MatMaster is a wrestling tracker built around one idea: get better by paying attention to what you actually practice — not just whether you win. LOG ALL OF YOUR TRAINING - Practice: add the techniques you drilled, set intensity and time. - Matches & events: log a single match or a whole tournament — result, how it ended (fall, tech fall, major, decision, forfeit), and the techniques you landed vs. attempted. - Lifts: a simple strength log — exercises, sets, reps, and weight. - Cardio: runs, sprints, swimming, biking, with duration and distance. - An optional "Advanced" section captures opponent, weight class, score, period/time, a self-rating, and notes. SEE YOUR PROGRESS - A dashboard that puts your practice front and center: total mat time, time by position, strength & conditioning totals, and how long it's been since you last trained. - A progress overview with your best moves in neutral, top, and bottom. - Per-technique breakdowns with your real match success rate. - A full match and event history you can search and revisit. EXPLORE THE TECHNIQUE CATALOG - Browse and search the full technique library with descriptions. - Create your own techniques and log everything you actually drill. GET PERSONALIZED INSIGHTS - Coaching tips that connect practice to performance — like a technique you use in matches but rarely drill, or one you grind in practice that isn't translating yet. - Recovery-aware reminders: rest when you've been grinding, and a nudge when you've been away. FOR COACHES - A team dashboard with the whole roster at a glance: mat time leaders, latest activity, and which techniques the room is hitting or struggling with. - Tap any athlete for their full picture: practices, matches, lifts, cardio, and their own techniques. - Run team challenges: set a window and point values, and a live leaderboard tracks everything your athletes log. - Athletes join by link, QR code, or team code — and you approve every request. BUILT FOR WRESTLERS - 40+ core techniques across takedowns, turns, rides, defense, escapes, reversals, and fundamentals. - Smart match logging that won't let you enter scores that don't add up. - Clean, fast, and focused on improvement. Your data is private to your account by default. You're always in control: choose to share your training with a coach by joining their team, and leave anytime. You can edit or delete any log — or your whole account — whenever you want. MatMaster is intended for wrestlers 13 and older.
