Basketball is a highly competitive sport that requires a great deal of skill, dedication, and practice to master.
One key aspect of becoming a successful basketball player is setting goals for yourself. If you've ever asked yourself any of the following questions, keep scrolling for our answer.

How can I track my basketball goals?
After chatting with 100's of users, we discovered many creative ways players set and track their basketball training goals. Some users set long-term goals, like wanting to shoot 100,000 shots this year. Others keep them more short term, such as, I want to shoot 300 shots a day or 1,000 a week.
Experienced basketball players and coaches know the importance of setting realistic goals, and keeping a close eye on them. But what's the best way to do that? We realized quickly that there was a gap in the basketball space of a tool that helps players stay on top of these goals - short, mid or long-term. Insert: Goal Setting.
With our latest feature within the Dr. Dish Player App [Goal Setting], players who use Dr. Dish shooting machines can set a variety of different goals and not only easily see their progress towards reaching them, but receive notifications and reminders to encourage them to keep making strides.
Getting a goal setup and tracked in the Dr. Dish Player App can be done in a few easy steps!
Check out the full breakdown below and you'll be making progress towards your goals in minutes.
1. Login to the Dr. Dish player app
The first thing users will need to do is login or create a profile on the Dr. Dish Player App.
Pictured above is the home screen where you'll navigate to the "set a goal" tab in orange.
2. Set your goal
Once users have selected set a goal from the home screen they can set their a goal based on makes, takes, or time on a weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom timeframe.
Users are also able to get notifications for each individual goal. Simply select the dates and time for push notification to receive updates and reminders on your progress.

Player app users can set unlimited goals, tracking their short and long-term progress. Each individual goal monitors progress with heat maps, shooting percentages, and date ranges. This is a great way for players to hold themselves accountable!
