“Big-time shooter from deep. Tremendous range and quick release.” — Dave Mathews, Head Coach, Colorado Chaos
The Coach

I spent fifteen years building a jump shot. Now I build yours.

I'm Kyle Wisniewski. I grew up on Colorado courts — Golden youth leagues, club ball across the Front Range, then Lakewood High School, where I set the school record for threes in a single game and earned All-Conference honors twice as a varsity starter.

After high school I spent three years as a practice player for the Western Colorado University women's team, then co-founded my university's first club basketball program and led it as president to the NIRSA championships at CU Boulder. I've been the player being coached, the practice player running the scout, and the one building the program — the shot looks different from each seat, and I coach from all three.

Shooting is the most learnable skill in basketball. It is also the most mistaught — corrected all at once, practiced without measurement, abandoned before it compounds. My job is to give your athlete what I had to assemble the hard way: clean mechanics, an honest measurement of where they are, and a plan that turns daily reps into a permanent shot.

The Method

A jump shot is built like wealth: small deposits, compounded daily.

No gimmicks, no thousand-shot workouts that groove bad habits. Every athlete gets a measured baseline, one mechanical priority at a time, and a between-session program. The reps you take when I'm not there are where the shot is actually made.

01

Assess

We film your shot and break it down frame by frame — feet, base, dip, release, arc. Then we shoot a zone-by-zone baseline so progress is measured, not guessed.

02

Rebuild

One change at a time, in order of leverage. A shot rebuilt all at once collapses under game pressure. A shot rebuilt in layers holds.

03

Measure

Every session is tracked — makes, attempts, zones, game-speed vs. stationary. You and your parents see the actual curve, not a feeling about it.

04

Compound

You leave every session with a specific daily program sized to your schedule. Ten measured minutes a day beats two random hours a week. Every time.

Who this is for: athletes roughly 8–18 who want a real jumper — from first-form fundamentals to range extension and shooting off movement for varsity players. Adults welcome too. The method scales; the standard doesn't.

FAQ

Questions parents ask

What ages do you coach?

Roughly 8 to 18, from first-form fundamentals through varsity-level range and movement shooting. I also work with adults who want to fix a shot they've carried for years. If you're unsure whether it's a fit, book the free intro call — I'll tell you straight.

Where do sessions happen?

Gyms and outdoor courts across the west Denver metro — Lakewood, Golden, Denver, Arvada, and Wheat Ridge. If you have gym access through a school, rec center, or church, we'll use it. If not, I'll help you find a court.

What should my athlete bring?

Basketball shoes, water, and their own ball if they have one. I bring the plan, the drills, and the tracking. Parents are always welcome to stay and watch.

How fast will we see results?

Everyone is different — and that's not a dodge, it's the method. The best shots aren't installed from the outside; they're developed and enhanced through feel — your athlete's own sense of the ball. So the timeline depends on the person. Here's what doesn't vary: put in consistent work, and never extend range beyond the distance where good form holds, and you will see incredible results very quickly. That's the discipline most shooters skip — they chase distance before feel, and the form breaks. We build the other way: form first, feel always, range as it's earned. And because every session is measured, you won't have to take my word for it — you'll watch the curve yourself.

Why a shooting specialist instead of a general skills trainer?

Because shooting is a precision skill with its own mechanics, and it's the highest-leverage skill in the modern game. General trainers split an hour across ball-handling, finishing, and conditioning. We spend the whole hour on the thing that decides whether a player is on the floor in the fourth quarter.

What's your cancellation policy?

Life happens — just give me 24 hours' notice and we'll reschedule, no charge. No-shows and same-day cancellations are charged the session rate.

Every great shot begins with a decision. Make yours today.
