You really don’t need me to figure out the secrets of sports broadcasting.Honestly, you can do it all on your own.It will only take you 25 years.The biggest secret about the sports broadcasting industry is that there isn’t just one secret, but rather a series of principles, philosophies and guidelines that can lead to success in the world of sports media. Anyone can acquire, attain and learn these secrets. For me, this took 25 years. And believe me, I’m not special. The learning continues to this day – from colleagues, students, mentors and everyone in between. One thing I learned a long time ago is that I can always be better. We learn how to excel at the craft of sports broadcasting by starting with the advice of those who have gone before us, including many well-known pioneering media voices. We can take their wisdom to heart and make it our own. That is the quickest path to sports broadcasting achievement and most solid foundation for lasting success. Over the last 25 years, I have been fortunate to learn from some of the biggest names in sportscasting. Some I have worked side by side with, in cramped broadcast booths or tight media quarters. Others have passed down their wisdom in classrooms, books, seminars or over the airwaves. They have done their best to demystify the industry, which is what I try to do every day for my online sports broadcasting students and those in the nationally-acclaimed sports department at WFUV Radio in New York City.I believe the following tips and stories are the foundation on which to build a successful sports broadcasting career. And I can say as much without pretense because they don’t belong to me. I didn’t invent these philosophies and ideas, but rather I simply boiled them down over 25 years and use them to educate the next generation of sports broadcasting professionals. I hope you enjoy these stories and use them to create the best sports broadcasting career possible!

Instead, fear caused him to pursue what others deemed appropriate, andhe committed an unforgivable mistake. But after receiving a letter from his deceased father, Gavin needs to escape.Young Horemheb from ancient Egypt also desires to alter fate. He inspires Gavin through a lost tale that spans eons and cultures, weaving their lives together. Frightening enemies, magic, unexpected friendship, betrayal, love, and death emerge at every turn.

DARKNESS AND MAGIC PLAGUE EGYPT AS DESPAIR CREEPS ACROSS THE KNOWN WORLD… Maddie, the woman Gavin loves, was abducted while they searched for ancient Egypt’s legendary Hall of Records. Now Gavin has to convince his friends to join him on an obscure path to find her—a path that has been hidden for reasons buried long ago. As Gavin struggles to find answers, the body of a young woman is discovered … Deadly obstacles spring up as Gavin and his friends are tracked by mysterious men. Uncovering the true objectives of these men is Gavin’s only hope, but it could cost him his life. Thousands of years in the past, Heb attempted to face his nemesis, Akhenaten, who rose to the throne of Egypt, but Heb was cast into slavery and Akhenaten took the beautiful Nefertiti as his queen. Ancient Egypt has fallen into turmoil with the rise of the Aten, a new type of god-king, and a purge of those who will not submit to Pharaoh’s ideologies. Now a troubled Heb must win over an odd assortment of acquaintances, learn the magic of the ancients, and face monsters that haunt the known and unknown world before seeking revenge and confronting the madness terrorizing his past.

FOR TOO MANY LONG YEARS AKHENATEN HAS REIGNED SUPREME, ENVELOPING EGYPT IN HIS SUFFOCATING SHADOW…Heb aided each of his comrades in overcoming their demons but returns from the Duat with more questions than answers. Now he must face his own dark past and relive his worst nightmare by serving his heinous former master in order to undermine him and discover the truth. But a legend has arisen about Heb, the boy who ran away, and of his cat who holds a great secret. Heb feels the pull of the darkness as he attempts to discover a lost treasure, infiltrate the god-king’s council, and take revenge upon those who dragged Egypt into chaos. How can Heb ever hope to accomplish all this with Nefertiti and the Devouring Monster awaiting him and the Dark Ones still haunting him?In the present, Maddie has turned cold and distant, traumatized from her recent ordeal. While others continue to search for the Hall of Records, Gavin will have to regain Maddie’s trust and break into a museum before discovering the answers to questions lost to the ages.The epic conclusion of the Era of Shadows series.
