ESPN has an article on the new NFL Coach for Arizona who just left the college coaching ranks

Kingsbury said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings that he'll implement "cellphone breaks" during team meetings. He did something similar while coaching at Texas Tech but will adapt it for NFL players.
"They're itching to get to those things," he said.

  • Kingsbury will let the players break for their phones every 20 or 30 minutes -- what he called a "good run" -- right around the time he usually starts to see players lose interest.
"You start to see kind of hands twitching and legs shaking, and you know they need to get that social media fix, so we'll let them hop over there and then get back in the meeting and refocus," Kingsbury said.
While coaching the Red Raiders the past six years, Kingsbury saw firsthand just how short young football players' attention spans can be. Kingsbury said the average age in the NFL is 25, not much older than the players he coached in college.


young adults 21-29 making $600 k to millions cannot pay attention at their primary job because of being addicted to social media. Translate to how to adjust as a coach to college students - young women - and how they and their coaches relate. NOTE: no conclusion from me as I cannot comprehend a reality of being addicted to social media for NFL players, women basketball players OR some VolNation boarders.
