Source: Google Meet transcript uploaded by Shane (2026-02-12)
Attendees¶
- Cal Poly: David O'Kennedy (Head Coach, 4th season; previously 7 years at Stanford, 10 years at D2)
- Game1: Amir Donath, Shane De Flores, Zachary Bohane, Cory Tell
Key Takeaways¶
David O'Kennedy's Interest¶
- ID camp format aligns well (had one that weekend with 100+ kids)
- Major pain point: can't give individualized feedback to 100+ ID camp kids -- Game1 solves this
- Interested in searchable database of player data for college recruitment, especially by GPA
- Sees value in development plans and pathways for ID camp participants
Platform Demo Highlights¶
- Coach-facing dashboard: player scores, projected adult heights, AI-driven positional/development recommendations
- Benchmark customizable to D1 level (not just pro)
- Game Impact score: derived from 5v5/6v6, only metric = games won (identifies "winners")
- AI map: proximity = similar player types, 95% pro threshold line
- Transfer learning: algorithm translates across MLS, NWSL, NCAA divisions
- Player-facing: simplified overview, pathways tab showing current/future % for D1/D2/D3
Implementation Discussion¶
- Testing can replace one morning session of ID camp
- 1.5 to 3 hours depending on group size
- Cal Poly camps are targeted (kids interested in Cal Poly specifically), not mass numbers
Next Steps¶
- Send video of testing process
- Schedule testing in ~2 weeks
- Discuss flexible pricing models
- Engage Cal Poly's data person
