This post was written in collaboration with the Personal Best Pro app, all words and opinions are my own.

When all three boys were in baseball at once, it was nuts. Of course, they had to be on different teams, with different schedules for practices and games. Sometimes there were two games happening at once at different fields. It was enough to drive a sane person crazy trying to keep up with it all, and I am not all together sure I meet the current definition of sane as it is. I wish there had been an app like Personal Best Pro back then.

Tracking Your Child's Schedule with Personal Best Pro

Personal Best Pro is an organizational app designed to help manage a family's sports schedules and activities in one convenient place. How does it work?

Step 1: Upload your child's information into a profile within the app. Simply click the "Add New Person" button, and you can add information pertaining to that child and their activities, including their picture.


Step 2: Once you have added a child's sports and interests, you can go into each individual sport and press the "Add Activity" button to add schedule times, setup game days or put in personal goals, accomplishments or event times.


Step 3: Once the activities such as practices and games have been set within each sport, you can press the plus sign button next to each activity to open up additional options. These include a counter, a timer and a manual option. With the counter, you can press the arrows on the screen up or down to count outs, innings, goals, or even things like push-ups or sit-ups. The timer options acts as a stop watch and is great for keeping track of running or drill times. In manual mode, you can manually input times, counts, achievements and there are even puts that instantly let you take photos or videos and store them within the app.

Additional features include the gallery where you can view saved photos or pictures, and a graph area that shows you your child's progress in a sport or activity over time.

As much as I love the Personal Best Pro app for sports and keeping sporting event schedules in check, I have other ideas for possible uses for it too. For instance, I think it would be great to keep track of reading fluency checks and progress for my 11 year old with dyslexia, and also would be a great tool for math drill time keeping and recording as well!
