Prototype to Progress: Fast Feedback & Team Flow in Sports Tech | Mike Rolih

Pragmatic, playful, and full of insight. With Mike Rolih (Founder & CEO, GoRout), we explore life, leadership, and business from the inside out, why speed of feedback beats perfection, how sport and business mirror each other, and what it takes to turn chaos into clarity through curiosity, iteration, and team high flow.Mike’s journey reminded me that innovation doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from iteration and a willingness to “build ugly”. When you learn to build, test, and listen in the same breath, progress becomes inevitable. I loved the fact that he unashamedly drove limousines, exploring what was next in his career and using it to market research his business idea.The Bee™ Formless Methodology, we explored:LEARN (Letting go)✨ Wife Knew Best: how a side tinkering project became a breakthrough company built on listening and iteration.✨ Forget the Past: momentum matters more than perfection.UNLEARN (Reimagine & reshape)✨ From Chaos to Code: turning scrappy experiments into disciplined innovation and revolutionising sport as we know it through wearable tech on sporting fields.✨ Sports Strategy for Startups: leadership and adaptability from the field to the boardroom.RELEARN (Test & implement)✨ Fast Feedback Loops: ship “crappy” prototypes and learn through iteration to win.✨ Team Flow: how coaches and leaders align for high-trust decision making communication with their teams.ACTIVE RECOVERY (Reflect & reset)✨ Change Your Game: pause to reset when stuck in loops.✨ Refuel Curiosity: small rituals (a drive, a walk, a quiet moment) to spark fresh thinking.About Mike Rolih:Mike is Founder & CEO of GoRout, the sports-tech company behind a visual, coach-to-player communication system used by thousands of football, baseball, and softball programs.
