Publisher's Synopsis

Are you an avid sports fan who appreciates the work of play-by-play sportscasters and would like to pursue that path in life? This book was written for you. Any questions you may have about how to get started developing your skills, what college to choose and how to begin your career are answered by experts in the field. Broadcasters of all the major team sports give you their stories of successes and mistakes, complete with advice about how to use your skills to pursue an exciting career in the booth. 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? It's all waiting for you in Sportscasting 101. If you're a sports fan, these life stories will give you insight into some of the top broadcasters in the business.
