Don’t worry cuz I got u

I'm also currently a journalism student, and 100% agree with Ty's description. It's EXACTLY what I've been told.

Literally what I was thinking lol

I’m going in to broadcasting and sometimes I really doubt myself. Do you have anything to say to encourage me, I’m in my freshman year so it’s a little hard right now

@@HaydenCokerShow2.0 I would simply say enjoy it and remember that everything will work out. There might be times where it seems that you are not as good as those in your class or everything is so overwhelming, but if you just put in the time and effort necessary, it will all work out.

Or start screwing one

That’s how the major networks are. If you have a pulse and once played in the NFL or NBA, you’re in!

You're honestly right though, you instantly get the job and have tons of followers already and you're extremely successful. It's hard for new people to get into the door at places like that because they Hire a ton of retired players. Your chances of beating them out are slim to none.

Not true. I can name like 10-15 former players that had high success in media. Pat is 1... I can name like 50+ sports media broadcasters/journalists that made a living from this and never played sports. The top, highest paid guys didn't come from being pro athletes they came from media.

Noted 👍

Love your content.

I’m a high school student and I’ve thought about going into to sports journalism and broadcasting because I love talking about sports and I feel like I have a little bit of a knack for it, but I’m not sure because I don’t want to be just sitting as like an intern as ESPN or whatever for half my life.

@@wildfirekkfires4523 if this is what you're passionate about I'd advise you to consider it. I'm a junior journalism major. It's a hard field to get into but I feel that once you're in and prove yourself you'll find opportunities. You may need to intern for someone like ESPN temporarily, but you should get a lot out of it. Also it's not going to be half your life. Internships last a few months, maybe a year. Once you complete them it's likely to either get you a better opportunity with that company or a useful reference to work for someone else. From my experience it seems like is a business where companies promote from within, and if you do what you're supposed to you'll likely get a higher position.

Hey man, I’m actually the kid who asked the question and I’m a freshman at community college with all the pandemic stuff going on, but was hoping to go to Mizzou, and probably going to transfer there. Any tips on starting a brand? I currently write stories for our schools paper and want to start a channel where I talk about sports, but don’t have the luxury of all the equipment at this moment. Any tips or advice you can give is much appreciated. Open to all things!

@@braedenrockwell1642 You don't need fancy equipment to get started. If you have a phone or a laptop and a mic you can create videos or podcasts or whatever else you want. They may not be great now but they can only get better. My advice would be to continue writing for your school's paper, but when you go to Mizzou or wherever you end up start writing for their paper day one. At the end of the day just do it, I feel like the hardest thing about journalism is getting started so once you clear that hurdle you should be able to get the help you need to take the next step.

jordan kendall much love my man. appreciate the feedback. any work you have out there that I can give a look? or socials?

Do it man! I run a sports podcast and have been doing sports related stuff for broadcasting since high school. Go for it! Hell I only get a few views but it still puts you ahead of the ballgame. Anything you can do to make yourself standout, go do it and live it up!

I’m also majoring in communications if u need another voice for ur channel hmu😂

Ehhh, I wouldn't say a 5 minute video with a handful of different people's perspective would mean you have the 'tools'. Tools are molded over time - with experience, knowledge, and skills. After watching this video, I'd say you have a starting point to be a sports broadcaster. Keep working my dude, and good luck.

Whats his youtube

You don’t

Usually Former Players and sometimes Coaches Son's....... my Sister knows a scout named Zack Crockett for the LV Raiders and He played for them

Go to a school that you’ll be able to get experience while you’re getting the diploma

@@jaydentaylor4299 I’ve been homeschooled my whole life i forgot to mention that.

Never too late

Keep grinding.

Are you a sports journalist?

Hey, I’m the one who asked Pat in this segment. Appreciate what you have to say. I’m actually going for Journalism as a whole, but it got roped into sports journalism. I’ll take your advice though. God bless!

@@braedenrockwell1642 how has it gone

@@braedenrockwell1642any success?
