"We don't do enough to engage the kid. We're doing too much to engage everybody else except that kid."
Matt Young takes pride in his company, Personal Sport Record, being different from other athletic development software in that it focuses on the measure of a complete athlete (competence, character, connection, and confidence). Even more, it highlights the importance of safety in two fields: concussions and abuse. Matt talks with us about coaches’ clearly articulated visions for their seasons, taking away opportunities for screen time, and creativity being the key to innovation.
