[1:53] Josh welcomes Justin to Franchise Euphoria.

[2:20] Justin shares about his business history and what led him to the working with Soccer Shots.

[8:38] Prior to joining Soccer Shots, Justin was working as a National Director for Auntie Anne’s where he oversaw over 800 locations.

[10:46] Soccer Shots is a territory-based franchise where they go to childcare centers, pre-schools, elementary schools, etc., and a coach conducts weekly clinics at that location.

[13:41] One of the benefits of working in an industry involving soccer is that the locations are very versatile, which provides many location options for their programs.

[14:31] A big part of the Soccer Shots programs is teaching the basics of soccer, but it also focuses on teaching social kids to children.

[16:37] Not having a brick and mortar investment component to the franchise has allowed Soccer Shots to partner with some unique companies.

[18:43] All the Soccer Shots programs begin with a free, fun day, then materials get sent out to the families explaining the program. Once people register, a coach will conduct a 30-40 minute session that follows a structured curriculum throughout the duration of the season.

[21:09] In Justin’s opinion, youth sports are under professionalized in today’s society, and Soccer Shots sets themselves apart by investing in their program through input received by customers.
