Charlotte Country Day School Elevates Athlete Performance with Volt’s AI-Powered Cortex®

Stefan Montanez, Director of Sports Performance at Charlotte Country Day School, relies on Volt, especially Cortex® AI, to support seamless program transitions, increase athlete engagement, and enhance training consistency across multi-sport teams.


The Challenge of Supporting Multi-Sport Athletes with Consistent, Adaptable Training

At Charlotte Country Day School, where many student-athletes participate in multiple sports, Stefan Montanez faced the challenge of efficiently transitioning athletes between different sport-specific training programs without compromising training quality or safety. Previously using TeamBuildr, he needed a solution that would offer adaptive programming, consistent support, high-quality exercise videos and streamline program management across various sports.
