Coaching for CoachesYoung athletes spend a significant part of their life on the field of play. Much of what they learn from sports and coaches impact the way they participate and lead teams over the rest of their lives. This creates a serious responsibility for coaches (many times fathers and mothers of players) to exude and instill values of leadership, teamwork, fair play, hard work and dedication.

“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”-- Vince Lombardi

“Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.”-- Lou Holtz

“Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.”--Jerry West

“Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.”--John Wooden

Coaching for Coaches is an online application that provides two important offerings:

1) Advice and articles on a broad range of coaching related topics including: leadership, running efficient practices, coaching through adversity & success as well as many other topics.

2) Playbooks and strategies for success on game day

Retractable Car Cover

Sam Mercer

Car covers are bulky, cumbersome to install with one person, too big to wash in a home washing machine and are often stolen.

The disposable car cover stores in a self retracting shade-like unit that folds for easy storage in trunk. It attaches to the windshield

and extends towards the front and back of the car and is secured under the front and rear bumper. The car cover cartridge can

be replaced after a season of use. Because of its ease of use, it will be used more often to protect against acid rain,

bird droppings and UV rays. It could be sold for $150, half the price of an average car cover. Cartridges could be sold for up to

$30. Price variety is possible by offering differing materials that offer different protection.

•Ease of use promotes frequent use•Protects most abused surface area•Compact storage•Too dirty? Replace the cartridge•Lower cost higher function alternative

__The eBay of Waste__________

• Initial concepts: – Actual Implementation might involve auction site,

brokerage service, advertising platform, barter network or combination

– B-2-B “sellers” specify max disposal price or min selling price

• Why this project?– Addressable market: $billions; no truly dominant player

– WEMBA is a competitive advantage: we succeed by figuring out how to save your companies money

– Save-the-world factor

• Value Proposition– Difficult and Time Consuming to Program

• Business Model– Small charge for service– Discount on bulk iTunes purchase

• Target Market– iPod owners that are “busy” (school/work – both?)

• Next Steps– Build Questionnaire– Perform Market Research– Negotiate discounted rates w/music providers

iWish.comCompany/Product Concept: How many

times have you stumbled through a mall searching for another mediocre gift? Have you faked an enthusiastic smile and “thank you” for yet another snow globe? Why should brides and expecting mothers reap all the benefits of gift registries? iWish.com is an everyday registry that tracks your “wish list” including links to stores, product pictures, prices, etc; so you give what they want, and you get what you want. iWish.com also emails reminders and gift suggestions before you miss your anniversary...again

Consumers: All PC users, all ages; initially focus on people currently using US-based bridal or baby registries. Marketing should be aimed at men who are less accustomed to gift registries and therefore would be more willing to be loyal to iWish.com

Collaborators: Department stores, wholesalers, OEMS (Bloomingdales, Macy’s, Best Buy, Sony, etc.)Competitors: www.myregistry.com is a cool site with a similar concept. They focus more on wedding and baby shower registries

however. Others include www.findgift.com, www.mygiftlist.com as well as retailers like Target and Crate and Barrel.Placement and Promotion: On-line website; link to collaborators’ sites, web advertising, print ads with catalogs. There are a

number of gift registries in existence, but other than those focused on weddings and babies they have little-to-no public visibility. Marketing would be a key component in differentiating iWish.com through brand awareness and positive association.

Price/ Revenue sources: Free site for users. Sponsored by stores, retailers, etc. Revenue from advertisements and “commissions” from referrals for purchases.

Start-Up Requirements: Low capital, short time to market. Start-up costs comprise designing and launching website – estimated $5-10K. On-going costs include web hosting fees, Google fees, maintenance fees… burn rate = $500 - 1,000/mo.

• The Idea:In the world of the Blogosphere, MySpace and other social information sites, we will create a simple mechanism for people to post event statistics from anywhere and track them online. People can set up profiles for specific events of interest and send info via the web, text messages, email, then use StatsMonkey to aggregate, analyze, graph and syndicate info to personal sites.

• The Value:With well over 100 million bloggers and MySpace users, StatsMonkey has a large target customer base. Initial revenues come from targeted advertising based on user profiles and interests. As usage volume increases, preferred revenue-generating relationships can be pursued by other destination sites like Yahoo, etc.

• The Buzz:Like other social networking sites, StatsMonkey has the potential for viral adoption by combining ubiquitous access, simplicity and low barriers for use with entertainment and functional value.

• The Project:– Easy to Implement– Low capital requirements– Broad applicability
