Matt’s Approach & Insights
Matt shared his philosophy, approach, and how PLT4M plays a role in his program. Here’s what he had to say:
Goals & Mission
“To create an environment for each student to succeed in the weight room.”
How I Use PLT4M
“We have 20 racks and each rack has an iPad. We have the kids sign in each day and once they login they see the workout for the day.
They use PLT4M every day and we track every day. We typically print out progress reports every month to monitor students.
PLT4M is a great assistant coach. We use it every day to track progress and I love the videos that are attached to the exercises. Kids of all levels can use the program.”
Why I Use PLT4M
“PLT4M is the best tool that I’ve ever used in my teaching career. It is the ultimate assistant coach that is always available to enhance the weight room experience.
The tracking component is elite and every school that is committed to the weight room should be using this program.”
Impact on My Program
“PLT4M is a great assistant coach. The content is great and the tracking component is great for kids to see their own personal success and development.”
Favorite Feature
“The flexibility of the programs and assortment of options. I think students are better at navigating through it today than the past.”
