As the producer of Chat By The Pitch, I’m thrilled to bring you an inspiring conversation with Orhan Basak Ajredinovski founder of Reeplayer. In this episode, Orhan dives into his personal journey—from playing youth soccer in Turkey and the U.S. to creating a groundbreaking camera system that autonomously records and live streams youth soccer games. We explore how Reeplayer is tackling the challenges of cost, accessibility, and tech complexity in youth sports, offering unlimited recordings for just $99/month. With innovative features like instant processing, built-in SIM cards, and a dynamic mobile app, Reeplayer is redefining how families, coaches, and players capture and share their moments. Orhan’s passion for making game footage accessible to all shines through as he discusses the future of youth sports media and its untapped potential.

Key Talking Points:

• Orhan’s Soccer Roots: From playing for Galatasaray in Turkey to moving to the U.S. and rediscovering soccer with an Italian coach named Manu.

• The Problem: Youth sports footage is massively under-recorded—over a billion hours go uncaptured annually.

• Reeplayer’s Origin: Born from Orhan’s struggle to get tryout footage as a teen and his market research with Drone FC.

• Affordable Innovation: $99/month for unlimited recordings, teams, and users—no tiers, no limits.

• Tech Breakdown: Instant processing with a credit-card-sized chip, 4K footage, and AI-driven panning and zooming.

• Upload Speed: 5-15 minutes per game upload vs. competitors’ hours-long waits.

• Built-in SIM Cards: Seamless live streaming with smart connectivity to the strongest cell towers, no extra SIM purchase needed.

• Mobile App Features: Live tagging, clip creation, and highlight reel folders for easy sharing.

• Future Vision: Replay 3.0 app overhaul in 2025 and a push for youth clubs to monetize streams with ads.

• Big Picture: Bringing media and revenue streams to youth sports to rival pro leagues like the NFL.

Quotes from Orhan:

• "Stories really make the journey more fun and meaningful."

• "There’s over a billion hours of youth sports footage that are not captured every single damn year."

• "We’re the only camera company that processes this kind of footage inside of the device."

• "Live is the best version of the sports game, and then it’s immediately after the game."

• "I’m not building for myself—I’m building for our customers, and I’ve been in their shoes."

• "When you turn on the camera, you don’t have to worry about whether it’s gonna connect."

• "We need to catch up the youth soccer space with the rest of the world."

• "You just wanna record, man, like you just wanna live stream."

• "Every single replay camera has a built-in SIM which means the camera itself is always connected to the cloud."

• "Over the span of the season, I’ll just create clips and save them into that folder—I in essence have a highlight reel."
