49ers adapt to millennials, cut time of team meetings down

I’m thinking, ‘My gosh, we sit in two-hour meetings. You are telling me after 27 minutes no one’s getting anything?

With the departure of several esteemed veterans, the 49ers have gotten a lot younger this offseason, and must adapt to teaching those of a newer generation.

The 49ers first turned their attention to team meetings, which can last around two hours, and have chopped them down into 30-minute blocks, each of which is followed by a 10-minute break, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The 49ers coaching staff, led by new head coach Jim Tomsula, consulted with experts on the matter, including Stanford University researchers and advertising executives.
