How Silver Lake High School Achievied Accurate Stats and Time Efficiency with MatBoss

Silver Lake High School, a medium-sized school in Kansas, has a dedicated wrestling program led by Assistant Coach Patrick Schultes. The program includes a mix of boys and girls wrestlers, with Coach Schultes primarily focusing on the girls’ meets.

Challenges

Before adopting MatBoss, Coach Schultes faced initial setup and video uploading challenges:

• Technical Issues: Initial technical issues with setting up and uploading videos to the main website caused some hiccups.
• Manual Record Keeping: Difficulty in maintaining accurate records by managers.

These challenges required extra time and effort, impacting efficiency.

Solution

Coach Schultes noticed other coaches using MatBoss and decided to research it further. The solution offered the desired features for film analysis and streamlined record keeping.

Implementation

The implementation process was simple for Coach Schultes, but he noted that others in the program did not become as proficient, leading to inconsistent use.

Results

Since adopting MatBoss, Silver Lake High School’s wrestling program has seen significant improvements:

• Improved Record Keeping: Accurate and accessible stats and video have streamlined the process.
• Time Savings: Efficiency in managing records, despite spending time re-watching and scoring matches, has increased.
• Performance Metrics: Setting season goals, like achieving the first takedown 70% of the time, has improved take down performance.

Conclusion

MatBoss has significantly streamlined the coaching and administrative tasks at Silver Lake High School, making them more efficient and effective. The integration of stats and video has provided valuable insights, helping Coach Schultes and his wrestlers focus on continuous improvement. The scoring system is particularly appreciated, making the process intuitive even for those new to the app.

I would recommend MatBoss to other coaches. It quickly became the most user-friendly app for recording and scoring matches. MatBoss  should give its support staff a  raise for their awesome help. We had nothing but good results with the product. We definitely plan on utilizing it again this upcoming season.
