Is 7v7 Football Hurting Player Development? The TRUTH No One Wants to Admit | Tatum Talk - Episode 18

Ayy look — 7v7 coaches might get mad at this one, but we gotta keep it real. In this episode of the Tatum Talk Show, my dawg Buck Fitzgerald and I break down why 7v7 is NOT the reason your kid is getting recruited — and why development is being forgotten in this hype game.

We talk about why training > trophies, why mindset matters more than rankings, and why the main course is always development, not dessert like 7v7.

We share real stories — from working with elite athletes like Jalen Ramsey and Junior Colson, to watching parents chase clout while their kids ride the bench. This one ain’t sugarcoated. If you're a parent, coach, or player chasing greatness, this one's for you.

📌 Good is the enemy of great — let’s get to work.
