Penny Hardaway Signature Workout Program

Every basketball player who grew up in the 90s, at one point or another, wanted to be just like Penny Hardaway. Penny made it cool and realistic to be a guard — a point guard at that — even when you were one of the taller players on the court. Penny had it all — shooting, athleticism, ball handling, size, post game, and the attitude to dominate every night. The Penny-Shaq combination, for the very brief time it existed, was devastating and the best show in basketball. 

Injuries robbed Penny of his athletic ability and derailed his career much earlier than he should have been gone. Penny never lost his basketball IQ, however — I’ve played with and against the retired Penny and he was always the smartest player on the court, even when he didn't do much running or jumping. He jet saw the game ten steps ahead of everyone else. This Signature Workout Program, however, focuses on the in-his-prime Penny, including:

• Quick Shot Creating Off The Dribble 

• Post Scoring To Exploit Mismatches 

• Attacking The Rim To Finish Strong

• Utilizing Your Handle & Size For Midrange Scoring


*Always Remember: When you get into your games, you won’t need to have memorized anything from this program. The workouts are designed for you to absorb them into your muscle memory -- all of this Hoop Handbook becomes part of your game’s makeup through repetition. You will be using this stuff in ways you won’t ever need to plan again. 

This requires two things from you. 

• That you commit to putting in the work -- as much as you need, which you need to decide -- to make your skills “automatic”, in that you end up doing moves without premeditation. 

• That, when game time comes, you stop thinking so much. The physical work has been done. Get into your Mental Zone -- whatever that is and however you need to get into it -- and let instinct take over
