Sports Business Secrets
Season 3 || Episode 457
Today’s guest is DJ McCall, Sports Technology & Data Analyst at Optimum Performance Sports and Founder of Recruitabl. D.j. is a former collegiate and professional basketball player (and of course a Kreation Talent Agency client) who has reached many levels of success both on and off the court!
This episode is truly a full circle moment for me because the first time D.j. and I actually met was when he reached out after listening to a few episodes from Season 1 of Sports Business Secrets!
I know you’ll enjoy all the topics we discuss, there’s definitely a few stories you won’t want to miss.
Today we talked about:
growing up in a basketball loving state
the college recruiting process and why he chose IUPUI
the agent selection process and making the GLeague
battling through injuries and planning a “career restart”
improving his jump shot with Coach Dave Love
his experience at Europrobasket with Brad Kanis
finally signing his contract and what happened next
his retirement decision… and the call that changed that
his role and responsibilities at OPS
starting his own company (Recruitabl)
and much more
Appreciate you tuning in. Hope you enjoy!
