Frequently ASKED QUESTIONs

WHY DID WE START POSSE?

One of our founders is a retired DI head football coach who is familiar with the ins and outs of building a team. Based on his experience on 3 national championship teams, the most important aspect is having a player-led culture.

Posse is intentionally created to boost your culture through your players.

MISSION

To develop and deepen relationships.

VISION

Cultivating winning cultures.

HOW DOES POSSE WORK?

The team is broken up into randomized (or customized) “Posses” with 8-12 players each so that they can interact with teammates outside of their normal cliques.

There are two main features: prompts and chats. Prompts include a weekly question that everyone will answer in a 25-second-or-less video. Users will then vote on a video from their Posse before gaining access to the videos of the whole team. Chats include player-led topical discussions. Users can subscribe to chat rooms that they are interested in, but will still have the ability to start or view chats in any room. A third feature – games – is in development and will be available soon.

WHAT WAYS WILL POSSE IMPACT OUR WINNING?

Teams that communicate off the field communicate better on the field. Thus, translating to more wins.

WHAT WAYS WILL POSSE IMPACT RECRUITING?

It’s a tool that shows your players matter. You are investing in your players’ ability to build and contribute to your team.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR THE COACHES/STAFF?

Think of Posse as an information-gathering tool. The staff will have access to watch all of the players’ videos on demand. There isn’t a more efficient way to get to know the team. The digital interactions lead to more organic face-to-face conversations.

WHY ARE “CHATS” ONLY ON THE PLAYERS PHONES?

When talking with players, we found they had a desire to find other players who had similar interests. One player stated that he had always thought he was the only "artsy" guy on the team and it wasn't until his senior season that he found another Design major. 

But the larger goal is getting the players to lead discussions on their own. The best way to establish a player-led team is by giving them a place that encourages that.

WHAT OTHER FEATURES WILL THE PLAYERS LIKE?

Players love competing, so there are various ways to compete built into Posse. From the point system to nominations to competitions then eventually daily games. All of the features are fun, but optional.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO INTRODUCE POSSE?

Because we made Posse so simple to use, any time is a good time. 

We recommend a 15-20 minute intro call with your player leadership group and our Player Liaison for a demo. Then it’s as easy as sending us the emails to input in the platform and you’re good to go!

WILL POSSE RUN ITSELF?

Absolutely. You can allow Posse to generate all of the prompts and just let it run. However, it is also customizable. Meaning that you can swap questions or even put in your own if you desire.
