Rick relates well with kids by taking them as
they are and showing them how to become better without rushing the
teaching process. He spent half the day making sure each student
understood the new technique, which impressed me, because as coaches we
sometimes hit the ground running and leave half the players behind. He
also made sure all had a full understanding of what was being taught
before moving to the next step and extra time was given to those players
with questions. One aspect of the clinic that stood out in my mind was
having the students teach each other. Teaching someone else always leads
to a greater understanding for you.
The One Motion Shooting Technique has given my girls a much better flow
to their shot. In the past, they would set and then shoot, but now they
have one continuous motion, which gives them a quicker release and more
power. We will use One Motion throughout the season as I feel this
technique will increase our shooting percentages. Last year we shot 32%
from the field and 59% from the line. We’ll let you know the results
once the season ends.

I have never seen anybody teach shooting as well as Rick Penny. His
instruction was individualized for each of my players and they benefited
a great deal. He is also the purest shooter I have ever seen. He can
translate this skill to youngsters because his technique is simple and
rock solid.
Rick can teach your kids how to shoot a basketball!

Over the last few years, our son Zach has been to several basketball
camps including Texas Tech and Hardin-Simmons. We truly feel that the
lessons given by Rick Penny
have benefited him the most.

I am extremely happy with the technique you taught my girls and your
FREE FLOW ZONE will benefit them greatly. Using a centralized and
continuous motion helps any shooter lift and launch the ball as opposed
to hitching and slinging it. I feel your message definitely gets back to
the basics of basketball- pure shooting.

Thanks for everything. My girls were very impressed and they continually
try to apply what you taught and that says more than anything. The
techniques you teach are easy to understand and that is what makes your
clinic one of the best I have been around.
Again, I appreciate what you did and how you did it.

I thought the clinic was great! You broke the steps down and pointed out
flaws in each shooter’s stroke. The One Motion Shooting Technique is
quick, natural and it improved the kid’s accuracy in a short period of
time. I also think your technique is easier to remember and do. My
players had a wonderful time and it was money and time well spent.

I saw and, more importantly, my players felt improvement almost
immediately. Concentrating on one motion helps ease muscle memory and
eliminates wasted movement. I am constantly trying to find ways to
improve our shooting and at the same time quicken our release both off
the pass and dribble. I believe that Rick Penny’s One Motion philosophy
is the best combination I have come across.
Because of the limited numbers allowed at the clinic, Rick works
individually with each player and can make adjustments that are very
specific and focused. Also, Rick’s amazing ability to shoot the ball
serves as a tremendous example for my players’ future success, if they
will continue to shoot the ball with One Motion.

Rick Penny’s One Motion Shooting is amazing. My two daughters worked
with Rick and before my eyes their rate of accuracy and consistency
improved immensely. In a matter of minutes, he was able to make minor
adjustments which led to major improvements based on their individual
needs. I have recommended others who have sought Rick’s One Motion
Shooting, and all have reported the same type of results.

I have two children that have taken shooting lessons from Rick Penny.
Although my daughter no longer plays basketball, her shooting improved
tremendously and she enjoyed every session. My son is the one who
benefited the most from the sessions. I felt he was a good shooter until
he began to work with Rick. I saw a big improvement after the first
session. His shooting average improved and he felt more comfortable
shooting the ball during games.
I have told everyone who wants their children to become better shooters
that Rick is truly the best shooting coach in the State of Texas. Not
only is he a good teacher, he is respected and well liked by my
children. I have often told people who talk about sending their kids to
the high dollar basketball camps to save their money and go to Rick for
better results. Rick works with each student individually and they are
not sharing 6-10 instructors with hundreds of other kids. I am a true
Rick Penny fan and I have nothing but positive things to say about him.

Rick Penny was the finest collegiate shooter I ever had the pleasure of
watching. Unfortunately, he was not playing for us. Over the years Rick
has exhibited his ability to teach shooting skills to his players. His
high school teams were always great shooters and very difficult to play
against because of that shooting ability. I have visited with Rick
regarding his teaching techniques and they are simple, easy to learn and
very effective. Any youngster wanting to improve his/her shooting
technique should definitely attend one of Rick’s clinics.

Playing NCAA basketball, I was voted
defensive player of the year for two straight years at Abilene Christian
University. Rick Penny was the only player that I could not stop from
scoring 20+ points a game.
Without a doubt, Rick was not the quickest player on the court, but had
an amazing ability to shoot the basketball. His quick release, rhythm,
and balance were truly amazing to watch.
I did not know what a “pure shooter” was until playing and watching Rick
Penny. His technique and style would be a great advantage to any player
on any level of basketball.

One Motion Shooting is a great clinic. Nowhere else can you get such
individualized instruction for so many hours by a coach the caliber of
Rick Penny. The video breakdown was a huge benefit for the kids so they
could recognize their flaws. It was definitely the best money spent by
my players over the summer.
I know One Motion works because Rick Penny was my high school coach and
it just makes sense. It incorporates trigger words that help train
athletes to focus on good shooting habits. It works for all levels, boys
or girls. Even the so called “great” shooters can learn a quicker
release as well as increase their accuracy.

Your clinic is definitely needed in today’s basketball and our girls
responded very well to the One Motion Technique. One parent told me his
daughter’s shot is now smoother and softer and he would like for you to
work with her once or twice a year. We will continue to encourage the
girls to practice your technique because that is what it takes,
practice, practice, and practice.
