Founder story
Henry Kang recognized how difficult it is for parents and athletes to evaluate coaches. With only scattered ideas at the start, he partnered with WebRend to rapidly shape the vision into a usable product.
“Kevin took our scattered ideas and turned them into a fully functional, high-performance platform with clarity and precision. We didn’t need to over-explain—he just got it. From the layout to the smallest details, the final product reflects exactly what we were aiming for, and he made it all come together without adding friction to the process. What really stood out was Kevin’s ability to anticipate needs and solve problems before they even surfaced. He kept everything moving without unnecessary back-and-forth, offered smart solutions when decisions had to be made, and never let anything fall through the cracks. Now that ReviewMyCoach is almost ready to launch, the energy around it is real—and a lot of that is thanks to the focus and care Kevin put into every step.”
