Customer Challenge

Traditionally, formal feedback comes in a mid season or post season evaluation. However, getting meaningful and timely feedback throughout the season has a greater impact on a player's development. In the past, over the course of time a player might get an evaluation or two. Then at the end of the year, that was all lost, the player basically needed to start new. With Jungo, now they have this live document that follows a player and gives multiple opportunities for coaches to provide actionable feedback. It has changed the game.

Proposed Solution/Architecture

Jungo is changing the game for players, by making feedback contact quick, easy, and meaningful throughout the season and beyond. We create the ability for a player to receive feedback from any coach at any time. That feedback results in supporting a player's journey and advancement.
