FAQ

Common questions.

Do you replace our coaching staff?

No. The club or academy retains its methodology, brand, and technical judgment. 79 adds the operating, technology, evidence, and communication layer.

How is youth data handled?

Private by default. Youth identity, consent, development evidence, and public media are separated. Guardian consent is required for minors and never assumed. COPPA-aligned for under 13.

What does AI actually do?

AI supports personalization, coach preparation, reflection, evidence, and communication. It does not select athletes, rank humans, or replace coach judgment.

What happens after the pilot?

Successful pilots convert into annual licenses, sponsor and academy partnerships, and membership pathways for families.
