Why we ask before we roll

Most shows read your Wikipedia page ten minutes before you sit down. Then they ask the same four questions everyone asks. You've done that interview. So have we, and it's not the one people share.

Developing Athletes is about what happens between the lines and after them: the money, the decisions, the people, the next chapter. Athletes are trained to execute under pressure. Most just never get taught to build. Your story is how somebody younger learns that.

01

Who you are

The basics, plus how to say your name right the first time.
We need your name.
Tell us your sport.
Pick the closest fit.
Enter a working email so we can send the recording details.
Text is fine. Used for day-of logistics only.
So we tag you correctly when clips go out.
02

Your story

These write the show. Take the ones that hit and skip the rest.
Give us the two-sentence version.
An injury, a cut, a bad decision, a coach who didn't believe, a year nobody saw.
This one matters. Even a rough version helps.
First contract, first bad deal, who you trusted, what you'd tell your rookie self.
Give us one lesson, even a short one.
Business, brand, NIL deals, real estate, a foundation, the next chapter.
We'll skip it.
Named once, honored without exception.
03

What you want out of it

This is your hour too. Tell us what a win looks like for you.
One sentence is enough.
So we don't put you next to a competitor by accident.
04

Recording logistics

We record in studio in Atlanta. Tell us what works for you and we'll lock the date.
A few dates or weeks that work. If Atlanta is a stretch, tell us where you're based and we'll figure it out.
Give us a few dates so we can lock the studio.
Upload a high-res headshot and two or three action shots straight from your phone.
If your photos already live in Drive or Dropbox, drop the link here.
We need your okay to record and publish.
Goes straight to Shadzilla and the producer. Not shared, not published.
