Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to Upon Gaine Presents. Taylor Scouting coach Randy Taylor
is bringing his forty plus years of knowledge to you.
This is Taylor Scouting and now here's coach Randy Taylor.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hey, folks, welcome to LeVar Arrington's Up on Game Network
hosting the Taylor Scouting Podcast. You know, you can find
the up on Game Network anywhere you find podcasts and
on YouTube and all social media outlets, right. And so
what we're gonna do today is we're going to talk
(00:40):
about an unbelievable company that I found in my travels
and research and the best way to evaluate a college
football prospect. I ran across a company called Snipback. Snip
Back it's a film amplifying an editing group is basically
I think how they describe it, and when I we
(01:00):
get with Ryan here, he can make sure that that's
that's correct. So today I'm the Taylor Scouting Podcast. We're
going to learn about snip Back and how they are becoming,
in my mind, a powerhouse in sports video. We're joined
by Ryan Trevithik of Snipback. Welcome, Ryan, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I appreciate it. I appreciate you having me. Brandy I'm
doing wonderful.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Coach good good. So tell us about yourself and snip back,
and if you want to do any kind of sharing
some your screen or a PowerPoint, anything that can help
us understand the power of snip back.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Absolutely, snipback is definitely a product in a software that
I'm very passionate about because very mostly a lot of
your followers and a lot of your listeners here and viewers.
I'm a coach myself, so I've been coaching basketball everything
from the youth levels up to semipro levels and making
sure that us had a couple of stops again CBA
(02:01):
level and film is one of the biggest teaching opportunities
that you can have with your athletes. And so currently
I'm a high school varsity basketball coach and soccer coach
as well as a club coach, and I ran across
snit back in my journeys as well coach, trying to
find a system that allowed me to do unlimited film
as well as capture key moments in time that allowed
(02:24):
me to really kind of teach the game at a
higher level. The film systems that I had in place
with my previous positions, we always had to wait twenty
four hours, had to wait eighteen hours to get that
film back, get an indexed, get it statted out, and
to me, the teaching window is gone at that point
in time. Now it's an asynchronous teaching tool at that point,
(02:46):
because I'm not with that athlete, I'm not able to
show them right in the space. So I was running
out of storage in the previous company that I had,
and so I started finding. Someone came across Snitmack. So
what snitback really is, coach, is what you lane. It's
film amplified. Every company out there does an incredible job,
and Snit Back is I feel like on par with
those companies. And what they do is they provide coaches
(03:10):
and athletes a tool to be able to present information
or present video, or present themselves for a purpose or
a mission down the road, whether it's be get my
film out there for exposure, get my film on I
take to teach and enhance and expect the growth. But
for us, we didn't want it to be just one
or the other. We wanted to make it all encompassing.
(03:31):
We wanted to make it a Swiss Army knife of
tools for coaches because time is everything, especially at the
high school and collegiate levels. The higher level you go,
that emphasis is definitely on winning. So the faster you
can get your athletes to a higher optimal performance level,
the more efficient they are, the better shot is that
(03:51):
you have your job at the end of the season.
And so at the grassroots level and the high school level,
it's less about that winning aspect, is more about the
experience and helping athletes find that that grou find that
lesson that they need to be taught and then be
able to reinforce it as they grow into where their
ultimate goals are. Because, as you know, not every athlete's
going to want to play college athletics. So I'm just
(04:14):
going to show you real quick. So snit back with
snippack is is a multi platform opportunity. And so snitback
provides both an iOS platform on an iPad and iPhone
as well as an Android with any of the Android devices,
but as well as an Internet and a web based version.
And so what you guys see on your screen right
here as just some of the key features that snitback provides,
(04:37):
and you guys will probably see similar features and your
current film providers for those that are are looking in
wondering if snit back can help. Snit back can help,
it can supplement, it can replace, But whatever you're currently at,
where whatever you're currently doing, there's a high probability that
we can help assist in some way, shape or form.
So ultimately, the one feature that a lot of our
(05:00):
coaches that are using this as we're starting to grow
not just in sports specific across the board in athletics,
but we're talking about football today. One of the areas
that football is growing exponentially is what we call is
live coding. It's the live clipping and tagging feature along
with the sideline interaction feature. And so what those players
and coaches are doing is the quarterback makes a read,
(05:22):
he can read off the safety, he makes the wrong
read and makes the wrong progression, throws an interception. Quarterback
comes to the sideline. There's tools out there right now
that they can go and watch it on the monitor
and review it and go and move on about their day.
We also are able to do that. We are able
to give them live video right there when they come
off the field and to be able to evaluate that play.
The difference between us and other providers is that we
(05:44):
offer a multi camera view, so you can put multiple
cameras around the course of the field to get a
better view, to get a better angle, to see whether
it's the read, whether it's the eye, whether it's just
the rotation, whatever it might be on the defense or
the offense. You can make that and you can search
different views synonymously, so you just move from one to
the next. The other side of it is actual live coding,
(06:08):
and so a lot of Division I schools, a lot
of Division two schools at the college level, they're live
coding their games right away. So whether it's a path
to the left or run to the left, incomplete path
and tackle by number forty two, whatever it might be,
they're live voting that because they have a staff that
can actually do all that well. For us, we give
the power to coaches to be able to tag those
(06:30):
key moments that are one hundred percent customizable to those coaches.
And so coach say that, I know you've been coaching
for a long time, like what is your pat peeves
as a coach, Like everyone's got them, everyone's got two
or three probably you know what's one that kind of
drives you kind of crazy that if you could teach
somebody to avoid it, they'd be better off.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well, if you're thinking about the actual fundamentals of an athlete,
you know, a lot of it is bending knees and
sinking hips and doing those kind of things to provide explosion.
If you're talking about in the video world, the angle
of the video, and so depending on what question you're asking,
(07:19):
are you looking for a physical question or you know
what a physical movement is?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, I mean both actually, because like as a coach,
just I mean you gave me two perfect examples, like
I want to check the angle of whether it's my
my end, or it's my running back on pass protection
or something like that, or even if it's leverage for
an out like a defensive back. You can check those
angles on film and then you can teach on those, right,
But those are not things that are statistically captured on
(07:47):
a stat sheet, and those are the things that ultimately
get missed because when we go to teach, we typically
go to the statue and say, show me the tackles
or the mistackles, or the interceptions or the turnovers, whatever
it might be. But you miss the actual fundamental level
of teaching the things that we spend eighty percent of
our time practicing the fundamentals on aren't things that are
(08:10):
really showing up in statutes, And so the examples that
you just gave me are perfect. Like want how to
be an athlete too, We've been working on our first
you know, our agility and our first step and our technique,
and then we can teach that. That's what this live
clipping and tagging is. Right here, I'm able to do
this well at plays going on, So in theory, okay,
and I'll show you an example here in a second
(08:31):
of an actual live game. I think that might help
your viewers and your followers that are following along here.
But like, if there's a play that I want to
teach on a moment right then and there that I know,
if I can help that kid figure that out, the
next forty minutes of football is going to be a
whole lot more enjoyable. And if I can do it
right then in the first quarter, it's going to be
advantageous to us. I can clip it, I can tag it,
(08:52):
and then I can pull them to the sideline and
then I can actually live whiteboard on that video. So
that's kind of the power of the the tool in
the actual game itself, and where we're finding football teams
across the country are really starting to enjoy this product
because it isn't a It isn't necessarily just a stack company.
(09:13):
Isn't just necessarily a film company or a highlight company. Yes,
we can do all those things. We can even stream
the games if you want to, but it really is
the ability to teach, and for coaches, it's a very
very powerful teaching tool. So I wanted to let me
ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
So, if I'm standing on the sideline of a football
game and I've got a guy right next to me
with an iPad, you know, or a whatever iPhone, whatever
it is, he can be videotaping and I can look
at that or have a player come off the field
and show that to him immediately.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, so it's actually, yeah, you can do it. So
you have like, let's just say this is my so
I've got my press box up here, and then we're
on the field. Well, you can have an iPad and
whatever you actually snit that you want to teach on
doesn't go It goes from the press box camera down
to the field level. You could have one in the
corners of the field and you can capture at that
(10:16):
moment as well multi viewing possibilities. The difference between us
and other film providers because we know there's other film
providers out there that do this. Like the one thing
that's different is that there's no additional equipment necessary to
do that. It's all built inside the software in the
coding of the application. We don't need to set up
any radio towers, we don't need to set up any connections.
(10:36):
We just need to make sure that we're on one
singular network, which typically most schools nowadays have a singular
Wi Fi connection. If not, you can create one very
simply with a hotspot and an amplify if you want it.
But that's the best part about our system is it
takes me all of five minutes total to set up
my entire field and all I have to do is
walk from the press box down to the sidewink. Like
(10:59):
that's the best part about setting up for my games
right now. It saves me time and that's the number
one feature again that our coaches are loving about our
product and they're able now. We do have some colleges
that are currently using in I won't mention them just
for the respect out of them, but we can talk
about it all there if you want to. But those
colleges are using it for their quarterback rooms, then their
(11:19):
athletes are craving the teaching that they're getting out of it.
So they make a couple of throws, get a couple reps,
and then they've got seven eight quarterbacks on roster. They've
got to wait a couple turns before they get back in,
so they go right to the iPad and they watch
their three four reps, make their adjustments, and move on
to the next time it's their time to rep. They
get ready to go. So it's pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
So I got excited about the value of this for
practices as well, and for any sport, wouldn't that be right?
I mean, if I'm got a swimmer, I can in
a practice, can just take my iPhone and videotape this
guy because I've got this software swimming.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
But in.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Football, only one or two quarterbacks may play in a game.
Uh so the third string guy needs to see himself
in reps too, And that's where you can get it
in practice just by having somebody with your quarterback coach
right could be the.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Manager one hundred percent, And that's where the unlimited film
comes in because I will stay in the sports of basketball,
and it's like that, like we filmed every practice, every workout,
every training session, every game, and we have scout film
on top of that. If you did that in football,
your storage would go through the roof very quickly, and
so it's hard to do that. So you got to
pick and choose your battles. Well. If you see here,
(12:37):
this is our game processing on the line on the website,
it's very similar to the application. We have our game list,
which these are all the different games. And this is
one of our clients that has permission to use their
film for all demos and videos, and then they have
practice film in here, and then they have scout film
that if they have any scouts that they want to watch,
they go ahead and they pop them into this area here.
We do this on the basketball side a lot, okay,
(12:58):
and he shared with me film. So anybody that wants
to share film internally from snip back to snipback, simple
film exchange. You can control how much they see if
they just see the video, or you can actually send
an actual playbook, a scout everything broken down clips. We
call them snipreels, which are individual clips on a playlist.
You guys may know them better as playlists. We call
(13:19):
them snipreels. You can sit shin summers as well. Then
public film, and then we also have stat reports where
we have a fully functional stat system as well for
the sports basketball, volleyball, football, baseball, soccer, any sport pretty
much as in the majors, and then any scholastic sports.
We just picked a water polo. Not sure how many
water polo people are watching today. What it's you know,
(13:41):
there's there's opportunities there. But when film is involved, snit
back is a very powerful tool. And so a couple
of things that I want to kind of show up
here in showcases. We're just going to go into the
video player and I want to show you guys a
little bit about the power of everything that we can
do from a snipback side. So the video player is
very simple, very easy to break down everything. So when
(14:03):
we go into a video, you're going to see two
or three different categories. And I want to make sure
that we're clear on this is you have my snips.
So this is what we call the coding. If you're
going to code and tag something, we call it a snip,
the very quick snip. It's a ten second clip, fifteen
second clip of an individual play. You have my snips
which are created by the user, so it's your they've
tied to your personal account, the coach Taylor. If you're
(14:25):
tagging those angles and you're tagging, you see a kid
that's off balance and you want to tag it, you
can see it. I cannot. But if it's something that
you want me to see, you're going to go to
your staff snips, and then if you're doing the stats,
you're going to go to the stat snips and it
breaks down everything categorically with that snid, and that's what's
really powerful. So if we want to look here, the
nice thing is now we can filter it. I go
(14:46):
to filter and I can just go to let's just
let's take a look at all the touchdowns. I can
hit touchdowns. I filter that out and then all I
have to do is go here and I can click
on that. I can click on that play. Make said
this is actually seen this one in a bit, So
make sure that Jacob mars this is one of the plays.
Because we see here this is a very simple you know,
(15:07):
press box view. We can see that. So we can
pause it, we can slow it down, and we can
zoom in if we need to. We can see all
that goes through. So that's the view there. Now, if
I want to switch that view and I want to
go to the south end zone view, I go over
to the south end zone view and the same clip,
the same timeframe, everything. It's again, this is all cloud based,
so you can pull it from anywhere, same thing, same view.
(15:31):
We can slow it down. And then if I want
to actually draw on this, if I want a whiteboard,
I hit this button right here. So this is where again,
if we're whiteboard and we're seeing this, we can't do
it in the full we're seeing here. We got our
linebacker right here. Okay, we got our leverage. We want
to make sure that we get inside leverage here. Okay,
if this play is going to go up the middle
(15:53):
to stop it, Okay, we've got holes right here. We
got lines right here. Obviously we can see that our
offensive line is pushing this away from teaching the defensive side,
you can teach again coaching ability for you as a coach,
not me as as the basketball coach trying to talk about.
Go we want to throw some basketball and here. We
can do that. However, you can see here just by
switching the camera views very easily. I'm still whiteboarding, I'm
(16:14):
still teaching, and I can do this on the sideline
when the game is going on. I don't have to
do it after the fact. Again, as the play comes through,
we can see the leverage right here. We can see
the angles. As the play goes comes through, we can
see that touched on it. That's simple play. We can
move to the next one. We can continue to do
the next so as we're teaching, coach, as we're teaching,
(16:34):
we can go through all these clips for specific reasons.
We can go through each one. We can make sure
that we're doing our due diligence as coaches after the fact,
and then we can teach directly. So my screen is
actually recording, but since ron zumis recording, it's not gonna
llow me to do both. But what it does it
allows me to create an audio with the screen recording
of what I'm doing. And then when I hit the
(16:55):
stop button, it's going to ask me to save. And
when I hit save for my video, I can share
that individual clip with that player. I can share that
individual clip with that coach, and so for me, I
might be working at home. It's called again asynchronous teaching.
I might be working in my office. You might be
at your office. We aren't in the same room. But
I see something, I can send it to you very
(17:17):
easily through the system and then you can, you know,
rebuttle it back. White brought it back to me, and
so I think we should do this and it helps
speed up the teaching crossings.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's, uh, that's the snip part, right. I kind of
figured that out that you're clipping or snipping these things
to to exactly where you want to start and finish
a play. Now at the end, zone film or the
other different uh angles, can all of those zoom as well?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yeah, they can all zoom in as well, you know
at the end of the day, like you can. They're
unmanned cameras. I mean that's the one thing. Remember, like
in high school, we don't have massive staff. We don't
have you know, three and four managers that can manage
cameras and sideline stuff. So it's really trying to alleviate
the stress of having these that have to have jobs
like that and putting those coaches and those managers back
(18:07):
on the sideline with the syncrenous teaching, which is that
one on one teaching element, you know, take the camera
out of their hand, get a camera up, walk away
and do that, and you can control how far those
cameras zoom from a remote. The iPad doubles as a remote.
You can zoom every camera in the whole weight length
of the fields and them out all that stuff. So
it just depends. Now we film everything. One of the
(18:29):
questions we get a lot of is what kind of
hardware is required to film? All it is is an
iOS or Android device, and as you know, some of
the most powerful cameras in the world are in our pockets,
and so we don't we don't need go pros, We
don't partner up with any of that stuff. Just literally
it's an iPad and iPhone. We use iPhone twelves for
ours because they have the widelines so it gets more
(18:49):
of the field.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
So I'm at I'm at my Lineman camp right or competition.
We're five on five competition, just like seven on seven,
and I I have my iPad or my iPhone in
my pocket, and I decide I want to video the
wide receivers or the whole thing. Or however I want
(19:11):
to teach or learn, I can do that with my iPhone. Now,
if there's a parent there or an assistant coach or
somebody that I can say, hey, will you videotape him personally,
and then he can send that here or so he
can send that to me and then I can put
it into the system.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah. Absolutely, so yeah, so you actually can. One of
the nice things about it is if you're not live coding,
if you're not actually tagging right there on the spot,
you can upload that video at any time. The best
part about using iOS devices and Android devices in our
software is built in is that there's a time stamp
on every video, and so your phone has a time
(19:54):
stand to a satellite and so when you upload that video,
it can sync up with other videos and that's kind
of a nice part. You know, whether it's my camera,
whether it's your camera, and we go to film that
five on five, you may see something you want to
teach on it, but you just don't have the time
in that moment to teach on it. You just film it,
you snip it. It's very similar to like an ODK
(20:15):
with other systems, you can accept you label it the
way you want to label it. You don't have to
label it ODK. You can label it five on five.
It can be inside run, it can be you know, leverage,
whatever it might be that you're teaching. And then when
you go back into your film afterwards, all those things
that you saw, those snips at the bottom, all those
individual sniffs are timestamps with important information that you you
(20:36):
snipped out for teaching.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So in football, obviously recruiting in all sports, but in football,
players are creating their own highlight videos, and so the
coaches or whoever's in charge of videotaping the game and
using the different iPhones and whatever they might device they
(20:58):
might use. How does an athlete then create his own
recruiting page.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yeah, so it's that's a great question. That's one of
the best things that we're coming out with. You know,
one of the things that when we first developed snit back.
So snitback technology has been around for nine years. We've
just gotten into the athletics and the high school scholastic
side in the last calendar like almost two years now,
and so football has really been big push. But we
(21:28):
didn't really release it until September of last year, so
we were a little bit behind in the sport of football.
So one of the things that's coming out with is
the individual players channels. And so as an individual player,
I'm tied to individual games, I'm tied to individual things
that I can create a channel that looks and feels
very much like a YouTube channel. And so if I
actually go to if I went to snitback dot com,
(21:51):
which I'll let me, let me pull this up and
I'll show you. As I pull this up, you can
see what's called a grid view. This looks like a
YouTube page, and so you can see all the different channels.
So any film that I have as an individual, they
will be listed in here, and then you'll be able
to search. As a college coach, you'll be able to
search me by my name, or if you're recruiting me,
(22:14):
I can actually add you. You can be added as
a follower to my channel. And so when I have
a game, you can you can watch that game live
as a recruiter. Because again, a lot of colleges across
the country have a lot of big budgets to be
able to go recruiting, but to send somebody out every
Friday night across the country is extremely cost It's not
cost efficient, it's detrimental to the budget. So if they
(22:36):
can be a part of that channel, they can watch
it live, they can watch the feedback, they can you know,
watch everything and see what they want to see, and
then they can also snip plays. So if I'm an
assistant coach and my job is to go find the
next best running back, and I see a couple of
things that are running backs to do, that are going
to absolutely help us if he comes in as a freshman,
I'm going to snip those right then and there and
(22:57):
send those clips to my hest or to the the
head coach and say, hey, I think I found the guy.
Like I'm going to get the full film, but here's
a couple of his clips, and it just helps with
that recruiting and it gives the kids the advantage. Seven
on seven is a perfect example of this. So we
actually worked with a very large seven on seven company
(23:17):
here in Michigan where I'm based out. And one of
the things that we ran into is colleges were watching
the games on the sideline and so the guys were watching,
they're recruiting these they were out there trying to find
the next dude, right, and so they were actually able
to open the app up, and they were able to
snit clips of plays that they liked from players that
they were watching live. And so they're sitting there on
(23:39):
the sidelines and again all the cameras are up and
basically they play happens they hit a single button. At
that single push of the button, they captured that clip
back in time. So when they go back to their
war room, when they go back to figure out who
they got to recruit, they go back and review each
one of those snips, because clearly, in the moment they
meant something. And by time I got home, if I
(23:59):
don't write that timestamp down, or if I don't, you know,
remember that kid perfectly, which who knows how many phone
calls I have between the time that game happened. When
I get back to my office, I'm going to forget
when it was. But using snit back, I got that
clip right then and there I get back to my office,
I can call the kid and be like, hey, I
really liked how you you ran your route. I really
thought that you did really go to coverage. I bet
your positioning was incredible. I thought you were reading whatever
(24:21):
it might be. And now that kid actually knows you're
vested in their recruitment because you're not just sending crap
to them, you're actually sending them like thoughts on the
reviews of the actual plays and specifics.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
So if I'm the assistant coach and I'm watching it
whatever it is, seven on seven, five on five, whatever
the heck I'm watching, and I or even at a camp,
and I want my head coach to see a couple
of these clips, and he's on the other field or
not even in town, that clip I can then send
(24:53):
to him.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Yeah, so it's called the staff snip, and so I
snip it from my account. But if you're in our
staff group, then you just go in and you look
at it and you don't even need to be present
to see it.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
And then so he's gonna then say, the head coach
is going to tell me, Hey, tell that high school
coach that we're offering his guy or scholarship. That's pretty
powerful to happen instantly like that.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean you're right, that's where we're seeing
a huge advantage in the sport of basketball with that.
I think football, once football stees the power of that,
I think they're gonna people are going to want to
take advantage of that feature. So basketball coach is already
doing it, so I can tell you right now, it's
already a thing in college athletics. It's only a matter
(25:41):
of time before the football guys realize like, oh man,
like we can be in more than one place at once.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Like that's a powerful thing because because he's also then
seeing his arm length and height and body type and everything.
So he's got that view that he can then tell
the coach and show them a couple of the clips
and yeah he is really six ' three blah blah blah. Yeah,
coach offer, and this is unbelieving. I love this.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah. The the and the one thing that there's a stigma,
right like if I'm a college coach, like I'm I'm
watching and recruiting a kid, I'm not doing this, like
I'm not out there filming right that. I mean, I
was a college coach, Like I can tell you right now,
I've ever pulled my phone out and started recording a kid,
even if I loved him, if I thought they were amazing.
I'm not recording a kid. But if I have an
app open on my phone or I have an app
(26:28):
on my watch, and every time I see something, I
just hit that button. It's very like very I don't know, private,
it's not incognito, and so like, it's not not very invasive,
like the kid doesn't even know that I'm doing anything,
knowing none of my competitors know what I'm doing, you know.
It's just it's a very easy way for me to
get footage of a kid, and it's not it's not
(26:51):
very hard at all because it's literally an app on
your phone.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
So these days, college coaches are walking out there with
their iPhone and video taping the kid at the seven
on seven or the five on five or the camp
or whatever the heck it might be. And so a
lot of these schools host camps where fifty other schools attend,
and they're going to shoot that video with their iPhone
(27:15):
and then be able to send that to that head coach.
So that, to me, this is an unbelievable where we
used to just have to take the video and then
send it or show it to the coach, you know,
down next week or tomorrow when we're in the office.
This is instantaneous. Yeah, yeah, I love this. This can
(27:38):
also be attached to your Twitter page or x now, right,
So if I have an X page, I can put
the link to the snipback clip or video or game
on my Twitter page X page.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah. That's that's one of the best parts about our system,
as our developers and coders have designed it every video
to actually be tied to a URL. And so because
that it's a link and it's not a hardwired embedded video,
you can put as long of a video or on
Instagram or your you know, any other social media page
that you have because it's a link instead of an
(28:17):
actual video.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
So one more thing with this recruiting video and the
individual athlete you said, it's just like a how or
not how, but actually YouTube page, right, and so he
can include his contact information, his jersey number, his GPA.
Can they attach other things? Would I be able to
(28:41):
attach a transcript to this?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah? So, like eventually when those pages do come off
for launch, because right now we are in the beta
version of personal pages. We have team pages, but not
necessarily the personal player pages yet, but all of your
highlight films you can customize with all of that information.
So when an athlete goes in and puts a high
like film together of all of their snips, what they
can do is they can put all their contact information,
(29:05):
their player information, they can put their school information, whoever
they need to contact, all that and then when they
get the page, they're actual personal page that's coming out
once that launches, will be able to attach their transcripts,
they'll be able to tansk their videos or your alcoholic.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And they can make that private to the college coaches
or is that possible?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, yeah, you protect your content. So we put it
as what we call as a follower, so you have
ultimate approval who follows you. It's more of a subscription based,
but there's just no payment to it. But it's just
a hey, like here's my page. Oh hey, coach Ryan
wants to follow you. I've got to approve that to
make sure that it's something that I want some to
Welcome to Upon Gaine Presents. Taylor Scouting coach Randy Taylor
is bringing his forty plus years of knowledge to you.
This is Taylor Scouting and now here's coach Randy Taylor.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hey, folks, welcome to LeVar Arrington's Up on Game Network
hosting the Taylor Scouting Podcast. You know, you can find
the up on Game Network anywhere you find podcasts and
on YouTube and all social media outlets, right. And so
what we're gonna do today is we're going to talk
(00:40):
about an unbelievable company that I found in my travels
and research and the best way to evaluate a college
football prospect. I ran across a company called Snipback. Snip
Back it's a film amplifying an editing group is basically
I think how they describe it, and when I we
(01:00):
get with Ryan here, he can make sure that that's
that's correct. So today I'm the Taylor Scouting Podcast. We're
going to learn about snip Back and how they are becoming,
in my mind, a powerhouse in sports video. We're joined
by Ryan Trevithik of Snipback. Welcome, Ryan, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I appreciate it. I appreciate you having me. Brandy I'm
doing wonderful.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Coach good good. So tell us about yourself and snip back,
and if you want to do any kind of sharing
some your screen or a PowerPoint, anything that can help
us understand the power of snip back.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Absolutely, snipback is definitely a product in a software that
I'm very passionate about because very mostly a lot of
your followers and a lot of your listeners here and viewers.
I'm a coach myself, so I've been coaching basketball everything
from the youth levels up to semipro levels and making
sure that us had a couple of stops again CBA
(02:01):
level and film is one of the biggest teaching opportunities
that you can have with your athletes. And so currently
I'm a high school varsity basketball coach and soccer coach
as well as a club coach, and I ran across
snit back in my journeys as well coach, trying to
find a system that allowed me to do unlimited film
as well as capture key moments in time that allowed
(02:24):
me to really kind of teach the game at a
higher level. The film systems that I had in place
with my previous positions, we always had to wait twenty
four hours, had to wait eighteen hours to get that
film back, get an indexed, get it statted out, and
to me, the teaching window is gone at that point
in time. Now it's an asynchronous teaching tool at that point,
(02:46):
because I'm not with that athlete, I'm not able to
show them right in the space. So I was running
out of storage in the previous company that I had,
and so I started finding. Someone came across Snitmack. So
what snitback really is, coach, is what you lane. It's
film amplified. Every company out there does an incredible job,
and Snit Back is I feel like on par with
those companies. And what they do is they provide coaches
(03:10):
and athletes a tool to be able to present information
or present video, or present themselves for a purpose or
a mission down the road, whether it's be get my
film out there for exposure, get my film on I
take to teach and enhance and expect the growth. But
for us, we didn't want it to be just one
or the other. We wanted to make it all encompassing.
(03:31):
We wanted to make it a Swiss Army knife of
tools for coaches because time is everything, especially at the
high school and collegiate levels. The higher level you go,
that emphasis is definitely on winning. So the faster you
can get your athletes to a higher optimal performance level,
the more efficient they are, the better shot is that
(03:51):
you have your job at the end of the season.
And so at the grassroots level and the high school level,
it's less about that winning aspect, is more about the
experience and helping athletes find that that grou find that
lesson that they need to be taught and then be
able to reinforce it as they grow into where their
ultimate goals are. Because, as you know, not every athlete's
going to want to play college athletics. So I'm just
(04:14):
going to show you real quick. So snit back with
snippack is is a multi platform opportunity. And so snitback
provides both an iOS platform on an iPad and iPhone
as well as an Android with any of the Android devices,
but as well as an Internet and a web based version.
And so what you guys see on your screen right
here as just some of the key features that snitback provides,
(04:37):
and you guys will probably see similar features and your
current film providers for those that are are looking in
wondering if snit back can help. Snit back can help,
it can supplement, it can replace, But whatever you're currently at,
where whatever you're currently doing, there's a high probability that
we can help assist in some way, shape or form.
So ultimately, the one feature that a lot of our
(05:00):
coaches that are using this as we're starting to grow
not just in sports specific across the board in athletics,
but we're talking about football today. One of the areas
that football is growing exponentially is what we call is
live coding. It's the live clipping and tagging feature along
with the sideline interaction feature. And so what those players
and coaches are doing is the quarterback makes a read,
(05:22):
he can read off the safety, he makes the wrong
read and makes the wrong progression, throws an interception. Quarterback
comes to the sideline. There's tools out there right now
that they can go and watch it on the monitor
and review it and go and move on about their day.
We also are able to do that. We are able
to give them live video right there when they come
off the field and to be able to evaluate that play.
The difference between us and other providers is that we
(05:44):
offer a multi camera view, so you can put multiple
cameras around the course of the field to get a
better view, to get a better angle, to see whether
it's the read, whether it's the eye, whether it's just
the rotation, whatever it might be on the defense or
the offense. You can make that and you can search
different views synonymously, so you just move from one to
the next. The other side of it is actual live coding,
(06:08):
and so a lot of Division I schools, a lot
of Division two schools at the college level, they're live
coding their games right away. So whether it's a path
to the left or run to the left, incomplete path
and tackle by number forty two, whatever it might be,
they're live voting that because they have a staff that
can actually do all that well. For us, we give
the power to coaches to be able to tag those
(06:30):
key moments that are one hundred percent customizable to those coaches.
And so coach say that, I know you've been coaching
for a long time, like what is your pat peeves
as a coach, Like everyone's got them, everyone's got two
or three probably you know what's one that kind of
drives you kind of crazy that if you could teach
somebody to avoid it, they'd be better off.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well, if you're thinking about the actual fundamentals of an athlete,
you know, a lot of it is bending knees and
sinking hips and doing those kind of things to provide explosion.
If you're talking about in the video world, the angle
of the video, and so depending on what question you're asking,
(07:19):
are you looking for a physical question or you know
what a physical movement is?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, I mean both actually, because like as a coach,
just I mean you gave me two perfect examples, like
I want to check the angle of whether it's my
my end, or it's my running back on pass protection
or something like that, or even if it's leverage for
an out like a defensive back. You can check those
angles on film and then you can teach on those, right,
But those are not things that are statistically captured on
(07:47):
a stat sheet, and those are the things that ultimately
get missed because when we go to teach, we typically
go to the statue and say, show me the tackles
or the mistackles, or the interceptions or the turnovers, whatever
it might be. But you miss the actual fundamental level
of teaching the things that we spend eighty percent of
our time practicing the fundamentals on aren't things that are
(08:10):
really showing up in statutes, And so the examples that
you just gave me are perfect. Like want how to
be an athlete too, We've been working on our first
you know, our agility and our first step and our technique,
and then we can teach that. That's what this live
clipping and tagging is. Right here, I'm able to do
this well at plays going on, So in theory, okay,
and I'll show you an example here in a second
(08:31):
of an actual live game. I think that might help
your viewers and your followers that are following along here.
But like, if there's a play that I want to
teach on a moment right then and there that I know,
if I can help that kid figure that out, the
next forty minutes of football is going to be a
whole lot more enjoyable. And if I can do it
right then in the first quarter, it's going to be
advantageous to us. I can clip it, I can tag it,
(08:52):
and then I can pull them to the sideline and
then I can actually live whiteboard on that video. So
that's kind of the power of the the tool in
the actual game itself, and where we're finding football teams
across the country are really starting to enjoy this product
because it isn't a It isn't necessarily just a stack company.
(09:13):
Isn't just necessarily a film company or a highlight company. Yes,
we can do all those things. We can even stream
the games if you want to, but it really is
the ability to teach, and for coaches, it's a very
very powerful teaching tool. So I wanted to let me
ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
So, if I'm standing on the sideline of a football
game and I've got a guy right next to me
with an iPad, you know, or a whatever iPhone, whatever
it is, he can be videotaping and I can look
at that or have a player come off the field
and show that to him immediately.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, so it's actually, yeah, you can do it. So
you have like, let's just say this is my so
I've got my press box up here, and then we're
on the field. Well, you can have an iPad and
whatever you actually snit that you want to teach on
doesn't go It goes from the press box camera down
to the field level. You could have one in the
corners of the field and you can capture at that
(10:16):
moment as well multi viewing possibilities. The difference between us
and other film providers because we know there's other film
providers out there that do this. Like the one thing
that's different is that there's no additional equipment necessary to
do that. It's all built inside the software in the
coding of the application. We don't need to set up
any radio towers, we don't need to set up any connections.
(10:36):
We just need to make sure that we're on one
singular network, which typically most schools nowadays have a singular
Wi Fi connection. If not, you can create one very
simply with a hotspot and an amplify if you want it.
But that's the best part about our system is it
takes me all of five minutes total to set up
my entire field and all I have to do is
walk from the press box down to the sidewink. Like
(10:59):
that's the best part about setting up for my games
right now. It saves me time and that's the number
one feature again that our coaches are loving about our
product and they're able now. We do have some colleges
that are currently using in I won't mention them just
for the respect out of them, but we can talk
about it all there if you want to. But those
colleges are using it for their quarterback rooms, then their
(11:19):
athletes are craving the teaching that they're getting out of it.
So they make a couple of throws, get a couple reps,
and then they've got seven eight quarterbacks on roster. They've
got to wait a couple turns before they get back in,
so they go right to the iPad and they watch
their three four reps, make their adjustments, and move on
to the next time it's their time to rep. They
get ready to go. So it's pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
So I got excited about the value of this for
practices as well, and for any sport, wouldn't that be right?
I mean, if I'm got a swimmer, I can in
a practice, can just take my iPhone and videotape this
guy because I've got this software swimming.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
But in.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Football, only one or two quarterbacks may play in a game.
Uh so the third string guy needs to see himself
in reps too, And that's where you can get it
in practice just by having somebody with your quarterback coach
right could be the.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Manager one hundred percent, And that's where the unlimited film
comes in because I will stay in the sports of basketball,
and it's like that, like we filmed every practice, every workout,
every training session, every game, and we have scout film
on top of that. If you did that in football,
your storage would go through the roof very quickly, and
so it's hard to do that. So you got to
pick and choose your battles. Well. If you see here,
(12:37):
this is our game processing on the line on the website,
it's very similar to the application. We have our game list,
which these are all the different games. And this is
one of our clients that has permission to use their
film for all demos and videos, and then they have
practice film in here, and then they have scout film
that if they have any scouts that they want to watch,
they go ahead and they pop them into this area here.
We do this on the basketball side a lot, okay,
(12:58):
and he shared with me film. So anybody that wants
to share film internally from snip back to snipback, simple
film exchange. You can control how much they see if
they just see the video, or you can actually send
an actual playbook, a scout everything broken down clips. We
call them snipreels, which are individual clips on a playlist.
You guys may know them better as playlists. We call
(13:19):
them snipreels. You can sit shin summers as well. Then
public film, and then we also have stat reports where
we have a fully functional stat system as well for
the sports basketball, volleyball, football, baseball, soccer, any sport pretty
much as in the majors, and then any scholastic sports.
We just picked a water polo. Not sure how many
water polo people are watching today. What it's you know,
(13:41):
there's there's opportunities there. But when film is involved, snit
back is a very powerful tool. And so a couple
of things that I want to kind of show up
here in showcases. We're just going to go into the
video player and I want to show you guys a
little bit about the power of everything that we can
do from a snipback side. So the video player is
very simple, very easy to break down everything. So when
(14:03):
we go into a video, you're going to see two
or three different categories. And I want to make sure
that we're clear on this is you have my snips.
So this is what we call the coding. If you're
going to code and tag something, we call it a snip,
the very quick snip. It's a ten second clip, fifteen
second clip of an individual play. You have my snips
which are created by the user, so it's your they've
tied to your personal account, the coach Taylor. If you're
(14:25):
tagging those angles and you're tagging, you see a kid
that's off balance and you want to tag it, you
can see it. I cannot. But if it's something that
you want me to see, you're going to go to
your staff snips, and then if you're doing the stats,
you're going to go to the stat snips and it
breaks down everything categorically with that snid, and that's what's
really powerful. So if we want to look here, the
nice thing is now we can filter it. I go
(14:46):
to filter and I can just go to let's just
let's take a look at all the touchdowns. I can
hit touchdowns. I filter that out and then all I
have to do is go here and I can click
on that. I can click on that play. Make said
this is actually seen this one in a bit, So
make sure that Jacob mars this is one of the plays.
Because we see here this is a very simple you know,
(15:07):
press box view. We can see that. So we can
pause it, we can slow it down, and we can
zoom in if we need to. We can see all
that goes through. So that's the view there. Now, if
I want to switch that view and I want to
go to the south end zone view, I go over
to the south end zone view and the same clip,
the same timeframe, everything. It's again, this is all cloud based,
so you can pull it from anywhere, same thing, same view.
(15:31):
We can slow it down. And then if I want
to actually draw on this, if I want a whiteboard,
I hit this button right here. So this is where again,
if we're whiteboard and we're seeing this, we can't do
it in the full we're seeing here. We got our
linebacker right here. Okay, we got our leverage. We want
to make sure that we get inside leverage here. Okay,
if this play is going to go up the middle
(15:53):
to stop it, Okay, we've got holes right here. We
got lines right here. Obviously we can see that our
offensive line is pushing this away from teaching the defensive side,
you can teach again coaching ability for you as a coach,
not me as as the basketball coach trying to talk about.
Go we want to throw some basketball and here. We
can do that. However, you can see here just by
switching the camera views very easily. I'm still whiteboarding, I'm
(16:14):
still teaching, and I can do this on the sideline
when the game is going on. I don't have to
do it after the fact. Again, as the play comes through,
we can see the leverage right here. We can see
the angles. As the play goes comes through, we can
see that touched on it. That's simple play. We can
move to the next one. We can continue to do
the next so as we're teaching, coach, as we're teaching,
(16:34):
we can go through all these clips for specific reasons.
We can go through each one. We can make sure
that we're doing our due diligence as coaches after the fact,
and then we can teach directly. So my screen is
actually recording, but since ron zumis recording, it's not gonna
llow me to do both. But what it does it
allows me to create an audio with the screen recording
of what I'm doing. And then when I hit the
(16:55):
stop button, it's going to ask me to save. And
when I hit save for my video, I can share
that individual clip with that player. I can share that
individual clip with that coach, and so for me, I
might be working at home. It's called again asynchronous teaching.
I might be working in my office. You might be
at your office. We aren't in the same room. But
I see something, I can send it to you very
(17:17):
easily through the system and then you can, you know,
rebuttle it back. White brought it back to me, and
so I think we should do this and it helps
speed up the teaching crossings.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's, uh, that's the snip part, right. I kind of
figured that out that you're clipping or snipping these things
to to exactly where you want to start and finish
a play. Now at the end, zone film or the
other different uh angles, can all of those zoom as well?
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yeah, they can all zoom in as well, you know
at the end of the day, like you can. They're
unmanned cameras. I mean that's the one thing. Remember, like
in high school, we don't have massive staff. We don't
have you know, three and four managers that can manage
cameras and sideline stuff. So it's really trying to alleviate
the stress of having these that have to have jobs
like that and putting those coaches and those managers back
(18:07):
on the sideline with the syncrenous teaching, which is that
one on one teaching element, you know, take the camera
out of their hand, get a camera up, walk away
and do that, and you can control how far those
cameras zoom from a remote. The iPad doubles as a remote.
You can zoom every camera in the whole weight length
of the fields and them out all that stuff. So
it just depends. Now we film everything. One of the
(18:29):
questions we get a lot of is what kind of
hardware is required to film? All it is is an
iOS or Android device, and as you know, some of
the most powerful cameras in the world are in our pockets,
and so we don't we don't need go pros, We
don't partner up with any of that stuff. Just literally
it's an iPad and iPhone. We use iPhone twelves for
ours because they have the widelines so it gets more
(18:49):
of the field.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
So I'm at I'm at my Lineman camp right or competition.
We're five on five competition, just like seven on seven,
and I I have my iPad or my iPhone in
my pocket, and I decide I want to video the
wide receivers or the whole thing. Or however I want
(19:11):
to teach or learn, I can do that with my iPhone. Now,
if there's a parent there or an assistant coach or
somebody that I can say, hey, will you videotape him personally,
and then he can send that here or so he
can send that to me and then I can put
it into the system.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah. Absolutely, so yeah, so you actually can. One of
the nice things about it is if you're not live coding,
if you're not actually tagging right there on the spot,
you can upload that video at any time. The best
part about using iOS devices and Android devices in our
software is built in is that there's a time stamp
on every video, and so your phone has a time
(19:54):
stand to a satellite and so when you upload that video,
it can sync up with other videos and that's kind
of a nice part. You know, whether it's my camera,
whether it's your camera, and we go to film that
five on five, you may see something you want to
teach on it, but you just don't have the time
in that moment to teach on it. You just film it,
you snip it. It's very similar to like an ODK
(20:15):
with other systems, you can accept you label it the
way you want to label it. You don't have to
label it ODK. You can label it five on five.
It can be inside run, it can be you know, leverage,
whatever it might be that you're teaching. And then when
you go back into your film afterwards, all those things
that you saw, those snips at the bottom, all those
individual sniffs are timestamps with important information that you you
(20:36):
snipped out for teaching.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So in football, obviously recruiting in all sports, but in football,
players are creating their own highlight videos, and so the
coaches or whoever's in charge of videotaping the game and
using the different iPhones and whatever they might device they
(20:58):
might use. How does an athlete then create his own
recruiting page.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Yeah, so it's that's a great question. That's one of
the best things that we're coming out with. You know,
one of the things that when we first developed snit back.
So snitback technology has been around for nine years. We've
just gotten into the athletics and the high school scholastic
side in the last calendar like almost two years now,
and so football has really been big push. But we
(21:28):
didn't really release it until September of last year, so
we were a little bit behind in the sport of football.
So one of the things that's coming out with is
the individual players channels. And so as an individual player,
I'm tied to individual games, I'm tied to individual things
that I can create a channel that looks and feels
very much like a YouTube channel. And so if I
actually go to if I went to snitback dot com,
(21:51):
which I'll let me, let me pull this up and
I'll show you. As I pull this up, you can
see what's called a grid view. This looks like a
YouTube page, and so you can see all the different channels.
So any film that I have as an individual, they
will be listed in here, and then you'll be able
to search. As a college coach, you'll be able to
search me by my name, or if you're recruiting me,
(22:14):
I can actually add you. You can be added as
a follower to my channel. And so when I have
a game, you can you can watch that game live
as a recruiter. Because again, a lot of colleges across
the country have a lot of big budgets to be
able to go recruiting, but to send somebody out every
Friday night across the country is extremely cost It's not
cost efficient, it's detrimental to the budget. So if they
(22:36):
can be a part of that channel, they can watch
it live, they can watch the feedback, they can you know,
watch everything and see what they want to see, and
then they can also snip plays. So if I'm an
assistant coach and my job is to go find the
next best running back, and I see a couple of
things that are running backs to do, that are going
to absolutely help us if he comes in as a freshman,
I'm going to snip those right then and there and
(22:57):
send those clips to my hest or to the the
head coach and say, hey, I think I found the guy.
Like I'm going to get the full film, but here's
a couple of his clips, and it just helps with
that recruiting and it gives the kids the advantage. Seven
on seven is a perfect example of this. So we
actually worked with a very large seven on seven company
(23:17):
here in Michigan where I'm based out. And one of
the things that we ran into is colleges were watching
the games on the sideline and so the guys were watching,
they're recruiting these they were out there trying to find
the next dude, right, and so they were actually able
to open the app up, and they were able to
snit clips of plays that they liked from players that
they were watching live. And so they're sitting there on
(23:39):
the sidelines and again all the cameras are up and
basically they play happens they hit a single button. At
that single push of the button, they captured that clip
back in time. So when they go back to their
war room, when they go back to figure out who
they got to recruit, they go back and review each
one of those snips, because clearly, in the moment they
meant something. And by time I got home, if I
(23:59):
don't write that timestamp down, or if I don't, you know,
remember that kid perfectly, which who knows how many phone
calls I have between the time that game happened. When
I get back to my office, I'm going to forget
when it was. But using snit back, I got that
clip right then and there I get back to my office,
I can call the kid and be like, hey, I
really liked how you you ran your route. I really
thought that you did really go to coverage. I bet
your positioning was incredible. I thought you were reading whatever
(24:21):
it might be. And now that kid actually knows you're
vested in their recruitment because you're not just sending crap
to them, you're actually sending them like thoughts on the
reviews of the actual plays and specifics.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
So if I'm the assistant coach and I'm watching it
whatever it is, seven on seven, five on five, whatever
the heck I'm watching, and I or even at a camp,
and I want my head coach to see a couple
of these clips, and he's on the other field or
not even in town, that clip I can then send
(24:53):
to him.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Yeah, so it's called the staff snip, and so I
snip it from my account. But if you're in our
staff group, then you just go in and you look
at it and you don't even need to be present
to see it.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
And then so he's gonna then say, the head coach
is going to tell me, Hey, tell that high school
coach that we're offering his guy or scholarship. That's pretty
powerful to happen instantly like that.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean you're right, that's where we're seeing
a huge advantage in the sport of basketball with that.
I think football, once football stees the power of that,
I think they're gonna people are going to want to
take advantage of that feature. So basketball coach is already
doing it, so I can tell you right now, it's
already a thing in college athletics. It's only a matter
(25:41):
of time before the football guys realize like, oh man,
like we can be in more than one place at once.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Like that's a powerful thing because because he's also then
seeing his arm length and height and body type and everything.
So he's got that view that he can then tell
the coach and show them a couple of the clips
and yeah he is really six ' three blah blah blah. Yeah,
coach offer, and this is unbelieving. I love this.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah. The the and the one thing that there's a stigma,
right like if I'm a college coach, like I'm I'm
watching and recruiting a kid, I'm not doing this, like
I'm not out there filming right that. I mean, I
was a college coach, Like I can tell you right now,
I've ever pulled my phone out and started recording a kid,
even if I loved him, if I thought they were amazing.
I'm not recording a kid. But if I have an
app open on my phone or I have an app
(26:28):
on my watch, and every time I see something, I
just hit that button. It's very like very I don't know, private,
it's not incognito, and so like, it's not not very invasive,
like the kid doesn't even know that I'm doing anything,
knowing none of my competitors know what I'm doing, you know.
It's just it's a very easy way for me to
get footage of a kid, and it's not it's not
(26:51):
very hard at all because it's literally an app on
your phone.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
So these days, college coaches are walking out there with
their iPhone and video taping the kid at the seven
on seven or the five on five or the camp
or whatever the heck it might be. And so a
lot of these schools host camps where fifty other schools attend,
and they're going to shoot that video with their iPhone
(27:15):
and then be able to send that to that head coach.
So that, to me, this is an unbelievable where we
used to just have to take the video and then
send it or show it to the coach, you know,
down next week or tomorrow when we're in the office.
This is instantaneous. Yeah, yeah, I love this. This can
(27:38):
also be attached to your Twitter page or x now, right,
So if I have an X page, I can put
the link to the snipback clip or video or game
on my Twitter page X page.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah. That's that's one of the best parts about our system,
as our developers and coders have designed it every video
to actually be tied to a URL. And so because
that it's a link and it's not a hardwired embedded video,
you can put as long of a video or on
Instagram or your you know, any other social media page
that you have because it's a link instead of an
(28:17):
actual video.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
So one more thing with this recruiting video and the
individual athlete you said, it's just like a how or
not how, but actually YouTube page, right, and so he
can include his contact information, his jersey number, his GPA.
Can they attach other things? Would I be able to
(28:41):
attach a transcript to this?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah? So, like eventually when those pages do come off
for launch, because right now we are in the beta
version of personal pages. We have team pages, but not
necessarily the personal player pages yet, but all of your
highlight films you can customize with all of that information.
So when an athlete goes in and puts a high
like film together of all of their snips, what they
can do is they can put all their contact information,
(29:05):
their player information, they can put their school information, whoever
they need to contact, all that and then when they
get the page, they're actual personal page that's coming out
once that launches, will be able to attach their transcripts,
they'll be able to tansk their videos or your alcoholic.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And they can make that private to the college coaches
or is that possible?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, yeah, you protect your content. So we put it
as what we call as a follower, so you have
ultimate approval who follows you. It's more of a subscription based,
but there's just no payment to it. But it's just
a hey, like here's my page. Oh hey, coach Ryan
wants to follow you. I've got to approve that to
make sure that it's something that I want some to
