How mobile brings private coaches and athletes together - with CoachUp founder Jordan Fliegel

Inspired. That's how I left this episode. Completely inspired. Jordan Fliegel is the founder of CoachUp, a company that helps match athletes (or wanna be athletes) with professional coaches. Not just any type of coach but some of the most elite athletes-turned-coaches in the United States. His company has attracted over 13,000 coaches and they are all available to help you achieve your athletic goals.   With the growing popularity of coaching applications strewn across mobile - where the emphasis seems to be on peer-to-peer apps, CoachUp focuses on using mobile to help bring coach and student together, in real life. There are a number of ways this happens and they all happen on mobile. From finding a coach, to a coach setting appointments and getting paid, the CoachUp app is at the centre and is the glue that binds the two sides together.   Jordan's journey is a great story of a pro athlete - who was influenced by coaching his whole life - moving from the court to the front office (sorry!).   Full show notes can be found here.
