The Professors have a Point(3) to Prove!

The Guinness World Record for the most basketball three point shots made in one minute is 25. This record was set by Daniel Loriaux at Club Sport Oregon in Tigard, Oregon, USA, on 9 May 2007.Well, September 18th, 2013 at 11 a.m. two of the Professors from OHoops Training will be taking turns and raising the bar.

The Professors are Professional Basketball Trainers out of Orlando, Florida. These guys train the likes of Houston Rocket’s rising superstar Chandler Parsons, two time National Champion Taurean Green (now plays professional basketball in Europe) Nick Calathes, who was just signed by the Memphis Grizzlies and many more pro and college level athletes.

Recently, the OHoops Professors kicked off their Official YouTube campaign, challenging the world to #BeatTheProfessors. Every month they release a new video challenge and accept any and all submissions from ball players worldwide attempting to keep up. The winners will be invited to Orlando, Florida in August 2014 for free training and to compete in a 5 v 5 game, #TheChallengers vs. #TheProfessors. They are out to prove they are the best in the business at what they do. To emphasize this point, they have set their sights on breaking a world record.

Let’s meet the Professors:

Professor G
For the past 8 years, Gerrod Trytten has dedicated his life to enhancing skills and abilities of basketball players all over the state of Florida. Professor G has a true passion for improving player skills and developing mental toughness. He has a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management from the University of Central Florida, specializing in coaching, personal training, and human performance. Currently the Chief Operating Officer for OHoops Training, he still finds time to work on his game on a daily basis and has the mindset that he can never lose. This is the type of confidence that OHoops builds and is the reason that Professor G won’t leave the gym until the world record is broken.

Professor Rickey
Rickey Claitt has been training with OHoops since he was in 6th grade. Currently The Lab Manager and Lead Trainer for OHoops, Professor Rickey has lived the OHoops Lifestyle and is now helping other athletes do the same. He won a State Championship in high school, started two years for Oregon State and played 3 years overseas in Denmark and Germany. This guy is so good that even watching him demonstrate drills to a client is exciting to watch. When Professor Rickey laces up his sneakers, you know it’s time for business, and he never leaves a job unfinished. That world record is in some serious jeopardy.

Oh, and just when you were beginning to feel that the world record had no chance, the Professors have another advantage. Call it unfair, but they will be wearing The World’s Best Basketball Shorts from Point 3! They are the lightest, most comfortable and most innovative pair of basketball shorts ever to be released. Just when the Professors hands start to get sweaty, the special moisture control hip panels conveniently located outside the pocket, will allow them to dry their hands in .3 seconds before hitting their 26th shot to break the world record!

Still have doubts? Follow @OHoopsTraining and @Point3Hoops on Twitter and you will have access to the video as soon as it is released.
