Being a sports fan is only the first step. (To a sports media career)

Moving from the couch to the broadcast booth is about shifting from watching the game to building it. You don’t need to be a tech wizard to start; you just need to be a fan who wants to know how the “magic” happens. Here are a few ways to get your foot in the door in Charlotte:

• Camera Operator: Keeping the action in the frame from the sidelines.
• Production Assistant: Handling logistics and supporting the crew on site.
• Audio Assistant: Setting up the mics that catch the sounds of the game.
• Video Editor: Clipping big plays for social media in real time.
• Technical Director: Switching camera angles during the live broadcast.
• Stats Researcher: Feeding live data to the announcers during the game.

Mastering these tools gives you the power to shape how others see the game. Whether it is through a podcast, a documentary, or a live stream, professional skills ensure your voice is heard.
