I read the book once before, and thought it would be wise to read it once more. Not only is the book informative, but it is all real, and being a broadcaster on the high school and J College level all of the information inside this book helped me during game time situations. This Profession means so much to me.

A little dated from when it was written, but still some great advice on sportscasting and words from some of the all-time greats.
