What You Need
You should have at least 1 to 3 years of experience in sports writing. Experience covering college basketball, college football, or high school football is a strong plus.
A solid grasp of American football and its culture is important. You’ll need proven skills in content strategy, editing, and coming up with story ideas. Managing your time well is critical, especially when working remotely.
Staying updated on teams, players, and events in college basketball and football will set you apart. Knowing the local high school sports scenes and having connections in those communities will be a bonus.
