Phil Shomo Coaching: Adversity to Advantage

04 - TOBY ROWLAND: Confidence grows at the intersection of preparation and experience


Listen Later

FOREVERLEARNING is one of my core values and one of the things I love pursuing is wisdom and insight from experts in a wide variety of industries and careers that can be translated into my work with athletes.

Consistent with that pursuit I’m going to do some interviews around the topic of handling pressure I’m calling THE VOICE OF THE PRESSURE PERFORMER.

Today we’ll dip into the world of Sports Broadcasting with my first guest for this new series, the Voice of the Oklahoma Sooners, TOBY ROWLAND.

Toby grew up a die-hard Sooners fan having spent his early childhood in Oklahoma before moving to Indiana for his high school years where he fell in love with the Cincinnati Reds, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Indiana Pacers. After graduating High School Toby returned to Oklahoma for college where he played basketball before launching Southern Nazarene University’s first-ever Sports Information Department. After college, Toby had a very successful career in both radio and television sports before getting the opportunity in 2009 to become the sideline reporter for the Oklahoma Sooners football broadcasts.

In 2011, Toby was introduced as the Voice of the Oklahoma Sooners replacing the broadcasting legend, Bob Berry who’d served in that role for 50 years. Over the last 9 years, Toby has cemented himself as a gifted broadcaster for Sooner-nation, coining familiar phrases and making his voice synonymous with the success of Sooner athletics including the nationally decorated Oklahoma Sooners football program.

It is a huge honor to have Toby as my guest on this brand new series called THE VOICE OF THE PRESSURE PERFORMER.
