Why This Exists

Most tools measure what's easy, not what wins

Sports platforms focus on quantifiable metrics—launch angle, yards per play, shooting percentage. They miss what actually matters: reading situations, understanding momentum, recognizing when numbers don't tell the story. Built by someone who watches the game, not just the stats.

The actual problem

I played 3 sports in high school—started in each. Baseball, football, basketball. Memphis roots, competed through Texas. Watched the Cardinals, Titans, Longhorns, and Grizzlies not just as a fan, but understanding what actually happens in competition.

Then watch the industry: NFL coaches consulting 26-year-old analytics staffers who've never taken a snap on 4th-down decisions. College programs run by statistics majors who've never felt game pressure. Front offices using tools designed by people who optimize for model elegance—not winning.

The gap is obvious. Sports analytics tools are built by people who've never competed. They measure what's easy to quantify—exit velocity, launch angle, yards per play. They miss what actually wins: reading pressure, understanding momentum, knowing when to trust instinct over numbers.

Blaze exists because someone who's played, competed, and understands the game from the inside needed to build the tools. Not claiming pro experience. But claiming this: I know what matters in competition because I've been there.

Why Blaze Exists

The Problem

Most sports analytics platforms are designed by statisticians who've never competed. They optimize for what looks good in models—not what wins games.

Watch any NFL sideline. Coaches consulting analytics departments on critical decisions. College programs run by people who've never felt game pressure. Front offices using tools that prioritize statistical elegance over competitive reality.

The gap between playing and analyzing has never been wider. It shows in the tools being built.

What We're Building

Blaze isn't another stats aggregator. It's an intelligence platform designed for the people who need to make decisions under pressure:

  • → Unified multi-league coverage - MLB, NFL, NCAA Baseball, Track & Field in one system. No more switching between five different tools.
  • → Real-time synthesis - Live data that updates during games, not hours later. Injury reports, lineup changes, performance shifts as they happen.
  • → Actionable intelligence - Every piece of data answers a question: Should we pursue this recruit? What's the optimal batting order? Which free agent fits our system?
  • → Built for speed - Coaches don't have time to click through ten menus. Get the answer in two clicks or it's not worth building.

The Vision

Five years from now, every competitive program from high school to the pros should have access to intelligence that was previously reserved for billion-dollar franchises.

College baseball teams in small markets should have the same recruiting insights as SEC powers. NFL position coaches should be able to evaluate opponents in minutes, not days. Track & field programs should predict performance curves before the season starts.

The teams that win aren't the ones with the most data. They're the ones who turn data into decisions faster than everyone else.

That's what Blaze is for.
