Game1 AI -- College Recruiting Showcase Proposal¶

Concept: Game1-Hosted Showcase with College Coach Access¶

Game1 hosts a standardized showcase event where youth players (ages 13-16) are tested, benchmarked, and profiled. College coaching staffs receive dashboard access to a searchable database of all participants, enabling data-driven recruiting from a single event.

Why This Matters for College Programs¶

Traditional showcases and ID camps rely on subjective, in-person observation
Coaches can only watch a fraction of participants in a given weekend
No standardized data exists to compare players across different events, clubs, or regions
GPA and academic data are disconnected from athletic performance profiles

Event Format¶

Morning Block (2-3 hours): Standardized Game1 Combine - Physical measurements (height, seated height, weight, DOB for biological age) - Linear sprint (10m + 30m) - Pro agility shuttle (5-10-5) - Agility test (without ball) - Dribbling parkour (with ball) - Figure-eight juggling - 5v5 small-sided games (6+ rounds, teams reshuffled each round) - Mental strength assessment (Focus, Resilience, Composure, Decision Making, Adaptability, Confidence)

Afternoon Block: Coached scrimmages and/or additional sessions (optional, can be tailored to hosting partner)

What College Coaches Receive¶

Full dashboard access to all tested players
Sortable database by: position, GPA, projected adult height, probability score (D1/D2/D3), individual test metrics, biological maturity rate, mental strength scores
Player comparison tool for side-by-side evaluation
AI map showing player types, potential clusters, and positional recommendations
Longitudinal tracking if players attend multiple events -- see progression over time
Player cards with key metrics for quick evaluation

What Players and Families Receive¶

Individualized performance profile (no comparisons to peers)
Development pathway showing current and projected probability of reaching D3/D2/D1
Personalized training plan with AI-recommended focus areas
Expected adult height and biological maturity context

Scale and Logistics¶

Target: 200-300 players per event
Minimum: 12 players per testing group
Staffing: Game1 manages full on-site operation
Location: Any standard grass or turf facility with goals
Equipment: All provided by Game1

Revenue Model Options¶

Player registration fee ($75-$150 per participant)
College program subscription for dashboard access across multiple events
Co-hosted with club partners who nominate players and share in registration revenue

Privacy and Compliance¶

Assessment-only event with explicit parental consent
CCPA/GDPR-aligned data handling
No recruiting commitments or contracting discussions occur on-site
Players/families control what data is shared with college programs

Branding Options¶

Game1-branded event with college programs listed as participating evaluators
Co-branded with a club or regional partner (e.g., Game1 x [Club Name] College Showcase)
White-label option for large organizations wanting to run under their own brand

Differentiation from Existing Showcases¶

Every player gets objective, data-backed feedback (not just the ones coaches happened to watch)
Biological maturity context means late bloomers aren't overlooked
Coaches can evaluate players they never saw in person through the dashboard
Standardized data enables cross-event, cross-region player comparison over time

Next Steps¶

Identify 3-5 college programs for pilot participation
Select host location and date (Bay Area pilot: target April-May 2026)
Partner with 2-3 regional clubs for player nominations
Game1 handles all logistics, technology, and staffing
