The Newsletter
The Two Minute Drill is the Athlete Builder newsletter. One email a week: two ideas from Jim Beebe, two from that week's guest, and two habits worth stealing. Built for athletes, parents and coaches. 20,000+ newsletter readers. Free, and it takes two minutes to read.
Six things, every week, in the same order. It is built to be skimmed standing in a parking lot between sessions, because that is where most of you will read it. No long intro, no story about my weekend, no video you have to watch first. Six items, two minutes, done. If one of them is useful, steal it. If none of them are, you lost two minutes.
Something I taught an athlete that week, or something I got wrong and then fixed. Written from the gym floor and the coaching calls, not from a whiteboard or a book I just read.
The best two ideas from that week's episodes, pulled out of the tape with the context you need to actually use them. You get the value without spending the hour.
Small, specific, and doable this week. Not a program and not a challenge. One thing an athlete or a coach can start on Monday and still be doing in March.
Athletes who want to get better and are tired of guessing what to work on. Parents who are writing the checks and want to know what actually matters. Coaches and owners who need one more idea for Tuesday. 20,000+ newsletter readers sit on this list and they are all three of those people. It is written so a fifteen-year-old and their mother can read the same email and both get something out of it.
It is not daily. It is not a drip sequence that turns into a pitch on day four. It is not a place where your email address gets sold, rented or handed to anyone. One email, one day a week, with an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every single issue. If it stops being worth two minutes, use that link. I would rather you leave than dread the email.
One email a week. Unsubscribe in one click, from any issue.
Not ready to hand over an email? Fair. Go score your athlete across all six blocks, listen to the episodes behind each issue, or read a recent issue's ideas in full on the blog first.
Once a week. One issue, every week, and nothing else. No daily sends, no surprise blasts, no separate promotional list you get added to without asking. If something rare and genuinely worth knowing comes up, it goes into that week's issue rather than becoming a second email.
One click, at the bottom of every issue. No form, no reason required, and no email asking you to reconsider. Your address is removed and it stays removed. You can also just reply to any issue and ask me directly. I read the replies, and that works the same way.
You already spend more than that scrolling between sets. Give it to something that makes your athlete better.
