Sadly working as a freelance means he has to rush back to London and do some work urgently. He has no idea when and where work will turn up – which he says can be quite worrying.
He is currently doing a quick Q&A and explaining how he gained experience and made his way to where he is now.
Talking about his career and how he got the opportunity to work at the NFL!
“I should probably retire, it doesn’t get much better than this!” – His thoughts after working at the NFL in Los Angeles.
He did a BA in International Politics which he didn’t enjoy too much! He played a lot of sport at uni which he said got him through it. He took a year out gaining experience and travelling before applying for a MA in Sports Journalism at the University of Lincoln.
Having a broad knowledge of sport allows you to work a lot more – and opens up more opportunities. However, as long as you research events and sports before working for them you should be okay.
Top Tip: Study the way presenters work for that certain field. For example if you’re covering a football match try and listen to the way it is presented.
Being able to name drop is something he loves about his job! He gets to travel a lot and finds that people are often interested in what he does.
“Don’t be put down by rejections.”
