The Better Basketball® DVDs are widely regarded as the finest instructional videos in basketball. The DVDs are very easy to understand, yet full of extremely detailed techniques. Each video starts by clearly teaching the most basic basketball fundamentals for kids or their parents, then progresses to highly advanced concepts that will vault a serious player to the next level.

Our staff spends a grueling 8-12 months to produce each Better Basketball DVD because we love the game, and want to achieve perfection with our basketball videos. The result is that when accomplished basketball coaching minds watch the Better Basketball video series, they’re blown away by the incredible amount of content, and the innovative yet logical teaching points.

And yet, when parents and kids who are just beginning to learn the game watch the Better Basketball DVDs, they're relieved at how simple the basketball instruction is explained. And they’re thrilled to discover the ultimate foundation of basketball fundamentals.

The bottom line is if you learn and apply the basketball drills and techniques on the Better Basketball training videos, your hard work will result in you improving your skills, developing a higher basketball IQ, and becoming a better basketball player!

The Better Basketball videos can be divided into 2 groups:

1st: The seven DVDs for player development . Each DVD breaks down 1 of the game’s 7 primary skills, teaching every aspect of how you should improve that particular skill.

2nd: The Read and React™ Set . A complete offense for coaches at any level, this revolutionary system doesn’t teach plays, it teaches players how to play. It can be used against man or zone defense, and can be customized to a coach’s philosophy or the strength of a team’s personnel.

While you're on betterbasketball.com, watch the previews and read the descriptions of both the Read and React Offense and each of the player improvement videos. You’ll develop a firm understanding of what’s on each video, and you’ll get a feel for how the Better Basketball DVDs will help you improve and reach your goals.

When Better Basketball was formed, we searched for the best person to help us achieve our goal. That goal was to produce the best possible basketball videos to help players and coaches improve. We searched for a coach who understood and could teach both youth basketball, and basketball at the pro level. We sought someone who truly loved the game and could train basketball players in an entertaining and learnable fashion.

Our search ended when we found Rick Torbett in 1997. During his stellar playing career and then 25 years in coaching, Coach Torbett studied basketball at all levels, breaking down the sport with some of the game’s brightest minds. He was the perfect choice to help Better Basketball make the best possible basketball instructional videos. A decade later, the result is the Better Basketball video collection.

In addition to Coach Torbett, some of the finest current and former NBA and WNBA players, along with some of the most accomplished basketball coaching minds, have joined us. However, asking these stars to teach the entire spectrum of basketball instruction on our videos, at the level Better Basketball demands, would take thousands of hours. That’s what Coach Torbett and his staff work year-round to accomplish. So we ask these pros and basketball coaching gurus to talk only about their expertise - those basketball training tips that have helped them to rise to the top. We then add the pro or coach to a Better Basketball DVD via a bonus section, where you can learn the secrets to their success, directly from them.

The Better Basketball video series will help players at any skill level because each video starts with very basic basketball instruction. This ensures that if you train with these videos, you will develop the perfect foundation of skills. But once the core skills are taught, each Better Basketball DVD builds to the highest level of detail, peaking with techniques so advanced that the videos are studied in elite basketball coaching circles, and by professional players from around the world.

So whether you're at the youth basketball level, a professional player, or somewhere between; whether you're a coach in the pros or just a parent coaching basketball for your child; the techniques on the Better Basketball videos will accelerate your development and produce real improvement.

You have to supply the heart and the sweat, those are things that must come from you. The Better Basketball Video Series will supply the best possible techniques and basketball training methods for you to improve. The result? You will become a Better Basketball player!
