Four sports broadcasters have a few things in common when it comes to their rise through the ranks of sports journalism and what they have learned along the way.
Pam Oliver, Lisa Salters and Maria Taylor joined ESPN"SportsCenter" host Sage Steele forspeaker series to discuss of how each has navigated the intricacies of the sports broadcasting landscape and honed their craft.
Pam Oliver, Lisa Salters and Maria Taylor talk with Sage Steele during ABC's Black History Month: Let's Talk Speaker Series at ABC News studios, Feb. 10, 2020, in New York City.Oliver remembered a former news director who told her the move from news to sports would be"the biggest mistake" of her career. Looking back now, she said,"it worked out perfectly for me."
Taylor, who was a dual sport Division 1 athlete at University of Georgia, rose through the ranks to become an analyst and host for ESPN and the SEC Network rather quickly. She said, in part, that women like Oliver and Salters had paved her path to success by creating a"tangible" blueprint.Taylor said she"really felt like it was possible" despite the fact that professors would tell her she'd"nevre make money in sports. It'll never work out.
Taylor shared an inspirational quote that she said has stuck with her through her grind:"If you live for the sound of applause then you'll die from the lack of it." "It's kind of 'do what you love and the rest will follow,' but we're very, very lucky women," she said.
