180Shooter.com introduces the t-shirt incentive program to motivate shooters. The 180 Shooter Training Program moves through five phases; each level has a corresponding colored t-shirt, much like a martial arts belt - for example, the grey t-shirt corresponds to Phase 1. When a player graduates from one level (Phase 1), he earns the right to wear the level's t-shirt (grey). Coaches, parents and players can use the t-shirts to reward players for their practice and progress.
The white "Be a Shot Maker, not a Shot Taker" t-shirt is available for anyone to purchase and wear. However, the other five colors correspond to the five phases in the book and program. However, coaches can use the t-shirts to fit their own shooting program provided they honor the program's spirit.
Greatness is special and should be rewarded. These shirts are a small prize for coaches, players or parents to use as an incentive for those players who make the effort to be great.
Once you purchase your shirt, take a picture, upload to Flickr and tag it as 180 Shooter to see it on the front page.

To earn the black "Certified Shot Maker" t-shirt, a player must shoot 180% during a high school or college season (regular season and play-offs, no spring, summer or fall leagues). To be eligible, the player's coach must register with the 180 Shooter Training Program and use the Shot Tracker program throughout the season. Coaches are on the honor system, as the Shot Tracker program is first and foremost an educational tool. Any registered player who finishes the season over 180% will receive a FREE "Certified Shot Maker" t-shirt (a minimum number of shots applies).
