Well, I have reach the last week of my internship here at ESPN! I can't believe that it's almost over! It's going to be weird to leave after being here for 10 weeks, but I knew this day would come faster than I thought it would. I have still been editing like crazy and I'm still learning more and more every day. I recently completed a Patriots vs. Colts Matchup montage and I was ecstatic when ESPN's First Take wanted to run it at the very beginning of their show on ESPN2!! Their producers were very impressed and my montage opened the 1st segment of the show on Wednesday (Nov. 11). Maybe someone reading this saw it and I hope you enjoyed it and that it got you excited for the big game this weekend (GO COLTS)!!!!

On that same Wednesday, I was able to hold a video conference (via Skype) with the SportsCasting class back as ASU. This is a class taught by my ASU-TV supervisor Mr. Collin Pillow, who wanted me to share experiences, stories, and advice to the my fellow students back at school. They all had some great questions for me and it was just great to see some familiar faces for the first time in 8 weeks. I hope to be able to share more experience and stories with all my friends and fellow classmates.

I again just want to thanks everyone for the support and encouraging comments to this blog. I hope maybe continue this blog with stories from this internship and possibly what's going on with my experience back at school; and who knows where my career takes me. Although "Live from ESPN" will be ending, my career doesn't! The Sports Broadcasting world is always changing and I hope to be able to share all my experiences with you all!!

You can be guaranteed that I'll be writing one more blog from ESPN that'll let everyone know how my final evaluation goes and just to wrap up my time here!!



"The Half-Way Point!!"
Posted Sunday, October 25, at 1:15 PM

Well, I've reached the end of my 5th week here at ESPN!! I just found out that I'm meeting/exceeding all the expectations that they had set forth for me on my 30-day evaluation!! I'm so glad that I'm impressing not only my supervisors and coordinators, but I'm really starting to feel like I'm one of the editors here at ESPN! All my fellow editors have been impressed with my work and my passion for editing sports! I have actually gotten the chance to be in an edit room without a trainer, and I have proven that I've learned how to edit without having someone check my work. ...



Two More Weeks Gone By
Posted Monday, October 12, at 8:53 AM

Hi Everybody!! Sorry it's been a couple of weeks since I've checked in, but things at ESPN can get really busy at times. I'm still learning a whole lot and all my trainers and supervisors have been giving me nothing but good feedback on my work. It seems like I'm doing a highlight for SportsCenter nearly every night , maybe even two games a night. ...



"Highlights" of Week 2!
Posted Tuesday, September 29, at 3:20 PM

This week was all about the highlights! In five days of work, I cut and edited 4 games for highlight purposes. Each highlight was uniquely different in their own way. When I cut a highlight for one game, I actually have to make anywhere from 1-4 different versions of that highlight due to differences in shows. ...



The First Week
Posted Monday, September 21, at 10:05 AM

Well, I've officially started my internship and I've been on the job for a week now! It's a very awesome feeling to be an employee of ESPN! I think the coolest thing is when a famous athlete or ESPN personality walks right by me in the same hallway. ...



My arrival...
Posted Wednesday, September 16, at 2:02 PM

Well, I have arrived in Bristol after a very long two-day trip and over 20 hours on the road. The drive was very nice and easy until my GPS made me go through New York City, which wasn't very fun at all. I have gotten to meet my roommates and get settled in at my new apartment that ESPN is providing. ...
