Our Philosophy

Traditional media constrains athletes to sanitized, PR-managed narratives. At 4TF Media, we flip that script — giving our clients a platform where they control the story, the tone, and the message.

Our Platform

We create content that converts followers into fans and fans into communities — from long-form articles to behind-the-scenes reels, we produce media that builds authentic, lasting brand equity.

Our Story

EXPLORE OUR JOURNEY

4 The Family Sports was founded by Rex Kaplan during his final semester at Providence High School in Burbank, CA in 2022. Rex is currently attending the University of Oregon, studying Business Administration with a focus in Sports Business, while minoring in Media Studies.

Rex, a four-year varsity baseball captain at Providence, was extremely excited to retire his cleats and get to work at Oregon as an athlete representative. He enjoys every moment pursuing his dreams to work in sports.

Rex's personal desire is to be a phone call away from anything and anyone. His goals are to be MLBPA certified by 23, and NBAPA certified by 25.
