Voices From the Program

What IWU Said About IntentShot

IntentShot gave us something we never had before — real data on who was actually improving and who was just putting in time. It changed how we coached every single day.

Coach Greg Tonagel

Head Coach, Indiana Wesleyan

The shot tracking forced me to be honest about my weaknesses. I could not hide from the numbers, and that accountability made me a better shooter.

Luke Brown

Guard, Indiana Wesleyan

Daily

Consistent Player Engagement

Every player logged into IntentShot daily to complete their assigned workouts, building accountability, rhythm, and intent into their training routine.

Game Time

Measurable On-Court Impact

Players and coaches tracked real-time progress within the app, watching logged data translate directly into improved shooting percentages during live competition.
