For Founders
Founder Partnerships
Your story, on The Faceoff Podcast, in front of the people who make youth sports run.
The Faceoff Podcast is the center of The Coach's Board: long-form, on-the-record conversations with the founders building youth sports. A founder partnership gives you an episode and everything we build around it, from the prep call to launch week.
Who's In The Room
The people who make youth sports run.
Coaches, club directors, facility operators, league and tournament organizers, athletic directors, board members, and the investors and brands circling all of it. They listen to The Faceoff, read the Monday News Roundup, and follow along on LinkedIn, Instagram, X, TikTok and YouTube. We'll share current audience numbers with your quote.
What's Included
Everything we build around your episode.
The prep call
We learn your story and map the conversation with you before anything is recorded.
