From Leo Garcia: “Over the past 20+ years, I focused on providing clubs with competitive platforms and opportunities to develop players to their full potential. At Byga, I look forward to continued club support, finding ways to efficiently manage talent identification programs and refining a national standard for club technology usage and compatibility.”
From Byga CEO Afshin Shafie: “By supporting various PDP programs throughout the western region over the last few years, Byga has learned a ton about the talent ID process and we’re now ready to more directly impact player development by growing in the talent identification space.
