ADVICE FOR WORKING IN SPORTS
Back for another part to this series!
1. Asking questions is crucial to growth. There’s so many times I had no idea what I needed to do especially when I started and everyone around me was so willing to help. Don’t be afraid to ask because everyone understands and has been in that position before.
2. Take risks and try new things! Especially in sports media because this industry is all about being revolutionary and going out of the box. It’s also great for your growth!
3. Networking is so beneficial. I know everyone says this because it is true. An example is just shaking the people’s hand when you get in the media room or commenting on other creators work! It helps to build those connections!
