Team: Varsity Boys and Girls
Arkansas City High School, located in Kansas, has a dedicated wrestling program led by Head Girls Coach Anthony Whetstone, who also assists with the boys’ team. As the tech guru, Coach Whetstone manages all the film, uploads, and training for the managers.
Before adopting MatBoss, Coach Whetstone faced significant challenges with uploading and reviewing film:
- Slow Uploads: Uploading to Hudl took a long time.
- Delayed Film Review: Reviewing film had to wait until after the event, delaying technical adjustments.
These challenges impacted the team’s ability to make immediate technical changes during competitions.
Coach Whetstone noticed other coaches using MatBoss and decided to try it because it is designed specifically for wrestling. The platform’s features, particularly for filming and scoring, made it an attractive solution.
The implementation process was straightforward and user-friendly. Key steps in the process included:
- Initial Setup: The setup was easy and efficient.
- Adoption: The team quickly adapted to using MatBoss, integrating it effectively into their routine.
Coach Whetstone emphasized the ease of setup and the immediate benefits of using MatBoss for both coaching and administrative tasks.
Since adopting MatBoss, Arkansas City High School’s wrestling program has seen significant improvements:
- Instant Feedback: The ability to provide immediate feedback to athletes has been invaluable.
- Time Savings: Upload times have been significantly reduced, saving hours.
- Enhanced Performance: Showing athletes their issues or successes immediately has improved their performance.
MatBoss has significantly streamlined the coaching and administrative tasks at Arkansas City High School, making them more efficient and effective. The integration of filming and scoring, along with the ability to provide instant feedback, has provided valuable insights, helping Coach Whetstone and his wrestlers focus on continuous improvement. The ease of use and comprehensive features make MatBoss a valuable tool for any wrestling program.
I would recommend MatBoss because it’s been so easy to use. There has been so much time saved. Being able to show my athletes the issues they are having or something they did well immediately has been great.
