Responsibility: Shaping the Future With Purpose, Not Pressure

With influence comes responsibility  and for Jaime Medina, that responsibility is deeply personal.

In a recruiting world that often tells specialists,
“You must go to this camp.”
“You must have this ranking.”
“You’ll be invisible if you don’t pay thousands of dollars.”

KT Recruiting is intentionally pushing back.

Jaime believes rankings are a tool not a requirement.
They can help open doors.
They can create conversation.
They can give coaches a snapshot.

But they are not the end-all, be-all of a specialist’s future.

“It is hard to get to camps. It is hard to afford them. And it’s hard to be told your future depends on one weekend performance. That’s not the truth.”

Shaping the future means protecting athletes from being boxed in by a number.

It means teaching families that development matters more than exposure.

It means reminding kids that their path can work with or without a ranking camp if they commit to the craft, the process, and the long game.
