In this episode, we’re going to explore Colin’s career—how he got his start in sports journalism, the steps he took to earn his spot covering the Hawkeyes, and what it’s really like to report from the sidelines of Kinnick Stadium on game day. And trust me, you’ll want to hear the details of what goes into those big moments—both on and off the field. Colin’s message is an interesting one for anyone hoping to break into sports media or any role in this industry. So stick around, because by the end of this episode, you’ll not only have a better sense of what it takes to succeed but also some tips and inspiration for pursuing your own goals in the world of sports. **GAME WITHIN THE GAME is a show that takes a deep dive into what it’s like to work in sports, and how to set yourself up on the path to pursue a career in sports. Simply put, sports have always been more than just a passion, they’re a calling. But what fascinates me most isn’t just the games themselves. It’s the people—the ones who dedicate their lives to capturing, building, and telling the stories of sports. I want to learn from them, share their experiences, and help anyone out there who’s trying to pave their own path in this competitive field. My listeners will benefit from my podcast due to my engaging questions and responses, my high energy, and being able to learn new information. The main central question I hope my podcast is able to answer is: what is it like to be an important part of a competitive sports team even if it’s not being an athlete?
