Today’s Podcast: The Truth About Your Athlete & College Sports

In this indepth interview with college player and recruiter Josh Templeton, we discuss what is most important for your child to know if he or she wants to play in college and what the timeline for that process should be.

Josh played college basketball at Tennessee Temple University, and after graduation, spent 9 years on the recruiting trail as an assistant men’s basketball coach at an NAIA and an NCAA Division 2 school in Tennessee. He is the author of the book entitiled I Played for My Dad for 9 Years, and We Still Talk about his abnormally long journey being a coach’s son.

Currently, Josh is running a basketball player development program called All In Hoops in Chattanooga, TN. You can find Josh writing on his blog at www.coachthoops.com
