In this day and age, time is also at a premium. We understand that with all of the people, tasks, and responsibilities that compete for your limited bandwidth, a smart approach to managing all the details of your program is critical.

We’ve identified three areas where innovative coaches multiply their impact by becoming more effective in the offseason:

  • Building consistency with coaching staff
  • Increasing athlete engagement
  • Maximizing performance

If any of these aspects aren’t getting the attention they deserve in your program, we’ve got a recommendation for you: Programax.

As many of our readers already know, Programax is a multi-faceted coaching app that puts powerful, customizable, efficiency-enhancing tools at the fingertips of coaches. The app’s features include integrated messaging, a custom workout builder, program-wide scheduling, file sharing, and much more.

To be clear, Programax is a sponsor of X&O Labs. This was only after we did a complete review and test of their app. As you’re about to see, this innovation is needed more today than ever.

In 2016, we featured articles on how Programax can improve communication within your program and the app’s ability to help make the most of your off season. A number of our readers took the opportunity to try Programax, and we followed up with one of them to learn about their experience. 

We spoke with Keith Badger, XandOLabs Insiders member, Programax customer, and head football coach at New Richmond High School (WI). Coach Badger recently wrapped up his fourth season with an impressive 9-3 record. He also teaches PE and is the head of strength and conditioning for the school. We spoke with Coach Badger in depth about his experience with Programax and have outlined the highlights of how Programax has helped him be a better coach.
