ABOUT ROGER GALO
Galo was a superstar player and a shooting legend, becoming the third-leading scorer in the country and identified as a NBA prospect by Marty Blake and the reigning NBA Champions, the Seattle Supersonics. During his college career, he led his team in scoring, consistently shattering scoring records.
Long after his playing days were over, Galo noticed a troubling trend: shooting performance in college basketball and the NBA was statistically declining, even as every other aspect of the game- athleticism, training, technology- was advancing. What began as curiosity turned into a fifteen-year journey of discovery, experimentation, and breakthrough to understand why shooting hadn’t kept up with the game’s many other innovations. The result: The GALO Method, (Generating Accuracy/ Alignment with Linear Optimization) a revolutionary, science-based approach to shooting that improves accuracy faster and more consistently than the traditional techniques we all grew up on.
He did the research and collaborated with professors from top universities and scientific experts in their field (biomechanics, kinesiology, engineering, anatomy, and physics) to engineer a scientifically superior shooting form that results in a seamless economy of movement. Galo now teaches shooting and enhances the offensive efficiency of players in the NBA and WNBA, all the way down through AAU. His innovative approach to shooting has been featured in Forbes, Sports Illustrated, The Athletic, CBS, and many more.
He was even invited to be a lead shooting instructor at the iconic Five Star Basketball Camp by founder Howard Garfinkle- then, the country’s premier camp for the best players in the country, many of whom went on to become NBA superstars.
THE PURSUIT OF THE PERFECT SHOT. AVAILABLE JUNE 2, 2026.
In The Pursuit of the Perfect Shot, Roger Galo challenges basketball players and coaches to reject the “art of shooting” and embrace the science of shot-making. The result of over a decade and a half of research and testing, The Galo Method is an efficient, standardized approach based on physics, anatomy, and biomechanics.
