Friendly workplace discussions about sports occasionally lead to intense debates, which can then escalate into disruptive verbal conflicts. High-profile events like the Super Bowl, March Madness and the World Cup for example, have a tendency to disrupt the workplace even more. There’s nothing wrong with rooting for your favorites as long as “Go (insert preferred team)!” doesn’t spiral into distractions.
How inspired do fans get? February’s San Francisco-Kansas City match-up was the most legally bet on Super Bowl in history with more than 24 million people wagering $6.8 billion, according to CNBC. And that’s just the legal bets! It seems whenever money is on the line, fans become a tad more passionate.

Instead of hiring a professional trainer, you provide individual or group training through engaging videos and complementary audio that encourages desirable behaviors. It’s easy to set up, administer and track — a slam dunk!
