Don’t Be Average

The average teenager spends over 7 hours a day on screens, including:

• 3+ hours on TV and videos (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu)

• Almost 2 hours on games

• Almost 2 hours on social media (TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram)
  

Imagine if you took just 1 hour of that daily screen time to practice your sport—whether at home or with a friend. In a year, that adds up to 365 hours of practice, and over four years of high school, it’s 1,500 hours of extra practice.

That kind of consistent effort separates average players from exceptional ones. Small, daily habits compound: improving your skills, speed, endurance, and knowledge a little each day makes a massive difference over time.

By dedicating even a portion of your screen time to your sport, you’ll gain a real advantage over the average teen. Over time, those extra hours can be the difference between being just “average” and surpassing your peers to play more and have more fun.
