How Corydon Central High School is Enhancing Match Preparation and Review with Integrated Video and Stats

Corydon Central High School’s wrestling program, led by Head Coach Jeffrey Schreck, includes both high school and middle school teams. Dedicated to fostering wrestling talent from a young age, Coach Schreck oversees the development and performance of his athletes across both levels.

Challenges

Before adopting MatBoss, Coach Schreck faced several significant challenges with using HUDL, which was not specifically designed for wrestling:

• Non-Specialized Software: HUDL was functional but not geared towards wrestling, making statistics collection and video downloading cumbersome.
• Data Management: Seamlessly managing and utilizing wrestling-specific data was difficult.

These challenges impacted the team’s performance by making it harder to collect and analyze match data efficiently.

Solution

Coach Schreck first heard about MatBoss through online research. The platform’s tagline, “made by wrestlers for wrestlers,” was a significant selling point that resonated with his needs. He decided to implement MatBoss in the first year of his tenure as the high school coach, after having researched it while coaching the junior high team.

Implementation

The implementation process was relatively easy, though there were some initial hiccups. Key steps in the process included:

• Initial Setup: The biggest challenge was getting the managers to learn the system thoroughly, ensuring accurate roster entry and score reviews before uploading.
• Adoption: Despite early challenges, the team quickly adapted to using MatBoss, integrating it effectively into their routine.

Coach Schreck emphasized the importance of proper training for managers to ensure smooth operation and accuracy.

Results

Since adopting MatBoss, Corydon Central High School’s wrestling program has experienced several significant improvements:

• Accurate Stats: The statistics feature has been particularly beneficial, providing reliable and detailed data.
• Time Savings: The ease of scorekeeping and data collection has saved considerable time, allowing more focus on coaching and performance review.
• Enhanced Review Process: The ability to easily review and study videos and statistics has improved the overall quality of training and feedback.

Conclusion

MatBoss has significantly streamlined the coaching and administrative tasks at Corydon Central High School, making them more efficient and effective. The integration of accurate statistics and video has provided valuable insights, helping Coach Schreck and his wrestlers focus on continuous improvement. The scorekeeping and report functions are particularly appreciated, and the platform’s wrestling-specific design makes it a valuable tool.

While Coach Schreck suggests improvements in video compression quality and report flexibility, he strongly recommends MatBoss to other coaches due to its ease of use and high-quality features.

"I would absolutely recommend MatBoss to other coaches. Easy to use, but high caliber, clearly built with a wrestling mindset. Scorekeeping and data collection are so much easier with MatBoss. It saves us a lot of time and allows us to focus more on coaching."
