Jordan Fliegal Founded CoachUp to Help Kids Achieve Their Athletic Dreams
CoachUp CEO Jordan Fliegal played basketball as a kid and while he loved the sport, he wasn’t very good at it—not at first anyway. On the CoachUp website, Fliegal speaks about how he was lucky enough to find a personal coach to help him train in his favorite sport. Through the private coach’s help, Fliegal managed to improve enough that many top colleges tried to recruit him. He even went on to play professional basketball in overseas leagues. Fliegal attributes his success to his private coach, and that’s why he founded tech startup CoachUp. CoachUp is an online service that conveniently connects parents and kids with private trainers and coaches to help them with a sport or activity. Fliegal attributes finding his private coach when he was a kid to pure luck. It seems he wants to take luck out of the equation and make private coaching available to as many young people as possible with CoachUp. This cool person in technology is using the connected world to try to help kids achieve more in their athletic activities.
Fliegal’s website works as both a database of private coaches and a search engine for them. Users can browse categorically through coaches by both location and activity. They can also use the site to search for specific coaches. Fliegal requires that all the coaches his company lists on the site go through an application process to ensure their quality and seriousness. Parents book sessions with CoachUp coaches directly through Fliegal’s site, which makes CoachUp a service in itself and not merely a public directory of coaches. Users can also rate and review coaches on the site to give guidance to others when choosing one for their own child. Any users who experience technical trouble on the site can call for remote tech support.
Fliegal has also ensured than CoachUp is available on mobile devices. The company has a smartphone app that is out for both iOS and Android. For help using the app, users should seek out smartphone computer support.
Fliegal graduated from Bowdoin College, where he played basketball all four years. After college, he spent several years playing minor league basketball on a professional level outside the United States. When Fliegal ended his athletic career, he worked for vendor marketplace website Zintro. Every aspect of Fliegal’s past experience plays directly into his role as CEO of CoachUp. His sports experience and work experience at a startup that connects customers with vendors both give him valuable experience that will help him build CoachUp into a successful venture.
