It often can seem like finding a high schooler not attached to his or her smart phone is about as likely as finding Bigfoot.

The ADM activities department and its first year strength and conditioning coach, Tyler Bohlke, have decided to take advantage of that.

Bohlke has employed TeamBuildr, online strength training software available across a variety of platforms, including — you guessed it — smart phones.

“And on there is an individualized, personalized program for them that is based on the max that the kid has done most recently during our test period, and then that customized their workout in terms of the actual weights they should be putting on the bar,” said ADM activities director Reece Satre. “So there’s no longer a guessing of a 16 or 17-year-old athlete of how much weight they should lift; it’s customized completely to who they are and where they are as an athlete at time.”

Bohlke, a first-year full-time science teacher at the high school, started his strength and conditioning coaching duties in June. The first phase of his program focused on building athletes’ size and strength.

As the program has developed, Bohlke has used TeamBuildr to move athletes into the next phase: sports-specific workouts.

“Say we have 24 kids that are involved in a P.E. class or they’re after school coming in to workout with our coaches in there. They all have specific workouts that they can choose by simply typing in a code as far as what sport they’re coming up on next,” Satre said. “So maybe if they’re looking at wrestling, that sport will come up on their TeamBuildr and it will have a specific set of workouts. And that will look completely different probably then what a kid who might be coming in to do basketball, or maybe their next sport isn’t until soccer in the spring …”
