LevelChanger Presents at California Coaches Clinic
Fresno State wrestling head coach Troy Steiner invited us to the California Coaches Clinic. Here’s what we talked about.
More Leaders Needed in College Coaching
Sample NCAA Division I head coach responses to an email outreach:
Head coach 1: "I'd like to learn more about your app."
Head coach 2: "I didn't ask for this email, take me off the list"
Neither coach has a top 20 team.
Head coach 2's team website is sparsely populated with stats and their team Twitter feed lacks timely and consistently presented dual and match results.
Head coach 1 may or may not use Takedown.
But, that isn't the point. Head coach 1 is a learner.
College wrestling is in dire need of more coach 1, less coach 2 leadership. The sport can't survive with coaches that spend more time polishing their cauliflower ears than they do innovating in all aspects of their program.
We need more CEOs, fewer mat moppers.
Takedown Scoring and Stats Release 2.12.9
Takedown Scoring and Stats Release 2.12.9 is available for download in the App Store.
Also, Apple just released iOS 13 and, for the iPad, renamed it to iPadOS 13.
Should you upgrade to iOS 13 (iPadOS 13)?
With today’s Takedown Release 2.12.9, we’ve fixed known iPadOS 13 related bugs. As far as Takedown Scoring and Stats is concerned, we think upgrading to iPadOS 13 will be OK. You might have other apps on your iPad that influence your decision. You don’t need to upgrade to 13 to use Takedown Scoring and Stats and our upcoming major fall release will work fine with iOS 12.x.
Another Consideration
Takedown LIVE does not currently work with iPadOS 13, it crashes on launch. We know and will get to it.

Wrestling Participation in High School: Patient is Stabilized
Update: Digital Weight Management
Last fall we added to digital weight management to Takedown Scoring and Stats. Developed in partnership with Befour, a leading wrestling scale manufacturer, this new feature enabled paperless weight capture — either manually or via Befour’s bluetooth scale — and a variety of reports and graphs for tracking athlete weight.
During this past high school season (2018-2019), more than 150 schools used this feature to record 17,000+ weigh-ins. Of these weigh-ins, 75% were recorded wirelessly using Befour’s bluetooth scale.
Top five states for digital weight management:
Virginia
Ohio
Wisconsin
California
Pennsylvania
And the top ten programs:
Chantilly, Virginia
Frederick High School, Maryland
Saginaw Heritage, Michigan
Middletown, New York
Chilton High School, Wisconsin
Garden City High School, Kansas
Kirtland High School, Ohio
Palo Alto High School, California
Sulphur, Oklahoma
Revere High School, Ohio
Not surprisingly, most weights were recorded early in the week:
This is an exciting and encouraging start for this new-to-wrestling capability. We will continue working with our partner, Befour, to enhance this feature and promote its adoption throughout the wrestling community.
