Special Episode – Reeplayer and PlayerStat Data

In today’s episode, I speak with Orhan from Reeplayer and Colin from PlayerStat Data. We talk about what’s changed for each of them since we last spoke. They tell us about their new partnership and how that will help youth soccer players. Plus, we discuss what’s next in recording and analyzing games. Learn more about reeplayer and playerstat data

Matt: [00:00:00] Hi everybody. Welcome to Discover College Soccer Today. I’m lucky enough to have two repeat guests joining me at the same time. Uh, you know, first ever for Discover College Soccer. Uh, we like, you know, we like doing new things around here. So today we’ve got Orhan from Replay and Colin from Player Stat Data.

Uh, excited to talk to them both again. You know, I’ve met a lot of college soccer coaches in person, uh, over the years and these are two gentlemen who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with in person as well. Uh, so excited to see them ’cause it’s been too long. But Orhan, let’s start with you. Um, just tell us about what replay is, in case some folks didn’t see or hear that first episode when we talked about it.

What, what, what are you guys doing these days? 

Orhan: Yeah. First of all, um, the pleasure is also mine. Um, I, I, I love meeting with people and getting to know people that, um, walk the walk, talk the talk in this industry because replay started for the same reason [00:01:00] I was a former athlete. Um, top goal scorer, rank number one in the nation.

And, um, you know, you would think something would happen. From that and nothing did, because I only have pictures to show and I don’t think, I don’t think you can go far with pictures today. So, and, and back then and ever. So, um, it really came out of that need. And, you know, we’re really in the business of reinventing, uh, youth sports media democratizing this space, um, to make use force footage autonomous with AI cameras.

Focus really on instant delivery of, um, broadcast and engagement and monetization. Um, because, you know, truth be told, there are way too many games, two and a half million games to be exact every week being played, never broadcast, never captured. For context, I always like to look this kind of numbers up.

Um, that’s every week. That’s more than, uh, what ESPN has broadcast since its inception. [00:02:00] Um, so just for context, you know, we love to watch pro sports, but you know, we’re for forgetting our youth here and that’s at replay and for me as a former athlete, unacceptable. 

Matt: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Well, Colin, tell us about player stat data.

What are you guys doing these days? 

Colin: And so similar to lines of orhan with replay, it’s what we look to do. That data is to provide the performance evidence back to the youth soccer space. And by performance evidence, I mean, uh, the kid in the car on the way home from a match, sitting at home with the parent or even the head coach wondering what happened in the game.

Trying to trace back through a memory or some subjective analysis, and essentially we’re taking, um, the match footage from our users. Again, the individual player, the parent or the head coach taking the [00:03:00] objective in game stuff. Which is possession, defensive attacking, goal keeping set pieces, and cutting out the guesswork around the player development pathway.

It’s, here’s what player a, A did in this game and has done over the last 10, 15 games, and we step back. We allow the coach to player, the parent to interpret. Those data points, those video clips and events, ultimately to help the player to realize elements of their developments that they may not have realized and to work on what they believe they need on the training ground and not rely on the, what we’re used to hearing in our careers.

I think you could do better here. Um, I believe you could be stronger at this, whereas our data solutions. Point to the objective evidence. Here’s what you did in the game, and back it up with the video. So everyone is able to get that clear picture of performance and takes, again, essentially taking the guesswork out of a player’s development pathway.[00:04:00] 

Matt: Yeah. Awesome. And, and folks, what makes this, uh, this podcast even better is we’re, we’re representing about nine hours in time difference here we got, or how in California, me and Florida, Colin, and I know that it’s fantastic that we’re all here at the same time, but again, I, I, both of you guys, we’ve, we’ve chatted before.

Um, and, and we all know that, especially right now in the age of AI and, and software development, things are. Iterating and getting better so quickly. Uh, you know, it seems like every few months there’s a new, you know, a new model of chat GPT out or, or a new this, that, and the other thing out. So, Orhan, tell me how, how has replay evolved since the last time you and I spoke?

What’s different now, uh, about the platform and, and what you guys are doing? 

Orhan: Um, I, I think you bring up something really exciting, um, and scary at the same time. I mean, everyone talks about it the same [00:05:00] way, and I think it’s good to address the elephant in the room. AI is iterating fast, we’re adopting it fast, and then, you know, there are sides to it that we may not like, and those discussions is not part of this podcast, but that can go on, you know, forever.

Um, which is also good to talk about some of which we’ll touch on on this podcast. There’s a number of things I wanna say. Um, but what, what we do at replay is, um, you know, we wanna actually adopt the strengths of ai. Not the parts that it likes to hallucinate and it likes to, you know, the, the weak parts of its personality.

So, you know, I might call you up, Matt, if I wanna start a podcast, but, uh, you know, maybe not to play golf. I don’t know, maybe you’re a great golfer, but No, no, you hit the, hit the nail on the head with that one. Yeah. So, um, you know, to, to oversimplify this, there are three pillars that we really focus on. [00:06:00] Um.

Broadcasting engagement and monetization. Um, you know, AI could be great at these things and um, you know, I’m happy to unpack those, but I think those are literally the missing layers to youth sports. And we’re not reinventing anything other than our proprietary AI and our systems. We’re just taking what’s already working in pro sports and bringing that fully, uh, autonomous into youth sports.

Um, you know, I, I like to call it fully autonomous, ESPN, you know, to make it simple, because once you grab one of these cameras, you just press a button and you’re broadcasting, AI’s doing that for you. Your audience is engaging and we have some incredibly exciting things coming up early next year. We’ve been piloting it for some time and people love it, and it’s, there’s nothing like it out there anywhere.

Um, and then monetization. We’re also releasing something really game [00:07:00] changing, um, early next year. This is being piloted with some of our club teams around the nation today where they get to monetize just because they have a camera and they can broadcast. So, um, there are areas that I wanna say we don’t get into, we touch our toes into.

We’re explicit about it. I go on a lot of sales calls myself, and I’ll say, look, we do these things better than anybody else. By the way, um, you know, self, you know, shameless plug, this is one of those podcasts we do deliver, uh, uh, content faster than anybody else. In fact, as soon as the whistle blows to start the game, we’re delivering the content already.

You’re not waiting one to three days. To receive your, your, your, your, your content. So we really focus on that. And what we don’t focus on is the type of stuff that Colin delivers, analytics, some of which we do. And we’re explicit about what [00:08:00] we’re doing and what we’re not delivering. And just like chat, GPT or whatever you might use, might say, Hey, check your answers.

AI is not perfect. We say that too. And then we’ll point you to Colin, um, and say, if you want serious analytics, you wanna wear the big boy pants and you know, call the shots that way, then go in this direction. And when we talk about the partnership, I don’t want to jump the gun for you. There’s a couple of things I want to say ’cause I’m already getting perked up about this.

Um, and um, you know, I’ll talk about that. But, um, certainly what’s been different if I just wanna kind of end it on this note to. Explicitly answer your question at the very end is that, um, we were, we were very focused on capturing, meaning, recording the experience. Now we’re very focused on broadcasting, engaging and monetizing the experience.

So ESPN, fully autonomous, I think that’s pretty straightforward. No, 

Matt: [00:09:00] it’s fantastic. Um, and, and, and yes, you kind of, you teased it a little bit. There is a reason I’ve got both these gentlemen on at the same time, and we’ll get to that in a minute. But, but Colin, I know you and I have worked together a lot actually over the last few years, uh, back and forth with, with player stat data, with some, some, uh, myself, my, my daughter, some of our team actually piloting some things and, and, and checking out all the, the analytics and stuff like that.

But what. What I first saw when we first met is way different than what player that is today. So talk to me about the evolution. How have you gone from from A to B and what does it look like now? 

Colin: So I think when we. In, in, but when we met in person, Matt, it was Philadelphia, that’s nearly three years ago.

Um, we had this holistic package where we had, uh, the technical side, the physical side, the socioeconomic, the, the mental side, and trying to bring all those bits together [00:10:00] for that full development picture of a youth player. And over time we realized actually. We need to pay this back. We pay it back to what we were good at.

And what we were good at was collecting effective, simple, objective player performance, data outputs, and giving it back to the end user. So within that, we then. Made things quite simple. We still kept an element of our speed, uh, in, um, our users being able to access the data outputs and insights. And we upped, upped, upped our exposure to making sure that our stuff is right, that our stuff under library our is correct.

So since we last spoke, we now have a mobile app that allows. Individual players and parents to get their game by game. Um, performance data breakdowns sent straight to their phones [00:11:00] after they send us the match video footage. And we’re moving pretty soon towards a web app that allows the coaching staff to access the entire team, all the players.

But now we’re going to allow players access to as well, giving a more granular view on their performances and development. Development pathways through our, through, through their laptop. So it was a change of focus around what we were doing instead of that entirely holistic, 360 degree field development to focusing on, I think it’s 74 individual metrics and insights.

Delivering those effectively, delivering those accurately, and delivering those for the, for the user that’s looking for them. Regarding the offering as well. How we’ve changed it is we were direct to clubs and direct to teams only, and if a technical director said, look, it’s not for us, or We don’t want to add to the registration fees or whatever, that was us [00:12:00] done and we come back again next year.

But we’ve added an element where the individual player or parent Cano access the, uh, level of analytics that we offer. So if the head coach says no, the tech director says no, but four parents on the sidelines say, yes, we want it. We’re now able to get it to those four parents. So it’s similar to what Orhan mentioned about, um, democratizing everything, leveling the playing field.

We focused on. The best data or in collecting the best data, providing the best data, and providing the most controllable and flexible ways for our end users. So it’s very user centric. Uh, now it’s very much focused on the player as to what the player needs and within our kind of pricing mechanisms and to packs.

Full control goes back to the end user. So they pay us by the game in these token packs. So [00:13:00] not, has never happened with replay and never will, but if the video camera doesn’t work for a particular game, you’re not wasting, um, money on a game that doesn’t work. If the player comes off injured after five minutes or if the player doesn’t come on for the last five minutes, if the parent or player doesn’t want to see that, that game analyzed.

They don’t have to. So it’s really providing that exclusive controllable experience for the end user. What they, every player is different. So we believe their analytics experience should, should match that. And um, we’ve created it and we’re now providing it. 

Matt: No, it’s fantastic. And, and you know, one of the things that I know Player Stat Data has on the back end too is, is it’s, it’s starting to clip stuff already.

Um, and you know, a lot of the, this podcast is about the, the kids trying to go play in college. And as oral mentioned, you, you only had pictures, you didn’t have video. And so now. It sounds like [00:14:00] you guys are, are having a, uh, a partnership that’s, that’s been announced. So I’ll, I’ll you guys pick Who wants to talk to me about the partnership?

What does it mean? What will it bring to, it’s gonna be orhan. That’s fine. What, what is the partnership? What, what does it mean to a player? Uh, for, you know, you know, I, I’ve got a kid trying to go play in college. Why is the replay player stat data partnership important? How will it help, you know, the typical parent with a player, the player, et cetera?

Orhan: Um, I, I, I’m very excited about this partnership. Um, before I jump into that, I have to say a couple of words about Colin and everything he said, because first of all, I didn’t know. Where they came from to today. So that was news to me. And I’ve been talking to this guy for some time, and it looks like when you had your podcast, it was a while back and things were a little different.

One thing I will say is that, um, he’s a very fun [00:15:00] CEO to talk to. He cares a lot. I’ve, I’ve talked to him on, on WhatsApp for hours. This guy will. Like put his kids to bed, come back and call me again and just geek out about, you know, how he can serve the market better. Like, that’s always the thing. How can we serve the kids better?

How can we make our services more affordable? How can we chop it up this way? And, and I am this way too. And you know, we haven’t met in person and we haven’t talked about why we’re this way. I would love to do that someday, Colin, and grab a drink. Maybe all three of us or whoever else is on listening to this podcast.

If you find us, you know, corner us in a bar and let’s have a good old conversation about how to raise the status quo because the two of us will do that. And then even better, we’ll go and f and deliver on that regardless of the challenges. So, [00:16:00] you know, in front of everybody, I wanna, you know, thank and applaud Colin for always being.

On his word and carrying that. And if he needs to pivot, he always has a good reason. And, and I’m there with him. So, uh, hopefully we can continue that because these kind of. Alignments don’t happen very easily. And when they do happen, these things, you know, people change status quo, you know, and people make the IP happen and the tech happen.

Um, and this is sort of like my perspective and the way we’ve come as far as we’ve come, because Replay today has only raised, you know, three mil, less than 3 million. And when you look at Trace Vo Pix, what? Pick, pick, pick one out the. 250 million plus. 200 million plus. Right? And so, um, how is it that replay is US based?

How is it that we’re manufacturing and, [00:17:00] and, and giving jobs to people in the US and, and shipping outta here and not overseas? So onshore operations, how is it that we’re delivering content faster than anybody else? And why are we partnering with these guys and, and going in this path and. Um, the truth is, you know, I think we have a duty to uphold.

Um, I’ve always believed that we owe more to the athletes who trust in us with their moments. I, again, I was one of those kids, and as a kid you have this belief in the back of your mind that adults are gonna take care of you. That’s their job. They’re not gonna let you down. As long as you do your best, they’re gonna lend a handout and they’re gonna take care of you.

And they show up, they put in the work, and the least we can do to make sure their efforts are seen. The least we can do is to make sure that their efforts are seen clearly and truthfully. [00:18:00] And that truthfully part is where Colin comes in. So, um, you know, we, we do believe in sports analytics. We also choose data integrity over today’s AI generated what I call dirty data.

When you go to chat, GPT or wherever you like to go, and you ask for something, it can generate an image and give you six fingers on a human or a third arm, or it can give you a paragraph that sounds great, but then you’re like, wait a second, is the data in here, right? And then it says, I’m sorry, actually that wasn’t correct.

It hallucinates, and so I won’t get into the weeds because we know how the sausage gets made. We are an AI company. I can sit here and just toot our horn about this and that and say, yeah, we can do analytics too. But today’s not one of those days because I think that we need data integrity. I think that in a couple of years, people will wake up [00:19:00] and say, AKA Scouts will say, you know, we need data.

We can trust. Last thing I will say is that I like to kind of also visualize this. If we have a hundred thousand athletes using AI analytics data and we have a hundred thousand athletes using hard earned data, whether it’s human analytics that Colin is doing, or trackers like those bras, who’s, who’s actually earning their their damn data, these kids are, and so are these kids that are earning that data.

Getting punished. And again, like I was most of the time one of those kids. So I connect with those, uh, with that cohort and we might be rewarding, um, those that are receiving AI analytics and we have a very strong stance and a line that we draw on the sand when it comes to this. I’m gonna post something on LinkedIn very similar to this.

Uh, I know we made the [00:20:00] announcement with, uh, Polaris stat data, but this is what the partnership is about. And you know, we wanna make sure that yes, you can broadcast, yes, we’ll give you some analytics, but then your core analytics that, which we might not even call it analytics, but your actual analytics that you, you’re gonna need and get.

It’s gonna come from companies like Ssta Data and we’re working on these kind of integrations so that this is even more seamless. Um, and you go through, right through our system, get the data you need, um, and players that data is serving, um, 

Matt: that need. Yeah. And then I guess that last, that last bit is, is kind of exactly what I was wondering.

So, you know, what, what does this partnership, integration, whatever you wanna call it, what does it look like compared to someone who’s used to. VO or trace or huddle or PLO or, or whatever, like what kind of gimme the, you reach our 

Orhan: camera and, um, you can shop around with whoever you [00:21:00] want your analytics to be taken care of.

You’re not vendor locked. You’re going with the person that you want. You’re getting the best price. And the first one that we’re announcing this partnership with is player stat data for all the right reasons. And so what it looks like is that. You don’t have to do anything. They’ll pick up your footage, analyze it, and give you all your analytics.

It’s, it should be simple and it is as simple as that. All you do is tap a button. AI does your entire recording and broadcasting, and then players that data picks that up, analyze it, and gives you data with data integrity. 

Matt: Colin, anything on that? On, on, on the backside? 

Colin: He’s, he’s 

Matt: nailed 

Colin: it. Orhan Hass nailed it.

I’d love to add more to it, but, uh, I will say to kind of peacock ourselves a little, that Orhan said they’ve raised less than 3 million compared to the Vs. And huddles we’ve raised. Zero. [00:22:00] Completely booed. Completely booed. Get me outta this podcast right now. Yeah. So I say you give us, give, if we get your 3 million, our, and we’ll be in a great spot too.

Um, but yeah, look, we, we focused. Our main focus is this stuff has to be right, and there’s horror stories and I won’t mention the, uh, analytics packages we see. We’ve seen, or the stories we’ve heard, but we’ve seen golds missed teams winning three one and they logging in and see that they, that they lost two, one and there’s no there, there’s no trust.

Built in, in a product like that, uh, there’s for the end user or the player, the coach, the parent, there’s no end value. There’s no utility. If they’re paying for data they can’t trust, how are they able to use it as evidence around, okay, I need to work on this, or maybe I should have done that. So we’ve just [00:23:00] gone deep down into it and made sure our stuff is right.

Um, how we’ve done that is through. Vastly experienced analysts that have watched well over 10,000 games each, uh, to this point across a variety of levels and a variety of companies. Uh, we have it in house. We have a quality control check process. We have something very simple whereby if we’re doing a team game and we have the score and, uh, the, the final score that if the game finished two one, and yet we’ve only tagged two goals as an example.

The system goes, woo, woo, woo. There’s something wrong here. So we’ve put in all these safeguards. We’ve put in a spot checking system again, raising, zilch, uh, because where else would the money go apart from your product? Do you know? So we’ve put all this in, uh, no fancy marketing, just this [00:24:00] lovely Irish accent trying to get it out into the US world, but it’s.

Focus on the core product for us, which is data. Ours is right. Ours is easy to interpret and ours is easy to use because it’s right. So that’s kind of what we’re doing with the Orent replay is, okay, we have this product that we know is going to enhance the experience of all the replay users, but it’s also that tick box.

For some mad reason, one of our hand’s users doesn’t want to use us. Obviously they’re, I’d have to come over and just speak them into kind of coming around to our side. But the choice is theirs. Do they want this game analyzed? Tick yes. Goes to us. Do they want this game analyzed? They just go past the tick and they get on with it.

So it’s really is focused on that end user. And then when they do decide that they want to have this, uh, level of analytics and, and data [00:25:00] output sent to them. When they do get it, they can trust us wholeheartedly. And the day that we get something wrong or we miss something that, um, we shouldn’t miss, it’s going to be actually damning day for us as a company because we pride ourselves on getting every single thing right.

Um, and with the quality of footage we’ve seen from, uh, replay, from the. The fact you just don’t see the camera go down. Do you know, we’ve worked with a lot of different camera systems and what we do and different weather systems can affect the quality of the footage, which means it’s difficult for us to capture.

Is that the number 11 on the other side or is it the number 10? Elements like that, which leads into our integrity side of things. We’re not going to guess, but it’s difficult with certain video, um, outputs at times to be able to identify. Is that the number eight? Is it the number nine replay? It’s just such an [00:26:00] excellent, oh, and 

Orhan: I think I wanna also, if I may say, um, when we get the, this integration will have, you know, versions to it, when we get into the phase of getting you guys data even instantly during a live broadcast, um, that only expedites the turnaround time on everything too, so.

Um, I like to say always remind us that sports is best live and we want two day delivery from Amazon and we, we want everything right away because that’s when we need it. So, um, and that, that’s our job is to get the data, which is the video into Colin and his team’s hands sooner than anybody else so that they can do what they do.

But, um, yeah, man, I, Colin, really, I just wanna say on this podcast too, while I have you here, you know, thank you for believing in all the things that you do. And I think the key word there is trust. Um, you know it, or as long as you’re a [00:27:00] trustworthy person, right? People will do business with you. And I think your business is the same way.

And, and you guys are based on trust here. And too many times on my sales calls, I, I say, I hear. I use X service. I won’t name a name, and it could be any, uh, you know, it only captures my daughter’s analytics 30% of the time. I have no response. Like it’s, that’s, that’s a hard pill to swallow. So, um, I think we’re, we’re out of time, but I can unpack that and talk to you for 10 hours about the problem behind that statement.

Matt: Well, and, and I don’t want to keep you guys here, uh, super long, but I, I got one last question for you. I mean, we, you know. I, I’ll, I’ll do it through, I’ll do it through the selfish lens. Right. So my oldest daughter, she’s already committed. She’ll be in college next year. Uh, but I gotta, you know, a boy’s about to turn 11, so three, four years he’s gonna be in high school.

He might be looking at, at trying to play in college, capturing video of his games and stuff. We talked about the [00:28:00] evolution of where you guys have been three years ago to today, but. What do you guys have on your roadmap? Where do you see this going? You know, for as things expedite so rapidly and technology keeps changing, what, what can we expect for, for my son when, when he’s ready to, to be, to get getting into this?

Orhan: Colin, I think you 

Matt: go first. Man. I, 

Orhan: I’ve been going first, so 

Colin: please. Oh, good. Yeah. Or Orhan is the dreamer, I must say. He is the dreamer of this. The, some of the conversations we’ve had, uh, some of the long phone calls, it’s a lot of what we can do. Um, look, we obviously won’t go into huge amount of detail on what is possible.

There’s all stuff we need to look into and test and iterate and whatever. Every single idea that Han seems to come up with is about stripping back a kind of a layer and making it that bit more accessible to the end user, that bit more relevant and valuable to the end user. Um, [00:29:00] does, you know, you see, for example, a hundred report that you give you 20, 30 pages, uh, on a team breakdown, a player breakdown, but ultimately for each individual user.

How much of that is actually important? So I think as we move towards nearly personalizing elements of the analytics, I think that’s something that I’m kind of excited about, that goalkeepers don’t want to see shots on target. They don’t want to see, or you know this, they want to see stuff specific to them and even specific to a particular game.

So I believe that one of the things I’m looking forward to is. Given even greater control and power back to ND to really pick what they want to see from particular games and for it to reflect in the, in, in their cost. Do you know? So it’s, um, yeah, there is an awful lot we can do. There really, really is, um, over [00:30:00] 12 months, 24 months, and it’s going to cost orhan a lot of his 3 million that he’d raised to try and keep us on board, which would be board.

But um, yeah, it’s more. It, it’s definitely a case where, um, okay, we’re here now, here’s what we’ve done. What can we add for the, to the end user that will make it more valuable, more relevant, and more efficient? So we’re always looking at what’s the next. Now over to you. Yeah, I was gonna 

Orhan: say, I think you nailed it.

I think for the long-term vision between us, what I will say is focus on the word trust. That becomes the writing on the wall, like Ted Lasso says, believe we have trust on the wall. Um, and because sooner or later, you know, people realize the importance of what that means, data integrity. And when you’re talking about your son or your daughter, um, all and millions of kids that are in those shoes, they’re gonna need that.

If they want to get scouted, they’re gonna need that. And, um, what I mean by that [00:31:00] also then is freedom of choice. That’s the, that’s the next thing. Freedom of choice, that you can pick any analytics service. Not because someone paid money to your association, your league, whatever it is, and became the, you know, go-to market choice for that reason.

Not because your club made some decision based on their needs, but anyone can make that decision. Like Colin said earlier, I’m a parent, I’m a goalkeeper coach, or I’m Matt, my son plays in position and I want the analytics. For him. Therefore, I’m gonna go and get it because I can do that. No one’s holding me back from it.

I have the freedom of choice to go and get my analytics service from anywhere, and that’s what replay does. We open the ecosystem, you can, you can capture your content and that’s yours. You’re the talent, you’re the owner of the footage just like any other talent is. And you can take that anywhere and get what you need and we will create that opportunity for you.

The next thing I want to say, this is big and you know, I haven’t publicly announced this, and I’ll say it [00:32:00] here for the first time. Um, is, uh, breaking news. All right. 

Colin: Yay. 

Orhan: Our, our 20

Colin is giving us 3 million.

It’s, it, it’s even better than that. No money could replace this, really truthfully. Our 2030 goal as a company for replay. We wanna help reduce or eliminate pay to play in the United States. And people listening to this will cackle. They will laugh or raise an eyebrow and say, how the F are you gonna do such a thing?

Everyone and their mother on X, on any forum, on any podcast, or for as long as I can remember, talks about how this is such BS and I hate it. And this angle and that angle. You know what I compare to and with all [00:33:00] due respect, my neighbor’s house is burning and, and all the other neighbors are like, my neighbor’s house is burning.

They just keep saying that. No one calls the fire department. Well, we are gonna be the fire department and we’ve been piloting something for the last six to eight months and we see light at the end of the tunnel. Stay tuned for more. We will share more, but this will be a collective effort. Replay is a for-profit company.

Yes, but this is our market. When your kids put on those cleats and step on that grass and play their heart out, we all have a job. Matt has a podcast because of your kids. I. The cameras we do and the software we do because of those kids stepping on the pitch. So does Colin and every coach and every league, you know, president and so on and so forth.

This market is bigger than N-F-L-N-B-A-M-L-B-M-L-S, English Premier League combined just in the United States. I’m talking about the youth sports market. Go and look it [00:34:00] up. It’s a disgrace that we depend on. Two revenue streams, parents pockets. Travel costs basically, and club fees. That’s it. Travel costs and club fees.

That’s the best we can do is 2025. Well, we’re gonna change that. We’re seeing light at the end of the tunnel. And, uh, Colin is part of, you know, this, this big mission, but replay is also on the monetization side, doing some very, very cool things. So if you wanna be a part of it, check out our site, check, go on the mission tab, read that, and then.

We’ll probably make an announcement sometime in the next couple of weeks. 

Matt: All right, well, you heard it here first. Uh, we’ll get the more details as they come, but, uh, excited and hey, I just wanna thank both of you for, for jumping on for what you guys do. Uh, you know, I, I’m the, the, the Scrappy, upstart, uh, podcast here just as you guys are.

Your, the scrappy, uh, upstart startups fight, fighting the man. And, and, [00:35:00] but I’m excited to see what, what the partnership brings the. Seeing more red cameras on the sidelines, uh, than I do now, and, uh, and seeing more data on people’s phones for and, and seeing what’s going on. So excited for what’s to come.

Thank you, gentlemen. And, and, uh, so I guess I’m in the middle, so you guys just have to fly to Florida for that beer. All right. And I’ll buy. All right. Happy days. 

Colin: Happy 

Matt: days. 

Colin: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, now it’s probably closer to go to The Bahamas maybe. Is it? That’s probably more halfway. Yeah. 

Matt: Well. Okay, fine. All right.

Thanks guys. Take care. All the best. 

Colin: Cheer. Thanks, Matt. Thank you. Yeah.
