Deer Valley High School’s wrestling program, co-led by Assistant Head Coach Zack Cortez, boasts back-to-back section and district championships. The program is dedicated to excellence, both in performance and in providing memorable experiences for the athletes.
Before adopting MatBoss, Coach Cortez faced significant challenges with updating TrackWrestling, maintaining accurate scorebooks, and managing video content:
- Manual Updates: Updating TrackWrestling manually with paper records was time-consuming and error-prone.
- Accurate Record Keeping: Ensuring all managers and coaches had accurate and up-to-date scorebooks was difficult.
- Video Management: Providing athletes with videos for technique review and memories was cumbersome.
These challenges impacted the team’s performance by making it difficult to recall match details and maintain accurate records.
Coach Cortez first heard about MatBoss from a team in southwestern Arizona. The comprehensive features, including scorebook management, video integration, and TrackWrestling integration, made it an appealing solution. Deer Valley High School decided to adopt MatBoss the following year.
The implementation process was straightforward. Key steps in the process included:
- Initial Setup: After filling out the request, Coach Cortez received an email to set everything up.
- Adoption: The team quickly adapted to using MatBoss, integrating it effectively into their routine.
Coach Cortez emphasized the ease of setup and the immediate benefits of using MatBoss for both coaching and administrative tasks.
Since adopting MatBoss, Deer Valley High School’s wrestling program has experienced several significant improvements:
- Accurate Stats: The scorebook and TrackWrestling integration have provided accurate and up-to-date records.
- Enhanced Match Analysis: Athletes are required to watch all their matches, which helps them learn from their performance and identify areas for improvement.
- Time Savings: The streamlined process has saved time on administrative tasks, allowing more time for coaching and strategy development.
MatBoss has significantly streamlined the coaching and administrative tasks at Deer Valley High School, making them more efficient and effective. The integration of the scorebook and TrackWrestling has provided valuable insights, helping Coach Cortez and his wrestlers focus on continuous improvement. The scorebook feature is particularly appreciated, and the platform’s comprehensive capabilities make it an invaluable resource for any wrestling program.
While Coach Cortez suggests the addition of live streaming and Band app integration, he strongly recommends MatBoss to other coaches due to its unparalleled features and benefits.
I would 100% recommend MatBoss to other coaches, there’s nothing else like this on the market. You can record your matches, keep score, upload into Track Wrestling, and share matches. There’s nothing else like this! MatBoss has allowed us to have better conversations as a coaching staff that will better benefit our wrestlers, as well as game plans going into matches or tournaments. The customer service team is the best that I have worked with. This was made for wrestling teams by wrestling coaches. You don’t get much better than that.
