniques with my students at school, I have seen improvement in their shooting success. I would highly recommend your players watch this video and learn the proper form Coach Bob uses to coach his players."
- - Randy Walling, Executive Director, Kansas Basketball Coaches Association
"People think shooting is the most fun in basketball. They are close, but making shots is the most fun. If you do what Bob Fisher says to do in his video Secrets of Shooting, you will make more shots, and definitely have more fun."
- - Gary Boren, Free Throw Shooting Coach for the Dallas Mavericks
"As a high school girls coach, this DVD has become a part of our learning process. It’s easy to understand, based on scientific research, and will improve your shot in a very short period of time. We’ve used the DVD with kids from age 10 to 17 and the results have gotten other athletes to ask about it and take it home to watch. I’d strongly recommend this to anyone of any age who wants to make more shots. It almost immediately improved the shooting percentage of some of our better shooters on a successful high school Varsity team."
- - Coach Ryan Noel, Valley Heights Girls Varsity, USD #498
"Everyone trying to market to kids today is quick to make the claim that their products build on individual strengths… but Bob Fisher’s methods truly do. Matching basic hand anatomy to release technique, Bob provides four options to guide kids to the sweet success of a confident toss in the bucket. I wish every kid with an interest in basketball had the opportunity to watch this video, try the techniques, appreciate their physical differences, and find greater shooting success."
- - Kathy Lorkovic, Fat Brain Toys
"Thank you for sending the video. I watched it with great interest. It is clear that anybody can learn a lot of basketball by watching it. It is excellent. I hesitate to mention specifics but the way that you dealt with where the fingers should touch the ball during release was particularly interesting. Again, thank you and good work."
- - Professor John Fontanella, author of "THE PHYSICS OF BASKETBALL"
"Two years ago I saw Coach Fisher’s team put on the most amazing shooting display I’ve ever seen from a high school team. Unfortunately for me, I was watching from the opponent’s bench! My team played a great game that night! We shot 56% from the field, and played tough defense, but they just didn’t miss! All totaled they hit 17 threes that night, including a fourth quarter stretch where they hit 7 in a row to take the lead and win the game. I was in shock. My team was in shock. It was frustrating to play what was maybe our best game of the season and still lose. I didn’t need to see this video to know that Coach Fisher’s methods work, I’ve seen them first hand. Now that I have seen it, you can bet that I’m going to be applying these methods to my future teams!"
- - Coach Nick Fuemmeler, HS PE and coach at USD#487
"This video is great for players of all ages. Coach Fisher does a good job of breaking things down in way that is easy to understand and easy to learn. This video teaches some great techniques that will help players reach their shooting potential."
- - Brett Ballard, Baker University Head Men's Basketball Coach
"While in junior high, I shot so poorly my coach forbid me to shoot anything but a lay-up. Coach Fisher worked with me and explained why I was having difficulty shooting straight. In high school, I was our leading scorer and averaged 17 points per game. Now that I am a high school coach, I utilize the Secrets of Shooting video. It provides excellent modeling of good shooting, and kids learn simply by watching. I know these concepts work because they worked for me."
- - Coach Luke Baxter, Onaga High School Head Boys Basketball Coach
"Coach Bob does a great job of showing players the different methods of shooting. He shows them in a way that can have immediate impact. After my junior high team watched the video I saw players, who previously struggled with shooting the ball straight, shoot the ball straight every time by applying the principles shown in the video. If you want to become a great shooter, this video is a must!"
- - Ben Scism, B & B High School Head Girls Basketball Coach
"…had a look. Very impressive. Congratulations."
- - Dr. Joan N. Vickers, Neuro-Motor Psychology Laboratory, Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Calgary
"I was very impressed with your video. I was captivated by your expertise. I believe this video is a great way to improve anyone’s shooting ability. I was impressed by the information and research that is provided in the video which ensures the validity of how and what makes a good shot. As a physical education teacher, coach, and parent of young basketball players this video will be a great resource to use when teaching young players to shoot."
- - Stacy Coulter, K-6 Physical Education Teacher USD #389
"My son was struggling with his shot, and couldn’t quite figure out what was causing his problem. So he got out Coach Bob’s DVD and watched it, and was able to figure out that he was letting the ball roll off his outside fingers instead of his middle finger. Once he corrected this problem, his shot was greatly improved. He was very grateful that he was able to have Coach Bob’s DVD to watch to help him out. I would recommend this DVD to all basketball players and coaches. It is great."
- - Doug Massey, Parent
"You've taught me well how to recognize when I am shooting the ball wrong and how to correct my shot. It's great to have the Secrets of Shooting DVD to be able to go back and look at what needs to be adjusted with my shot. Thanks Coach Bob!"
- - Tara, High School Basketball Player
"I have seen over a hundred shooting videos and your video is better than all of them. Having a kid do the narration was smart!"
- - Dr. Tom Amberry, former Guinness World Record™ Holder
(2,750 consecutive free throws in a row and 500 in a row over 400 times… all this done with his off-hand)
"I have studied shooting for 50 years. Coach Bob Fisher is the first to teach matching your fingers to the curvature of the ball. It is so simple but the results are amazing… it works!!!"
- - Coach Richard Cotton, Retired High School Coach
"Barbara and I were so pleased to have Bob and Connie Fisher visit us in our home in Jacksonville Florida. They are such a vibrant couple and so knowledgeable about free throw shooting. The time we spent together simply went too fast. Barbara and I wish we could have had many more hours to visit. Bob has proven he knows how to teach free throw shooting to others not only by making an incredible 50 free throws in one minute, but by his ability to get across his philosophy of shooting. I would recommend Bob Fisher as a shooting coach to anyone."
- - Ted St. Martin, Guinness World Record™ Holder
"Bob, was a guest speaker for my physical education classes. The knowledge my students left with was phenomenal. He broke down the art of free throw shooting so that 7th graders understood it. I would encourage ANYONE who coaches K-12 players to listen to Bob. Getting kids off to the correct fundamentals is a must. Thanks again Bob for coming to my class!"
- - John Schmidt, Midddle School PE Teacher & Basketball Coach
