At Capacity:
As the strength program grew, Francis Howell Central’s Athletic Director noticed that his strength coach was at capacity. With over 300 athletes spanning across sports teams and weight training classes, Coach Radigan needed some form of support.
With the blessing of his AD, Coach Radigan sought out help in an online tool. He knew he needed something that could help with programming and tracking, but not break the bank.
At first, he looked at timing systems that were used at other local schools but felt that this only gave him a partial fix to manage class time. He managed classes with the “Radigan Factor,” not a fancy timing system up on the wall.
Malach knew what he really needed was something that would help alleviate the amount of time he spent outside of the weight room writing workouts and entering weights into a spreadsheet.
Certified Programs, Certified Passion
After some searching, Coach Radigan found a programming tool in PLT4M that would help complement what he was already doing in the weight room. With PLT4M, he was freed up from the burdens of programming workouts and weekends filled with hours of data entry.
Now, Coach Radigan has the best of both worlds. He can assign PLT4M’s programs that are chock-full of planned progressions and scientifically-backed percentages. And in turn, Coach Radigan is free to give more one-on-one coaching and individualized feedback to his students and athletes.
Each athlete now has personalized workouts, visual insights to their progress, and of course the continued support of their passionate strength coach.
While Coach Radigan entrusts the PLT4M programs for the detail they have, he also likes making the occasional tweaks so he can have his own special touch. This lets him insert that special “Radigan Factor” when he wants, while not having to reinvent the wheel when it comes to programming.
