The 2-Minute Drill

In Football, more touchdowns are scored in the last two minutes than in any other time in the game.

That is because as time is expiring, offenses run the 2-Minute Drill. A fast-paced offensive strategy with one purpose in mind. To Score.

The 2-Minute Drill is a concept that goes beyond football. It is a strategic framework that you can implement into your life today to help you overcome the challenges you are facing.

The 2-Minute Drill helps you score. The more the score the more you win.

Let’s break it down.

Why do teams score more in the last two minutes of the game?

1. They Focus.

If they do not score they lose. In the last two minutes of the game with the game on the line the stakes are high.

They never lose sight of the end goal which is the in-zone.

Everything they are doing is centered around getting the ball across the line.

Laser focused. Dialed in. Undistracted.

Set your goal and keep your eye on it.

2. They Simplify.

When players are running the 2-minute drill they go back to the basics.

They run the plays that they know like the back of their hand. Plays they learned in the first week of training camp.

They free up their mind to focus on perfectly executing the tasks at hand.

When it is time to push you need to simplify. Cut out everything that is hindering you and focus on the main thing.

3. They run more plays.

By running more plays in the last two minutes the offense increases their chances of getting into the in-zone.

With their goal in mind, their process simplified, they take continuous shot down the field until the time expires.

Play after play until they can’t run anymore. That is the 2-Minute Drill.

The 2-Minute Drill can look different in your life. You can run the 2-Minute Drill for a day or for a month. It is all about focusing on the end goal, simplifying the process, and running more plays.

This framework is especially effective if you are prone to procrastination. Run the 2-Minute Drill on the project you are avoiding.
