Testimonials

"Dave Love has shown a tremendous understanding of players' shots as well as an ability to analyze and correct trouble spots. Any player looking to improve his or her shot would benefit greatly from spending time working with Dave." -- Chip Engelland, San Antonio Spurs Assistant Coach

"Dave Love has been a diligent, reliable, tireless worker for our program. His strengths in coaching are not only technical from a shooting perspective, but the fact that he truly cares about the athletes that he works with. Our athletes have nothing but positive comments regarding their workouts, and our staff is excited to have another quality person on board with the Dinos Program." -- Dan Van Hooren, University of Calgary Men's Head Coach

"Coach Love has worked with 3 of my players over the last couple of years on their shooting form and technique, and I have definitely noticed a dramatic improvement in their shooting consistency/accuracy, and an increased confidence to shoot the ball.  In addition to my athletes, he has worked with players at other programs who show similar results- really tangible results.  I recommend Coach Love to any player who is looking to improve their shooting results and become a better player." -- Marc Dobell, 2 Time ACAC Coach of the Year

"Our team has benefited from working with a perfectionist like Dave Love, who understands both the art and science of becoming a great shooter.  He has mastered the art of knowing whether a player's shot needs a major or minor adjustment and he has spent countless hours with our Dinos players, sharing this knowledge.  His methods work and anybody who wants to become a great shooter should be working with Dave Love!" -- Shawnee Harle, University of Calgary Women's Head Coach

"Dave Love has made a study of shooting technique, learned from great shooters, taught many clinics on shooting, and refined his teaching method. We are seeing improvement for our players through diligent work with Coach Love. His balance techniques and his ability to teach a clean delivery of the ball with an accentuated follow through is a very sound practice for young players. Dave Love can help players improve their shooting with his patient, thorough approach." -- Wayne Thomas, U of C Assistant Coach, Calgary High School Coaching Legend

"Dave Love is excellent at giving a clear message of what he wants you to accomplish.  His encouragement and positive attitude make learning his techniques that much easier. I would strongly recommend anyone that would like to develop a consistently great shot seek out the advice of Dave Love" -- Josh Feist, University of Calgary Dinos

"Helping Dave coach many camps, I have witnessed his caring and enthusiastic attitude while working with people of all skill levels.  His coaching has increased my own confidence on the basketball court.  Dave also held a six week shooting clinic for the Jr. Cougars basketball club I coach, and the results were outstanding.  Not only did every player's free throw shooting percentage increase, their confidence to shoot the ball from anywhere on the court increased as well.  I highly recommend Dave's clinics for anyone trying to become a better basketball player." -- Jamie Brown, Red Deer College Kings, Coach MRC Jr. Cougars

"I owe much of my success to the expertise of Dave Love. With his teaching and keen eye for faults I was able to improve not only my shooting ability but my confidence as well.  Every basketball player who wants to make the jump to the “next level” should seek advice from Dave. Having someone of his knowledge locally is very rare and should be taken advantage of." -- Mark Lynch, University of Saskatchewan Huskies

"Dave Love has a hands on, breakdown, one-on-one approach to teaching the more detailed points of shooting the ball which helped me to fine-tune my shot. His drills and practice techniques were very fundamental so I could practice shooting the same way every time I got into a gym. Working with Dave brought me a lot of confidence and made me a better all-around shooter inside and outside the 3-point line that both my teammates and coaches noticed." -- Pam Weatherbee, University of Calgary Dinos

"At first glance, Dave's method seemed very different from anything I had been exposed to in the past.  But Dave adds step by step, focusing on each individual movement your body needs to make in order to create a successful shot.  I liked the teaching technique because I found myself being very aware of my movements and the little bad habits I had created over the years that were actually working against me.  I highly recommend 'The Love of the Game' to anyone looking to improve their shot!" -- Whitney Haswell, University of Calgary Dinos

"Observing Dave, I have been convinced that his is not only a great coach of basketball fundamentals; he is also a very kind and caring individual. Dave has gone out of his way over the past year to meet and work with the Cougars basketball players and every one of them has found the experience to be both positive and beneficial to their game. My player's have only kind words to say about Dave." -- Steve Price, Former MRC Men's Coach

"With Dave Love's shooting techniques I feel more confident in my shot. He brings back the fundamentals in shooting and specifically trains you to have the best technique possible. I would definitely recommend Dave Love to anyone who wants to improve shooting percentage and confidence with their shot." -- Josh Forster, Mount Royal College

"Dave is a excellent coach, a mature and conscientious individual and, a dynamic and enjoyable personality. I think he would be a strong asset to any team or club." -- Colette MacArthur, Coach, Former Community Representative (CMBA)

"I have found Dave Love to be very knowledgeable about basketball. I value his integrity and his thoughtfulness in all dealings I have had with him. I feel Dave Love has given extra care and attention to the players in all the clinics he has done for me. I truly believe he has a genuine "Love of the Game". -- Sherrie McNally, Co-ordinator, Bow River Basketball Association (CMBA)
