Our Netflix and HBO Go accounts are full of movies that we watch when we have a down night, when practice gets cancelled or you just need a few hours away from the world. We use them to escape, we use them to gain knowledge and a lot of times, use them to just kill an empty 2 hours in your week.

So how about giving up one of your movies in the next few weeks to get better at our craft. As we say here often, we shouldn’t expect our athletes to get better if we won’t do the same.

Let’s take the time of a motion picture and work at growing our coaching mind and resources.

First, let’s tackle just being better at our skills with others: our athletes especially but how about parents and fellow coaches as well:

You have probably seen many if not all of these videos, but in the time it would take to watch Adam Sandler's new release or rewatch "The Hunger Games" we can maybe get a little better at what we are passionate about in just a shade under two hours.

Popcorn is of course, optional.
