9A- Testing the Hypothesis Part 2

Who: I am not sure there are many players similar to the prototypical customer for online basketball training that do not share this need. The only people I was able to find are the players who train with a trainer in person or are able to find enough free knowledge through YouTube and Instagram. 

What: My proposed service is online basketball training. When the pandemic ends or gyms start to reopen, many players will regain access to their skills trainer to work with in person. In-person training is without a doubt the most valuable form of training for those who can afford it and are located close enough. 

Why: The need of the outsiders is the same as those that are the prototypical customer. The difference is the prototypical customer does not have access to in-person training because of their location or budget. 

  Inside the boundary Outside the boundary
 Who High-level basketball players who are not
located near or cannot afford top trainers.
 High-level basketball players who are located
 near and can afford top trainers
 What High-level personalized basketball training. High-level personalized basketball training. 
 Why Basketball is evolving along with its skills,
 so this knowledge and motivation provided
 is necessary to not fall behind.

Overall, this assignment was rather difficult finding five high-level players who do not have this unmet need during the pandemic. There were a few players who continued to train with their trainers either at their house or at a local park. One athlete said he was using Instagram content provided by the top trainers in the world to work on his game, however it was not personalized. The distinguishing factor between the people inside the boundary and outside the boundary is access to high-level trainers in person.
