CoachUp, the 2012 startup designed to connect young athletes with personal trainers and coaches through their app, recently offered me the opportunity to talk to CEO John Kelley about the future of the company and even try out the platform myself.
Basketball is my favorite sport, and I chose to practice it with the app, but that’s not all CoachUp has to offer.
