Tiffany Deering: Simplifying the Softball Recruiting Process with APS Recruits
Episode 453
Friday, 17 April, 2026

In this episode of The Gametime Guru, Shane Larson sits down with Tiffany Deering to talk about one of the biggest challenges facing young athletes and their families today: the recruiting process. Tiffany shares her journey from playing competitive softball in Southern California to becoming a national champion at the University of Michigan, and how that experience shaped the way she now helps families navigate recruiting. She explains how the process has changed over the years, why today's athletes often feel overwhelmed, and how APS Recruits was built to help simplify the chaos. Shane and Tiffany also dive into the real pain points families face, including coach communication, social media pressure, highlight videos, camp planning, and the stress of trying to stay organized while still enjoying the sport. They discuss how APS Recruits helps athletes streamline outreach, track engagement, and stay proactive in building relationships with college programs. Tiffany also shares that families can learn more at apsrecruits.com. This conversation is a valuable listen for softball players, parents, coaches, and anyone trying to better understand what it takes to navigate recruiting in today's sports world. One of the biggest messages from Tiffany is simple: start early, stay consistent, and don't let the process steal the joy of the game.
