/ 01 · the problem
01, Goal

One link, every coach

Recruiting runs on email and DMs. He needed a single URL that drops in any message and instantly says serious, fast, and worth a look.

02, Constraint

Loads anywhere, instantly

Coaches open links on a phone between practices. It had to hit hard in the first second and never make anyone wait or pinch to zoom.

03, Bar

Cinematic, not a profile

Recruiting profiles all look the same. This had to feel like a brand: bold type, real footage, and a stage built around one player.
