Ep. 61 | What Actually Predicts a Basketball Player's Long-Term Success
Sep 20, 202653 min
Send us Fan Mail Episode 61 Today is a conversation on what actually predicts long-term success in youth basketball. We cover the risks of early sport specialization, the relative age effect and why "late bloomers" often overtake early developers, and why overcoming setbacks and staying engaged with the game matters more than current skill level. Direct value for parents and coaches deciding how hard to push a young player.

Alan Stein Jr. - Why the Best Players Focus on Process
Sep 8, 202645 min
Send us Fan Mail Episode 35 | Guest: Alan Stein Jr. Alan Stein Jr. spent fifteen years as a basketball performance coach working with some of the greatest players the game has seen — Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry among them. In this episode he breaks down the mindset that separates elite players from everyone else, why "next play" thinking has to be practiced daily, and what parents and young athletes get wrong about the process.

Growth Spurts, Coordination, and Injury Risk in Young Basketball Players
Sep 1, 202658 min
Send us Fan Mail Episode 35 | Guest: Gratas Stan and Gratas break down "adolescent awkwardness" — the clumsy, uncoordinated phase many young athletes go through during a growth spurt. They cover why it happens, how to spot when growth is fast enough to raise injury risk, and what to actually do about it: strength training with movement variety, wrestling-style body-control drills, multi-sport exposure, coordination ladders, and sleep. Practical, not theoretical — built for parents and coaches watching a kid suddenly hit doorframes and drop passes.

Aug 24, 202659 min
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we break down how young players could manage training load across school practices, games, and strength training. We introduce a simple framework, separating everything into buckets, and explain why no more than 3 high-intensity days per week is the target. We explain how structured training can cut injury risk by two-thirds. This episode is for players, parents, and coaches who want to build a sustainable weekly schedule without overloading young athletes.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
