 • Successful Beta Testing:

 • Key user types (athletes, parents, coaches) successfully tested the app, completed tasks, and provided positive feedback.

 • Resolved Issues:

 • Any major bugs or usability concerns identified during testing were fixed before the official launch.

4. Completion of Development Milestones
