Ever wonder what it feels like to win a pitch competition and then get right back to work the next morning? This one delivers that rush. On Rock Solid, Bryan Eisenberg sits down with Joseph Fischer of Playmaker Recruiting, the newly crowned winner of the Round Rock Chamber Startup Day pitch competition, and the conversation moves fast, hits hard, and shows you exactly why he won.
You will hear how Joseph kept applying until it clicked, why going late in the lineup helped him, and what it was like to follow an amazing storyteller and a PhD in nanotechnology. You will hear how the judges pressed him on the toughest question in two sided platforms and how he came ready with real answers. You will smile at a full circle moment when one of the judges turned out to be tied to the program where Joseph first pitched the idea back in 2016. Persistence pays. Preparation pays. Clarity pays.
You will pick up practical takeaways. How to build a five minute pitch that lands. How to handle judge questions without losing your cool. How Playmaker Recruiting saves coaches hours by pulling team data into one place and removing busy work. How parents and players can claim a profile in minutes and keep it free. How college coaches get the trusted context they want from the high school coach, not random noise from social media. Joseph even shares how they are expanding beyond football into baseball, softball, and basketball, and why showing up at Texas High School Coaches Association matters. If you care about recruiting, time, or traction, this will help you.
You will leave encouraged. Underdogs win when the story is true and the work is real. Players with heart get seen. Coaches get time back. Startups that keep showing up break through. If you plan to pitch next year, Joseph’s advice will give you a clear path. If you coach, you will hear how to get a quick demo and give your kids more chances. If you are a parent or player, you will hear how to claim your profile and start getting looks without paying a cent.
