How can i learn to do the splits quickly?

My mom is my coach and she believed I could be the best!! She started by putting my leg on a chair and pushing me down, yes it took the tears but she didn't care, then in the gym we normally spend an hour on coaching assisted flexibility and there was no rest! Basically I'm telling you to get someone to push you down and to ignore the pain. Tha'ts how I became the best. On another note: If you get up every day do each split for one minute. Every night do each split for one minute. Your splits will gradually get better. (Do 2 sets for one minute twice or three times a day)!
