Episode 457: D.j. McCall, Sports Technology & Data Analyst at OPS

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 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!
