Tyler Johnson — The Man Behind HoopFanatic
In 2017, Tyler Johnson was a college dropout working a dead-end job when someone close to him said he'd never amount to anything. The next day, he started Hoopfanatic. Years later, he's shot courtside in Greece, Turkey, and Sweden, earned credentials at Steph Curry's private training camp, and built a media business that's doubled in revenue every year since 2023. The Courtside Agency isn't a course from someone who read about the industry — it's the exact playbook from someone living it.
