"In the end, it's extra effort that separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more than that, too. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes more desire, determination, discipline and self-sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don't win, how can you lose?"

                            Jesse Owens

 














   

"Thank you to In The Zone for working with my daughters, Sarah and Alison, on the their free throw shooting. Rick was able to quickly identify areas in their shooting form that enabled them to improve their free throw shooting very quickly. As a matter of fact, Sarah advanced to the Texas State Free Throw Shooting Championship by hitting 24 of 25 free throws in the second round of the contest. Sarah was 1 of only 9 contestants in the State to make it that far. We credit Sarah's success to her session with Rick (and a lot of practice using her new and improved form)."

Shooting Lessons

Call for Appointments!

  • $80.00 1-hour Initial Assessment
  • $40.00 per half hour
  • Reservations Required

Begin with a 1-hour assessment lesson using Noah shooting analysis with video feedback. A baseline of the players shot on the Noah system will be established for future progress and continuous tracking.


We will teach the proper shooting form which can be used any where on the court including free throws. The wasted motion in your shot will be removed to reduce your margin of error. Each player will understand how to critique his/her shot. This method of shooting builds confidence and shooting percentages!


Each lesson after the initial assessment will be a 1/2-hr lesson in the shooting cage which will include high repetition shooting with an instructor continuing to perfect your shooting form and technique.


We can take you from a beginner level shooter to intermediate, to advanced level shooter. As training is continued, your progress will be tracked with the Noah system with verbal and video feedback.
