First & Goal Recruiting 1st & Goal Recruiting provides advanced statistical analysis and performance prediction for college

MVR’s mission is to help sports organizations identify seemly intangible athlete qualities that are mathematically related to success in sports. For each customer, we focus on building and deploying a customized predictive model (PM) of sports behavior. This is accomplished through the use of quantitative psychology and supervised machine learning. In a typical engagement with a customer (e.g., an

amateur club team, athletic department, or pro sports team), MVR seeks to understand first the key performance indicators in winning games in the target sport. In most sports, the primary performance indicator is usually the number of points scored. Secondary indicators may be various statistics on offense and defense. Next, MVR establishes theoretical links among various aspects of human cognition (how an athlete thinks), affect (how an athlete feels), and behavior (what an athlete does) in a particular sport. Third, objectively measured sports behaviors (e.g., touchdowns, 3-pt shots, or home runs) are collected and used as targets in PMs. Because MVR has a very strong basis in psychology, we measure hidden and seemly intangible qualities (e.g., court vision, football smarts, baseball IQ and high motor qualities) that lead to success in games. This is a key differentiator and source of competitive advantage. We measure these psychological attributes using a collection of cloud-based, smart tests (aka, MVR Edge). Each test, when administered, automatically adapts to an athlete’s level of ability or trait based upon the athlete’s previous response patterns. This process yields more accurate information while reducing data collection times. The cognitive, affective, and physical data of athletes are stored in our system along with objective sports data. MVR then trains and tests the sports specific PM using proprietary, supervised machine learning techniques. Once the PM has been validated, a mathematical model is available for predicting sport performance of current and future players. One or more models can be used simultaneously to evaluate athletes. Sports organizations can then assess any player before making a selection decision (e.g., to award a scholarship or contract). Access to our smart tests and customized, sports PM is available through both a web-based interface or a predictive API, allowing for both standalone use or integration into a comprehensive athlete management system.
