“I don’t do Apple” is the reason sometimes given for not using Takedown. When the final rankings of stupid coach statements is published, this one will be in the top ten.

Personal Experience

I don’t do Apple either. I’ve never purchased a Mac or iPhone for personal use. I prefer Windows computers and Android phones and that’s what I buy.

I can understand “I don’t do Apple”

Great Tools Prevail

Apple announced the iPad in January 2010.

Around the same time, as a pilot I’d been following a company promising to eliminate the reams of paper needed to legally fly an airplane(*) with an app. When that company delivered a well-engineered, comprehensive, reliable app, I bought an iPad. My personal bias against Apple products didn’t matter one bit. I needed to use that app for important work.

Wrestling has Enough Challenges

Our sport has plenty of real challenges. Don’t let a personal brand preference get in the way of using the best tools available for the benefit of your team and the sport.

“I don’t do Apple” is dumb. Stop it.

(*) Coast-to-coast flight requires a 12 inch stack of charts. Without an app, piloting an airplane is more paper intensive than running a wrestling program.
