2. Greg Hughes is a young man just graduating from
high school beginning his first year of college. I
grew up in multiple states across America and
even lived in Europe due to my father being in the
military. This has allowed me to be very sociable
with all types of people regardless of gender, race,
or ethnicity. I have always loved sports and how it
brings joy to others. My goal is to bring my
passion for sports into a career one day into the
field of sportscasting.

14. Greg Hughes
You know [the majority of sports channels views
isn’t well diverse and is mainly middle aged men in
their 30’s? Well, what I do is take our sports into the
social media field because that’s where young people are viewing content. In
fact, over 75% of teen have a social media account this allows ESPN to
connect with its viewers even more. My teacher Ms. Heinze always told me
while attending high school I was great at getting the other students involve in
school social media events.
