How Coal City High School is Saving Time and Improving Accuracy in Stat Management with MatBoss

Coal City High School, a small school in Illinois with 660 students, has a highly successful wrestling program led by Head Coach Mark Masters. The team has won seven dual team trophies, including one title in 2023, over the last ten years

Challenges

Before adopting MatBoss, Coach Masters faced significant challenges with managing stats:

• Manual Data Entry: Time-consuming process of entering stats from scorebooks.
• Error Correction: Difficulty correcting errors made by statisticians.

These challenges impacted Coach Masters’ home life, taking time away from his family.

Solution

Coach Masters learned about MatBoss from another coach at a tournament and decided to try it because of the time-saving benefits.

Implementation

The implementation process had a learning curve for Coach Masters, who is not tech-savvy. However, teaching the system to his statisticians helped him become proficient.

Results

Since adopting MatBoss, Coal City High School’s wrestling program has seen significant improvements:

• Time Savings: Reduced time spent on administrative tasks, providing more personal time.
• Error Correction: Easier to edit and correct stats.

Conclusion

MatBoss has significantly streamlined the administrative tasks at Coal City High School, making them more efficient and freeing up personal time for Coach Masters. The integration with TrackWrestling is particularly appreciated.

"I tell other coaches to get on MatBoss  because of all the hours I saved outside of wrestling from having used the platform. MatBoss makes it very easy to edit and correct and cut down my time entering stats immensely."
