In this episode of Just A Cup, host Bryan Fetzer talks with Daniel Levy (CEO, Propel Pro) about leveling access to high-quality coaching: connecting athletes with top coaches, speeding up feedback cycles, and giving clubs a scalable way to support development year-round. We cover platform design, coach QA, parent education, and smart pilots with youth organizations. Daniel also shares lessons from recent partnerships (e.g., Vermont Soccer Association/ODP and collaboration with Manhattan SC coach Ray Selvadurai) and how Propel Pro is gearing up for a broader 2026 rollout.
