Voices From the Program
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.

The Process
Mid-Season
In February, Coach Tonagel and the IntentShot team collaborated to design and assign individualized shooting workouts directly through the app — integrating structured player development into the heart of the season.
Daily
Every player logged into IntentShot daily to complete their assigned workouts, building accountability, rhythm, and intent into their training routine.
Game Time
Players and coaches tracked real-time progress within the app, watching logged data translate directly into improved shooting percentages during live competition.
IntentShot is built for programs that take player development seriously. Start tracking, start improving, start winning.
