In life, there are a lot of factors that inspire you to create something to the world, one of them is talent, the other can be your environment and their expectations towards you and many other factors.

The hero of this story is not me, it's not the one who is about to create a potential Billion-Dollar Startup, in fact it's the talent that's given naturally by god, this guy who is writing words behind a computer is so talented at football that he thought about building a business out of it and I am about to tell you how.

I am going to be journaling what I do everyday for 365 days, 50% of my time is going to be spent on PrecisionPass (aka the startup), and I am going to fill every single page and sentence with details both eventual and emotional ones, this experience will be as unique as it can possibly be.
I've always heard the advice saying « You should pursue your passion », I don't know how right or wrong this might be, but what I am sure about is that you can easily spend 10 hours a day doing something related to your passion but certainly not sure if you can do so doing something you are not passionate about.
This made me think about something, let's go deeper, what exactly makes your passion special among every other thing in this world to you?
I guess the answer is as simple as it's something you are willing to give both your attention and your time to sometimes even without asking for a return because at the end it's fun, I wouldn't ask for anything while playing football I am the one who pays to play.
And if you look close enough you'll get to know that your job will take the majority of your best time of your life which is say from 20 to 60, 40 years from exactly the most active and perfect version of you, and if your work is at least 8 hours a day, one third of 40 years (again 40 best years of your life) will be spent on your profession.
It's hard to tell how an idea come to your mind, it's about environment, what you've been watching lately on youtube, social media and others, it's a very complicated combination that I am not sure we can tell the exact formula.
But truth be told, I've been for so long time (say 1.5 year at least) looking for something that combines my computer science skills with football, and I don't need to tell that AI is already being used in football in offside situations, goal checking, fouls, penalties and so much more.
So the fact that there are some amazing products and services out there made me think a lot.
You have to know that it's not about ideas anymore nowadays, it's about making the idea even if it's not good enough, it will get better by the time.
Entrepreneurs nowadays are busy  making ideas so perfect that the whole idea feels engineered, meaning it's not anymore useful for anyone other than engineers.
Since 2019 I've been learning about AI,
And to make things clear, AI is an intersection of 3 circles « Maths & statistics » « Computer science » and « A domain ».
The shining circle among these is the domain one.
What is the only thing I am so good at and willing to learn about more, it's football.
That's it, here is the domain.
That's generally how we got into here, we will dive into details for next chapters.
