Honored to be mentioned, but this is TEAM recognition. Impossible without a great coaching staff and a group of young men learning to play together, trust each other, and get better every week.

Let’s go get another one Friday! Go Jimmies! ⚒️😤 @JimtownFootball

Good Luck to all our #ProDogs this season!

WiFi drops. Cell service dies. Admitting fans to your tournament doesn't have to slow down. 📶
Fastbreak Ticketing keeps entry moving with offline check-in, so families still get in even when the signal won't cooperate. When the internet drops, Fastbreak switchs to offline mode automatically. No refresh needed, no downtime, no lost sales. Every transaction gets encrypted on the device, flagged as "Pending Offline," and auto-syncs the moment a signal comes back. You don't have to do a thing.

Your registration page won't sell itself. 👀
Waiting for teams to trickle in? Here's the thing: coaches watch what other coaches do. Early commitments build the momentum that gets the rest of your bracket to say yes, faster.

We're breaking down how to protect your cash flow, build trust early and make registering a no-brainer 🔗 https://t.co/aBzLP9BjBx

Youth travel sports doesn't just fill gyms, it fills entire cities. Sports-event tourism generates $128 billion in economic impact and supports 757,600 jobs in 2026 alone. That's the power of every tournament, every weekend, every family that hits the road to compete.

If you're not selling sponsor exposure on your tickets, you're leaving money on the table. 🎟️ It doesn't have to be complicated. Know your total ticket volume, layer in an offer, and provide data to sponsors after the event.

With $31.8 trillion in global purchasing power and 75% of discretionary spending on the horizon, the most influential consumer in sports isn't hard to find. She's at every game, every weekend, running it all.
That's exactly the audience Fastbreak Connect puts your brand in front of — in person, at scale, where it counts.

3.5 million children under 14 seek medical care for sports injuries annually in the US. It's a reminder of why athlete welfare can't be an afterthought. From smarter scheduling to better workload management, we're building tech that helps put the right balance of rest and reps at the center of every decision.

We talk a lot about what sports 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 to people. Here's what they mean to an economy: $30.5 billion. Behind every great sporting event, there's a massive business engine running it.

New Top of the 9th is here. 🎙️
Livis Freeman has spent 20 years helping pro athletes build charitable identities that actually stick (think Jerry Stackhouse, Antawn Jamison, and more).

In this one: why real legacy outlasts a jersey number, how the media gatekeepers lost their keys, and how NIL caught 18-year-olds without the guardrails they needed. Plus a great story about a certain Seth Trimble buzzer-beater.

Go give it a read: https://t.co/0HFX9o0Dd7

No single revenue stream carries a pro league on its own. It takes media rights, sponsorships, matchday, and merch working together, and the smartest orgs are always looking for ways to grow each one. 🙌

Women's sports is having a moment, but Paul Gugliucci says we haven't seen anything yet. Stadiums, training facilities, real estate... it's all still coming.

"We collected $30K in registration fees, we're fine." Famous last words. 😅

Revenue, margin and cash are three different numbers, and mixing them up is how promising tournaments don't make it to year two. You can collect $30K and still be down to $2K in cash once the deposits, referees and insurance get paid.

Feels like success, but it isn't the same thing.

The tournament operators who last treat these as three separate conversations: what came in, what you actually keep, and what's in the account the Tuesday before the event. Get that right, and you stop padding prices out of fear and start growing instead.

Understand how revenue, cashflow and margin can help grow or sink your business: https://t.co/5RDlWjlp9R

To build great sports tech, we first had to focus on a having great place to build it. 🏆

Great products start with a great culture, and this recognition says a lot about the people behind the platform.

There's a budget line sitting in your city's Convention and Visitors Bureau with your tournament's name on it, if you ask. 👀

The directors who win this funding show up 6 months out with real numbers: room nights, visitor origins, per-family spend. Proof beats promises every time.

We break down exactly how to make the ask in our latest blog: https://t.co/njw7M5MgWA

40 teams. Three registration platforms. Check-in doesn't know who's paid. A coach wants to know why his team's not on the bracket. 😬
That's not a bad morning, it's a systems failure, and it was preventable weeks earlier.

Registration, payments, scheduling, communication, check-in and reporting all need to be locked in before you open registration, not assumed. We break it down here 🔗 https://t.co/B81DHLqhyy

@JimtownFootball is coming off a 2-8 season last year, but half of their losses were by a touchdown or less. Experience, growth and an improved brotherhood could mean a return to success for @CodyVincent’s squad in 2026.
