Episode #109: Ryan Callahan on Recruiting

🎙️  From the AD’s Chair: Ryan Callahan on Recruiting 

In Part 2 of my conversation with Ryan Callahan, Director of Athletics at UW-Whitewater, we focus entirely on the world of college recruiting—but from a perspective most families never hear. As an Athletic Director who has led programs and supported legendary coaches, Ryan shares what really happens behind the scenes of recruiting: what coaches and administrators look for, how decisions are made, and what recruits and parents should be doing right now to stand out.

If you’re a student-athlete, parent, or coach, this episode gives you insider clarity on how the process actually works—not the myths, not the message boards, but the reality straight from an AD’s chair.
