This helps describe the Sportscasting experience and skills that have been gained over the past few years. My goal is to get my foot in the industry and find a place where I can continue to learn and grow as a broadcaster. My growth-mindset, grit, and relationship building skills make me a strong candidate for any position in the sports field. With the skills and experiences gained I feel I could make a valuable contribution to the industry.
