Lisa Byington is truly a pioneer in the sports broadcasting space, becoming the first woman in history to call March Madness on network television earlier this spring.
As she paves the way for the next wave of women in sports, LB continues to normalize female voices on major television broadcasts. Later this summer, she will call men's and women's soccer at the Olympic Games for NBC Sports.
Throughout our convo we talk about Byington's journey to play by play, how she gets better, AND even how she still feels the nerves before each broadcast.
