Kingsbury to give Cardinals cellphone breaks in meetings

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury will bring teaching methods he used at the college level to his new job.

Kingsbury said on Tuesday that he's introducing cellphone breaks into his team meetings.

"They're itching to get to those things," the 39-year-old said, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss.

"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 he'll provide breaks every 20 or 30 minutes, taking into account the short attention spans of his players. He instituted a similar policy during his four-year stint as head coach at Texas Tech.

"I think coming from the college ranks to obviously, those young men, it's got to be quick hitters, 20 minutes at a time, give them a break and get them back in," he said.
