What You Need To Know If You Want A Career In Sports Media.
by Gina Miller
Working in sports media is a blast BUT it's not nearly as glamorous as it seems.
You will do more research as a sports media professional than you ever did in school.
Working Games
- You don't watch games.
- You cover them.
- There's no cheering in the press box. Ever.
- There will be a point when covering games becomes a beating.
Relationships are important.
Your paycheck will be small at the start of your career.
Think peanuts.
If you're a woman, expect to be judged. Harshly.
You will see naked people.
You MUST be a pro about it.
People notice if you aren't.
Remain humble.
Be yourself.
Have fun.
Additional Things To Consider:
- Internships are critical to your success.
- Leverage your "new media" expertise.
- You gotta network to get work.
- Be adaptable.
- Continue to learn.
