Strength and Conditioning
Before taking the head coaching job at Manatee High School, Coach Yusuf Shakir led the program at Tallahassee Lincoln High School where he first learned about and implemented the TeamBuildr program.
Now at Manatee, Coach Shakir uses software to write workout programming both in-season and in the offseason. As players record their max effort sets, new 1RM's are created which updates the Leaderboard and the Team Feed automatically.
Because of the size of the football team, the freshmen train separately from the upperclassmen. MHS is able to group athletes by Freshmen and Varsity which not only segments their training program, but also segments their Leaderboards and Team Feed. Coaches are assigned to train and manage the different Groups in TeamBuildr.
The program also uses the TeamBuildr Evaluations feature - a testing module that allows coaches to create their own custom performance tests (Eg: combine, conditioning test, strength index, etc.). Shakir builds a custom test he has been using for years into TeamBuildr which collects the data and automates a report that ranks the athletes based on the test results.
We use TeamBuildr to track our athletes' progress at all times of the year without having to test them on 1RM too often. When we do test them, we use the platform to store test results and rank our team.
