Empowering Student Athletes With Media Training why media training

We can teach how to be a media star to help build your brand all day, but let’s face it, you learn a key play by practice. This is why we suggest taking your media training outside the classroom with the double play.

· Mock Interviews: Let’s start by doing an on-the-spot interview on day 1. Athletes never know when they will be interviewed so it’s important to always be ready. After the workshop we can do another on-camera interview. In the coming weeks we will compare the two and give feedback. To make sure the tips are being used, it’s suggested to come back with more mock interviews and feedback till the camera becomes as natural as a game ball.

· You’re Only as Good As Your Team: There are several times where athletes will be interviewed together, it can be for preseason, post-game, or just to get to know the team. How they represent themselves, interact, and represent the team is crucial in this setting. One bad interview can make a win be old news and they take the headline. We will take the team approach to make sure everyone is sharing the praise and getting the team’s message across.
