I haven’t upgraded camera equipment in 6 years, simply because college is expensive. Young creatives, it’s perfectly okay to not have the newest equipment like professionals. Build your skills & story because the angles, editing, emotion, details, etc will speak louder.

Friendly remember: if you don’t like the photos teams are putting out, remind yourself that there is someone learning behind that camera or video. We all had to start somewhere, and bashing young creatives is NOT the way. I have seen this way too much this year on here.

To be in the sports industry, you must have experience. However, the financial cost of apartments, hourly wage & cost of living for experience does not equal out. Sadly, this has been one of the biggest factors of not applying to some internships opportunities I would LOVE

One advice I have for students: Go have a life ON CAMPUS — join clubs, meet new people, find a cool hobby. I wish I did so much more on campus. Your sport internship can still be a priority w/o taking over your life. You’ll be working all the time when graduating.

I said this awhile ago and a coach stopped me after a practice to say “you shouldn’t have that mindset, no one will hire you” Sir, your QB is not play DE so why should a photographer do a whole graphic branding It’s good to dabble but you don’t have to be a pro in everything

let’s stop normalizing one person doing graphics, social media + photo + video + creative for sports teams/schools. it just leads to burnout and people leaving. there’s so much that goes into each one of those roles and the people that do do everything don’t receive any grace.
