NEW: MAT OPS STATS PLATFORM

We're rolling out Mat Ops - your personal wrestling stats platform connected to Aether. With this you can:

• See your season record and stats (takedowns, pins, tech falls)

• View your match history with details

• Access the team calendar

• Share and receive match videos for analysis

• Track your progress with achievement badges

HOW TO GET SET UP:

1. Go to aethervtc.ai

2. Create an account (use your email or Google)

3. Click your profile icon (top right after signing in)

4. Click the "Stats" tab

5. Enter YOUR personal claim code (sent separately via ParentSquare)

6. Done! Your stats will appear automatically

ABOUT MATCH VIDEOS:

I wasn't able to capture every single match from this weekend due to some technical issues. For any matches that don't have videos attached, you can upload them yourself in the Aether platform and we can link them to your matches. We will be trying to capture as many as possible from here on out, but this gives you the ability to add any we miss.

This platform is still in BETA mode, so there could be some bugs here and there. But... you get to be the first to try it! Let me know if you run into any issues.

I am also finalizing putting the rest of the stats in for JV this week, so JV wrestlers - more stats are coming!

Check your ParentSquare for your personal claim code!

Let's have a great week. Carroll on Wednesday, then Shamrock Duals Saturday. Time to compete!

Picture Day, Gear Orders, Online Resources

👤Andrew Oberlin📅Friday, Nov 7 at 2:22 PM4 days ago

We will be having pictures today at 4:30. So everyone is to be in the room ready to practice at 3:00 p.m. today. After pictures you will be able to go home.

Here is our online store this year for our gear. The store will close next Friday so we can get everything in as soon as possible.

https://bsnteamsports.com/shop/bVKdBqfAbG

We are doing wrestling mindset again this year. And I am working on implementing a platform to help keep us all on the same page and do Wrestling Mindset. The schedule isn't quite done yet for the holiday practice times and other things so give me a few days on that. But I have created an online resource for wrestling mindset, schedule, basic nutrition recommendations, and applied some audio to the Predator Mindset book. This platform will be a work in progress and I will be adding features as we go and hopefully this is a good resource for our wrestlers. As a parent please take a look and let me know if you have any questions.

Wrestling Mindset Wednesday

👤Andrew Oberlin📅Wednesday, Nov 5 at 2:39 PM6 days ago

Reminder we will have Wrestling Mindset today. This will be a 13 week program that we do as a team every Wednesday from about 4:00 - 5:00 p.m.

This year we will do it a little differently and do a web version of it that I have been working on. I encourage parents to look it over. It is a very positive program.

It can be accessed here:

https://obe.aethervtc.ai/wrestling-mindset/

Everyone needs to fill this out also.

https://forms.gle/AKiGH8xCm22ZUUWt6

Next week I will be giving everyone a notebook to put all their Wrestling Mindset logs into.

We will have Senior Banner pictures tomorrow right after school. I will talk to the seniors about that tonight. Then team and individual pictures will be this Friday. I am finding out the exact time for that.

I will be getting you a link for tonight or tomorrow for this years gear and I will finish up the complete practice and competition calendar in the next couple of days.

Thank you and see you tonight!
