In this eye-opening episode of the Tatum Talk Show, Coach Derrick Tatum and former NFL player Buck Fitzgerald dive deep into the controversial world of youth football and recruiting. They address the toxic culture of 7v7 and travel ball, the dangers of NIL distraction, and why many kids are sabotaging their futures before they even get to college. They highlight how real development and strong mentorship are being replaced by clout chasing, bad parenting, and money-first mindsets. Buck and Derrick break down how social media, ego, and lack of accountability are ruining the game—and how players can take the right path through discipline, humility, and real performance. Whether you’re a parent hoping your child goes D1, a coach, or an athlete yourself, this is a must-watch.
