“There's nothing better than Better Basketball. They give you detailed information. The guys that are in charge of it have played ball, have coached basketball. Even I've learned some things working with Better Basketball, it's just unbelievable."

Featured in BETTER OFFENSE
"As an NBA Coach many players at our level are looking for ways to improve their shooting. Shooting a basketball has become a lost art at all levels of basketball today. You can never have enough shooters on the floor. Coach Torbett has a shooting philosophy and breaks it down to the simplest details.
I have picked up several of Coach Torbett's techniques that I will use in the future for years to come."

"I had heard people talk about the Better Basketball videos, but I didn't understand all the hype until I watched them. I was amazed when I finally saw the videos and realized how detailed and sophisticated they are. It's just incredible how much Coach Torbett knows about the game, and how well he explains some very advanced techniques. These videos truly are the real thing, they're the best collection of techniques for improvement I've ever seen."

More Testimonials

"Coach Rick Torbett is a MASTER TEACHER of the fundamentals of shooting. He teaches the basics of shooting from the hardwood up! Better Shooting will benefit everyone from the "biddy leaguer to the big-leaguer."
After 35 years of coaching, Rick Torbett's Better Shooting game me some nuggets that will help even me be a better shooting instructor."

Jim Davis
2 Time ACC Coach of the Year;
Women's Basketball Coach, Clemson University;
All Time Winningest Coach at Clemson University;

"I have an extensive library of basketball instructional and motivational videos for players to check out. Coach Torbett's Better Shooting is my #1 recommendation to players that have a serious desire to improve their shooting skills down to the finest detail.
In 2002 I observed ten basketball camps. These camps were anywhere from eight hours to forty hours each. All the shooting instruction combined in those ten camps didn't come close to the professional and detailed information provided in Better Shooting."

Joe Coelho
President, Royal Basketball Academy

"Coach Torbett's techniques of teaching the right way to shoot have helped me in my college career. I'm shooting over 55% from the field and 40% from the 3-point line. Better Shooting covers a full detail of the most effective way to shoot a basketball."

Doug Davis
College Basketball Player;
2nd team ALL GSAC in 2001

"The techniques taught to me by Coach Torbett turned me into a better basketball player. His techniques created my shot. They are not difficult to learn and they are still the most pinpoint and precise shooting instructions I have ever received, and this includes my playing days in the ACC. Coach Torbett expanded my basketball game which helped me earn a scholarship to an ACC school, one of the top college basketball conferences in the country, and the title of a 'pure shooter.'
   Coach Torbett is a great coach and teacher because he can relate to what is going on with a player because he was once a player. He is great at not only teaching you how to shoot, but great at teaching you how to correct yourself when your shot is off. He turned me into a 'shot doctor,' able to correct my own shot. This video puts everything in simple terms and breaks down the entire shooting process.
   Better Shooting has the ability to expand the game of any player out there. It helped turn me into the player I am today. Shooting is a lost art in the sport, Coach Torbett's techniques recreated that art."

Emanuel Mathis
NCAA Division 1 College Basketball Star;
Shot 53% from the 3-pt line while playing for Coach Torbett

I've coached roller and ice hockey for 10 years.  I had been an assistant coach for my daughter's co-ed 6 and 7 year old basketball team for two years.  My only other experience with basketball was as a youth player from 5th grade through tenth.
 
I'm now the head coach of a 7 and 8 year old girls only team.  With the guidance of your Better Basketball videos, I have proven to be a better prepared coach than the majority of other coaches at all other age divisions (boys and/or girls) combined.  My players are better equipped with the necessary fundamentals than most others in this league.  We are having a very fun year.
 
I've reccomended the Better Basketball DVD series to many of my players' parents, and also to other coaches, relatives, and friends.  Any coach armed with this material can dynamically change the game at any level. 
 
Rick Torbett introduces a more user friendly teaching approach than any series of literature and/or videos that I have researched in the sports of hockey or basketball.  With enough practice, these drills are easily duplicated.  My daughter, at the age of 8, often watches these DVDs with me; I later witness her attempting many of these drills without prompting.  I truly wish I had similar information and teaching techniques, reguarding hockey.
 
Thank you for being wise enough to advertise information as valuable as this on your website.  Any coach, at any level, should have a copy of the entire series.  Not all drills will be immediately applicable at the younger age divisions; however, the more advanced drills are built upon the backbone created by the relatively basic drills found on each DVD. 
 
Introducing players at younger age divisions to these techniques, methods, and philosophies of playing this wonderful game will ensure them of a significant increase in playing time as they advance in age.  Any player practicing this system will make incredible strides toward becoming a game changing 'play maker'.
