Don’t let this emotion kill you in the sportscasting job market ________________________________________________ Arrrgh!!!! The sports broadcasting job market can be SO doggone frustrating! A sportscaster shared this struggle with me via email: “It’s official. The team I interviewed with went in another direction. Smith was always going to be hard to beat. I stand by my anger that I was part of a dog and pony show that was always going to end up with Smith getting the job. How do I get past my anger?” Anger is understandable because the job market is frustrating. But . . . You must. Let go. Of it. Anger will impact the attitude with which you pursue other jobs. I know a sportscaster who’s been repeatedly frustrated in the job market. He’s a talented guy but is not achieving the heights he thought he was going to. His anger shows through in his cover letters, and in his follow up voicemails and e-mails with employers. He didn’t realize it, but I se his anger clear as day in the cover letters he shares with me. Keep in mind that, even with a failed application, and even if you feel like you went through a dog and pony show, you gained something from the process. You spoke to the employer and you had the opportunity for them to get to know you. The person with whom you interviewed may be in charge of hiring for another employer one day. You might get that job based on this failed experience. Years ago, Alex Benzegala was hired as sports director at AM 1100 The Flag in Fargo, ND after previously interviewing unsuccessfully to another position at the station. The only person anger will ever hurt in the job market is you. You are too good to let that happen. #sportscasting, #sportsbroadcasting

How Juan Soto has just made himself $600+ Million Dollars…. ⚾️ Juan Soto has just set the stage for the largest contract AV (Average Per Year) in MLB history…. all at the age of 26, Soto has proven year after year that he the prodigal son of Major League Baseball and provides instant impact to any team he plays on. Value 🔁: To even be considered for a contract of this magnitude the trade offs between the organization and the player must be close to equal. Soto has slugged a .989 OPS with 41 home runs and an World Series berth. There’s your Value he provides Finances 💵: Since many teams have varied payrolls and amounts of money to spend this free agency the potential teams that could land the services of Soto are minimized. Since said team would have to be able to make and offer estimated to be over $620 Million Dollars to even start a conversation Prediction 🔮: Free agency is very unpredictable and is hard to get a grasp on because teams keep negotiations private and players use teams for leverage but to my knowledge i would suggest that Juan Soto sign with the….. New York Mets on a 12 year $680 Million Dollar Deal…. it just makes sense. Market of New York ✅ Energized fan base after last seasons post season success ✅ Owner willing to spend huge amounts of dollars over the upcoming years to improve the franchise ✅ and Lindor, Vientos, and Senga all guys that are fairly young and ready to improve as a franchise.

What's going to expedite growth of a sports property faster: Growing audiences through the power of athletes' social media vs the traditional coverage given by the major broadcasters? On top of big rights fees, it's the special sauce newer broadcast platforms can't fake. As sports properties, we need to build audiences and engagement between the live events if you stand a chance of growing audiences and fandom. Relying on live audiences alone is fools gold. So when sports properties like the WNBA are looking at how they grow the league, where do you put your bets and limited resources? In this day and age of the athlete economy playing such a powerful role, I'd be giving more support and rights to the athletes then be restricted by the models in place by traditional broadcasters limiting what you can and can't do with content. Let's stop defining fandom just by how many people watch a live game, and playing the same playbook we've been playing far too long to grow a sport.

With the 2024 MLB Draft in the books, let's take a look at how I would approach the process of evaluating and acquiring amateur talent for an organization. It isn't always enough to draft the best talent; you have to draft them with the understanding of how they fit in the organization, the cadence in which they arrive on the 40-man roster, and the logistics of your operations.

#Wicked's box office success may only be matched by the number of brand collaborations featuring the movie. I examined the growing use of brand collaborations and how #sportsbiz #partnership professionals can capitalize on the trend in my latest John WallStreet column.

And consider that each of those 2.2 million shots have over 90 data points combining player talent & historical ability, the exact type of shot (location, distance, off catch/dribble) and the precise location of the defense!

Wow. This is great from the Las Vegas Raiders Digital is now 100% the way of the world, but every now and then, something tangible and memorable will stand out. What I love about this is that they still use individual game tickets - it's that collectible element and having a new crisp ticket for each game. This could actually circle back round into the digital world - Season tickets could be a digital to improve on safety, efficiency and sustainability but you could still create that real game day experience with a digital booklet of tickets as a opposed to a single, season long card. Why not extend its purpose to collectible ticket stubs and other digital items or rewards, building engagement, connecting fans and importantly capturing and bringing data into the mix. There's a lot to delve and possibilities are pretty much endless, but the foundation still lies in the tried, tested and loved original way of delivering season tickets. We're entering digital fandom territory here - if you want to know more, its worth checking out Cortex who really know what they are talking about 👉 https://lnkd.in/gbHVQsVq #Fandom #DigitalFandom #SeasonTickets #DigitalTickets
