Know What Is Next What It Takes to Modernize Youth Sports at Scale with Sameer Ahuja
Youth sports operates at a scale few people realize, with millions of games, volunteer-run teams, and technology that has to work for everyone from coaches to grandparents.
GameChanger CEO Sameer Ahuja is here to walk through how the company approaches those challenges, and how that thinking shaped their most significant product update in its 15-year history.
He shares how GameChanger has leaned into a mobile-first, automation-driven approach to serve millions of teams, how AI is being applied in practical ways, the long-term vision for athlete profiles, and how privacy and trust shape every product decision.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How Sameer’s background shaped his approach to building trust and making long-term product bets
- Why youth sports creates a paradox of massive scale and tiny audiences, and how that reality forces different decisions
- How GameChanger thinks about reducing labor when building tools for volunteer coaches and families
- How the company decides when AI-driven automation is “good enough” to ship
