Coaching Can Be Overwhelming

When you don’t have the right tools…

  1. You waste valuable time ‘guessing’ what to do
  2. You experience the constant stress of trying to figure it out alone
  3. You risk losing the confidence of your players and AD

That’s no way to coach and we don’t want that for you…

We’ve helped thousands of coaches streamline their path to success with proven strategies and support. We can do the same for you.

Jenny Boucek

Assistant Coach, Indiana Pacers

“This is a great resource for coaches at all levels of the game. If you want to feel inspired on your coaching journey and improve as a coach, teacher and learner of the game, PGC is for you.”

Lisa Bluder

2x Final Four Coach

“I have enjoyed learning about the Read & React offense and incorporating it into my offensive system. The Read & React teaches players how to play the game instead of making robotic actions that are predetermined. It is a fun offense that allows players to showcase their abilities!”

Ronald Nored

Assistant Coach, Atlanta Hawks

“PGC Coaching is a game-changer. The 5 aspects of becoming a master coach has brought clarity to the way I see myself as a coach, continue to grow as a coach, and how I can help others grow.”

Our new direction

A Note from Rick Torbett, Founder of Better Basketball & Creator of the Read & React Offense

When I started Better Basketball, my mission was simple—give coaches the tools to teach the game better.

Now, we’ve taken the next step by merging with PGC Coaching—and I believe it’s the best thing we’ve ever done for coaches.

PGC Coaching gives you more than just systems and drills. It gives you a community, mentorship, and the kind of support I wish I had when I was in the trenches.

You still get everything from Better Basketball, including the full Read & React system—but now you also get a team behind you.

This isn’t the end of Better Basketball. It’s the beginning of something even better.

Questions & Answers

It sounds like you coach at the same schools we do. 😉  Here’s one thing we know — the most successful coaches (and people) invest in themselves. They understand that growing themselves is the key to all their future success — even when it’s difficult. If it’s any comfort, the majority of our members pay for themselves, so you’ll be in good company.

Another option is to look into our Program Membership and split the cost with a few different coaches! 

We get it, and that’s why we created a monthly option. You can join us for $39.99 and just use the membership for a few months each year when you need it the most. 

We think you’ll find a way to keep it though, as it’s more than worth the $1.33 a day and you’ll get a multiple of that small cost in return guaranteed.

We think you’ll love diving into everything we’ve created for you. But, if you’re not getting use out of it, you can just cancel at any time.

With few exceptions, everything we’ve created is applicable for coaches at all levels. Our members range from youth to professional coaches, and we have courses, videos, and live learning topics that are applicable to each level of coach.
