Lesson Learned: Being a sports reporter isn't so easy


Working at a small news station pretty much means at sometime or another you’ll have to learn how to do everything or at least get the chance to. While I usually stick to covering news, during football season the sports department needs as much help as it can get. So, a news employee like myself is recruited to shoot high school games on Friday nights. I had no idea what to expect. I grew up in downtown Chicago and my high school didn’t even have a football team so I had never experienced the world of Friday Night Lights.  But after successfully making it through my first season as a high school football cameraman, one thing is for sure, being a sports reporter isn’t so easy….lesson learned.

 To show you what I’m talking about check out this video.
