In our first episode, host Matt Robertson and I dive into our purpose for the podcast. How we want to share tangible information that basketball coaches, players and front office members can really use to improve their shooting. Then we pivot into a question that I ask multiple times in each workout I do with players - What is the purpose of what we are doing? It's the simple question that I ask at the beginning of a workout, but also within most drills. It's the simple question we need to make sure we have a very clear answer for.
