The wave of the future...
Without going into detail, let me begin by qualifying my remarks. I have been coaching longer than I care to admit (and at a relatively high level). I have always tried to be on the front line when it comes to organization and management of player files, drills and practices. I have even designed some of my own practice schedule programs. Suffice it to say that I have been down this road a few times. Assistant Coach seems to have pulled together all of the important aspects required to manage teams and even entire organizations with multiple teams. I believe this program can, with a few minor adjustments/additions satisfy the needs of any coach who wants to be on top of his team's status. The Suggestions: 1) The ability to sync between devices or save/mail the database and open it on a second device (iPad to iPhone and vice-versa) 2) The ability to import data/names from Contacts If that works, and the program cost a little more, then so be it. I think those who are serious about wanting to have control of, and quick access to, their information can accept that. I have tried just about every option on the market... Some kept good attendance data, some kept track of practices, etc. But I never really had one that "really" helped me to: • Write the practice • Select the drills that were best suited for the group that was practicing that day • Kept the practice moving and on time • Instantly make notes to better prepare for the next session ° Print and Share Practices ° Record Games and Player Statistics ° Make Videos of Drills and/or use a Chalkboard Assistant Coach has helped me achieve all the above. In addition, I am able to write practices on the fly ... The only Thing missing is a Timer that runs in conjunction with the Practice Session ... but I can improvise for that Ritz Ingram Head Coach and Program Director, FT Fulda Roadrunners / Germany I only hope that the developer continues to work on his App... Thanks for the current version ... Ritz Ingram
