I’ve always loved sports, I grew up planning to be a Major Leaguer, I lived and breathed the goal. I now have 2 children in multiple sports. I find myself spending the majority of my adult life searching for parking spots at games, standing on baseball fields and volunteering every moment I have available to be a part of their journey.
A few years into it, I was coaching a (kick ass) Travel Baseball team with great friends and watching the community of families we built around sports grow into lifelong memories. I was making a decent living at my “real job”, but the travel and corporate red tape was killing me. Not that I couldn’t handle the job, I just couldn’t handle missing a practice or even a game. I found myself sitting on an airplane wishing I was there.
I realized quickly that these moments (as a parent) are gone quicker than I may have thought, and surely other parents and coaches felt the same. After kicking around some ideas with my friends and realizing all the talent we had between us, the concept of “never miss a game” through live game streaming started to take shape. We formed GoDog Sports and our core mission was and is to connect parents, families, and sponsors with the ability to be a part of the action even when they can’t physically be there with their loved ones.
A few months later, we had a kick ass plan and all hands were on deck. We decided to start a company with a team mentality and the startup mindset… We thought if there’s a “we’re in this together” spirit and we’re providing flexibility in our own lives; we can find a truly unique market and turn our passion and vision to bring affordable live sports streaming to youth sports leagues, schools and complexes to life.
Just over a year later, we're T-Mobile's Official 5G Live Streaming Sports Provider and are installing nationwide for T-Mobile sponsored youth sports leagues, as well as schools, leagues and youth tournament complexes all over America. We're looking to share our unique story and help people stay in touch with their youth athlete's sports games.
