Source: Google Meet transcript uploaded by Shane (2026-02-12)

Attendees

  • Mustang SC: Fred Wilson
  • Game1: Amir Donath, Shane De Flores, Zachary Bohane, Cory Tell, Noah Bohane

Key Takeaways

Fred Wilson's Priorities

  • Already has extensive data suite: Beyond Pulse (biodata), BPRO AI (game analytics), Darkhorse AI (highlights), B1 (functional biomechanical movement for GKs, expanding to field players)
  • Building agnostic database for player comparison across platforms with universal standard measurements
  • Distilled 19 KPIs from BPRO data that indicate winning games
  • Dedicated staff member works with players/coaches on data implementation
  • Uses data for IDPs, managing player load, ensuring effective training
  • Provides measurable metrics (top speed etc.) to college coaches for recruiting

Concerns

  • Very hesitant to share "% chance of going pro" data with parents of 11-year-olds
  • Emphasized "will to win" as intangible factor hard to measure -- coached ~15-16 boys who went pro including Shane
  • Data should be a tool, not replace relational value coaches bring
  • Club pays for all tech resources to ensure high adoption (parents wouldn't pay if they don't understand value)
  • Need to articulate how Game1 complements existing data suite

Platform Response

  • Amir: predictive data not meant to be shared with parents directly
  • Platform measures "will to win" objectively through small-sided games (who wins, regardless of speed/tackles)
  • Algorithm highly customizable -- can remove pro pathway focus, emphasize actionable development
  • Mental strength assessment as a hook

Player Development Philosophy

  • Well-rounded player focus, move kids around positions until ages 13-14
  • Two resident sports psychologists, use Dan Abrahams' psychology academy
  • ~2,000 players ages 10-16 at all levels

Next Steps

  • Trial with U13 ECNL team, likely early March
  • Involve Dana (data analytics) and other directors
  • Need to show how Game1 complements (not replaces) existing data suite
