Texas State Athletic Department Adopts the next level of communication with Teamworks.

SAN MARCOS, TEXAS— In Spring 2018, Texas State Department will fully use the Teamworks application on smartphones to engage student-athletes.

TeamWork is an application created by Zach Maurides on a mission to help athletes communicate better with their teams and staff. Over 2,000 teams across the nation are using Teamworks in order to communicate, create a schedule with student-athletes and help them succeed in both sport and academic performance.

Teamworks will allow coaches, staff and student-athletes to interact easier than ever before. The well-organized application will make it possible for athletes to see their class and practice schedules, other events and messages from the coaches and staff. Teamworks will help the Athletic Department to achieve their mission statement, “The Department of Athletics will be nationally recognized as a leader through its commitment to excellence in education and personal development, success in athletic competition, equitable opportunities, and for serving as a stakeholder in university and community pride.”

Texas State Athletic Department first adopted Teamworks in fall 2018 for coaches and student-athletes to try. Many coaches and student-athletes sent good feedbacks and Texas State Athletic Department will continue to use Teamworks in the next season and so on.

“I think all of us will be able to be more interconnected not only just one sport but also the whole athletic department and the whole school,” said Joy Chia, the representative of the Texas State Tennis, “I’m very excited to see the next level of communication with the student-athletes and the staff.”
