Publisher's Synopsis
Becoming a professional athlete is a near impossible task, but for many who can't climb that mountain the next best thing is becoming a sportscaster. Wondering how to make that dream a reality? We have some tips and techniques to get you headed down the right path.
You'll read about Hall of Fame qualities and how they were developed by Eric Nadel of the Texas Rangers. Should you decide to attend a trade school, as Bill Schoening of the San Antonio Spurs did? Or is Syracuse the university for you, as it was for Todd Kalas, Robert Ford and Charlie Pallilo? Are you a former athlete like Glenn Davis who needs to get some training for play-by-play, as he did before moving into the play-by-play chair for the Houston Dynamo? He'll give you some coaching. How did Josh Bogorad of the Dallas Stars outwork everybody else to get into pro hockey? Why did Brad Sham choose Missouri and then how did he reach the top level of broadcasting as the voice of the Dallas Cowboys? Did Marc Vandermeer have a smooth road to the Houston Texans? What does Nate Gatter say about his experience at Missouri? Why have so many good broadcasters come from Sam Houston State?
