Game1: Amir Donath, Zachary Bohane, Shane De Flores, Cory Tell, Nikolas White, Aidan

Wants to understand organizational units, data set comparative analysis before scheduling on-site visit
Questions about required data sets for college and professional levels
How does the tool integrate into a periodization plan?
What's the long-term usage strategy beyond an initial test?
Concerned about data sensitivity (don't discourage players with negative data)
Wants "stickiness" and "tangibleness" - not just a one-off test
Background in technology/systems/processes - thinks about how tools behave long-term

Wants figure eight dribbling and juggling metrics (core to Albion's national ecosystem/philosophy)
Wants to see how the system is executed on the ground
30 years developing Albion, expanding nationally

Showed Austrian academy U13/U14 data (names changed)
Executive/coach view: customizable metrics, player ranking by potential
Example: Adam, 13yo but biologically ~15, 6'1" - wins games physically but weak on ball
AI suggests ball field + agility (not dribbling) for probable centerback
AI map: dots = players, green = higher potential, proximity = similar player types
Black line: 95% of players who made top 10 European league were above it
Can compare players side by side

Amir recommended pushing cost to parents via season fees (B2B model)
Mark pushed back: if only 20% of parents opt in, data is incomplete and useless to coaches
Mark sees it as a club tool, not consumer tool
Amir agreed: favorite scenario is working with the club directly
