Derrick has lived the fascinating life of a high school jock who walked on to a college baseball and basketball team, done 9 competitive reality shows which had him jumping from planes, climbing mountains and competing head-to-head in various grueling challenges, filmed a movie, lived in Hollywood, helped his family in tough times, and, now, he has a family of his own. These are all massive accomplishments for a 26 year old. It's almost the American DREAM. But, to achieve dreams you must overcome many challenges as well as be a good person, enjoy helping people, working hard and bettering yourself. Who better to speak to and mentor young people than Derrick Kosinski, he has done it, lived it and is still dreaming big.
Derrick may be one of the smallest players, but he has a heart that cannot be matched and constantly surprises everyone with his fierce athleticism and intensity on the field. When it comes to strategy and manipulation, Derrick prefers to sit back and let others stick their necks out, while he simply flies under the radar. We last saw Derrick in a Challenge in Panama, where he was a part of the winning team on The Island. With a wife and newborn son at home, Derrick has a whole new reason to win the grand prize and he aims to do just that on The Ruins.
