1. What is your elevator pitch?

A huge part of having success in the sports industry is about making the right connections. At Gameday Connections we have made it easier than ever for coaches, athletes and businesses who offer winning services to connect for opportunities on and off the field with our user-friendly platform.

2. Problem & Solution

Both coaches and athletes’ lifespan on any given team can be very limited. The sports industry is a fast-paced industry where your focus is on winning and competing with little time to focus on making the right connections to be successful on and off the field.

Our platform allows for coaches and athletes to find the right connections for their success on and off the field.

Now, coaches and athletes can spend less time searching for the services they need to be successful. Our directory allows coaches and athletes to search for service providers ready to meet their needs, whether it’s financial planning for the future, finding the right agent or products and equipment to take their game to the next level. Coaches can also use our advanced recruiting system to find coaches and athletes from every level.

3. Market — your target market and the overall market 

Our target market is coaches looking to expand their coaches network, gain exposure or looking for a cost-effective way to improve their staff and team.

Athletes — looking for a cost-effective way to gain exposure on the field or looking for the right connections to transition successfully off the field.

Business – -Businesses and individuals who would like to introduce their business, services, products, job opportunities to coaches and athletes.

4. Business Model — how do you make money? 

Our revenue comes from our sponsors, advertising, partnerships and our soon to be released member exposure features.

5. Management Team — with titles 

Corey Chamblin – Team Leader

6. What else do you want the audience to know about your venture?

Our network allows for coaches and athletes (current and former) to strengthen old connections or make new connections in the sports and business industries. While employers from the sports and business industries can recruit and search for candidates to fill open positions with our user-friendly recruiting tools.
