Following the “Blueprint to Broadcasting Success” has been beneficial. The self-critique sessions have been valuable and I’ve been able to self identify many weaknesses to work on. However, sometimes you need someone else’s point of view to spotlight the warts in your call. Several weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to receive a critique from Mark Boyle of the Indiana Pacers.… Read More
