What this episode covers
In this powerful episode, Coach Derrick Tatum pulls back the curtain on why many young athletes don’t get recruited — and it’s not because they lack talent. The problem? Parents and players often make the wrong decisions at the wrong time. Derrick emphasizes the importance of choosing the right team, one that actually allows your athlete to get meaningful reps, especially as a freshman or sophomore. Chasing a big-name high school or hype-driven 7v7 team might sound good, but if your kid isn’t playing or being coached properly, their exposure means nothing. Derrick also breaks down how his system has helped over 500 athletes earn college offers, and more than $75 million in scholarships, by focusing on development, strategy, and proper exposure — not clout. He shares real talk on how to evaluate teams, what questions parents must ask, and why building a real recruiting plan beats chasing rankings and Instagram offers.
