MEDIA TRAINING
STUDENT ATHLETES

Media training for student athletes is about much more than teaching them what to say to please the media and gain more coverage. Student Athletes are under intense scrutiny any time they’re in public. They need to be prepared to handle this adeptly and strategically, just as they are prepared to excel in their sport.  Our training program is geared toward helping young impressionable athletes understand the value in protecting their brand.

 

Our media training for athletes goes far beyond tips, do’s and don’ts, and practice interviews. We work with athletes to help them understand the strategy behind shaping their public image and working with the media.
