\u201cCommit is great, especially when you have multiple coaches trying to track the workouts of different groups training at the same time. It makes it easy to keep track of the planning.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The Customer<\/b><\/h1>\n

Florida State University<\/b><\/h2>\n

Florida State University (FSU) is one of the most respected research and learning institutions in the United States. Their swimming and diving teams consistently excel in college athletics, and their swimmers have won many competitions at the national and international levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Emma Svensson is an Assistant Swimming and Diving Coach with Florida State. She is a four-time NCAA qualifier, a two-time CCSA Women\u2019s Most Outstanding Performer of the Meet, and the 2013 CCSA Swimmer of the Year.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Challenge<\/b><\/h1>\n
\n

\u201cI was spending so much time entering stats by hand. It made sense to find a system that could help us do our workout plan and analysis automatically.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Manually tracking workout stats for an entire team<\/b><\/h2>\n

As an Assistant Coach with Florida State\u2019s Swimming and Diving Team, Emma has a lot of responsibilities. Her daily work involves leading various groups\u2014primarily the sprint group. She\u2019s also tasked with administrative work, such as recording workouts for the whole team.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a long time, she did this math by hand. She manually entered the stats into a spreadsheet and then plugged them into a formula that would sum up the stats. But this format was time-consuming, and made it difficult to share stats with other coaches and team members.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Solution<\/b><\/h1>\n
\n

\u201cAll of us [coaches] use Commit. We don\u2019t have to print out paper anymore; we just use our phones to pull up our workouts for the day, take attendance, and know exactly what\u2019s going on with our team.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Collaborative workout logging software<\/b><\/h2>\n

Commit Swimming<\/span><\/a> gives FSU\u2019s coaches a more streamlined way to write workouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, instead of each coach sending Emma their workouts to plug into a spreadsheet, each coach updates their own workout in the app the night before. Each coach can then pull up the app and see what everyone\u2019s workout plan is for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s helped their athletes too. During breaks, the head coach used to send out documents of possible workouts athletes could do at home. Now, they just give their athletes the app. If athletes want to follow along with their daily workouts at home, all they have to do is log in and review the plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Result<\/b><\/h1>\n
\n

\u201cOur head coach loves that he can log in, see the workouts, and leave comments without needing us to send him the info. It makes it easy to collaborate and track what we\u2019re planning even if we don\u2019t see each other every day.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

12 hours saved creating workout plans<\/b><\/h2>\n

Thanks to Commit<\/span><\/a>, practice prep and collaboration have never been easier. By Emma\u2019s estimation, Commit has easily saved her 12 hours of data entry every month.<\/span><\/p>\n

More important, Commit helps her and the other coaches keep track of workout planning and run things more efficiently. It enables them to review each other\u2019s practices and collaborate\u2014even if they\u2019re not on campus together.<\/span><\/p>\n
