How Do You Scale a Curriculum Built on Spreadsheets ?

The Bottleneck

Strong Methodology. Zero Scalability.

Alex Relph and Sam Breslin, PLT4M founders, had a proven Strength & Conditioning methodology — and thousands of Excel worksheets to show for it. Their system couldn't scale.

Every new school meant more manual setup. There was no automation.

Programming couldn't be delivered remotely. Growth required more people, not a better system.

Updating the curriculum meant editing hundreds of sheets by hand, with no version control.

School districts don't adopt spreadsheets. Without a platform, there was no product to sell.

What Schools Were Dealing With


Training data went uncaptured

Progress was tracked on paper or not at all. No way to measure results or prove value to administrators.


no feedback loop

Athletes couldn't see their own improvement. Engagement dropped when progress was invisible.


Coaches buried in admin

Planning, logging, and reporting ate into the time they were supposed to spend coaching.

I audited their Excel methodology and designed a scalable SaaS platform and mobile app, which my team then built and deployed.
