Three, two, and one. Sound up full, take intern!

Hi, I’m Kelsey, the Wavy sports intern for the summer. I started this internship back in May and was quickly introduced to the sports team. Brian Parsons, Chris Reckling, Ahmed Fareed, and of course Bruce Rader. When I first started this internship I was told, “At the end of the summer, you may not know if the media world is where you want to be, but you’ll definitely know if it’s NOT where you want to be.” Needless to say I was a little scared because, well, I have no plan B. Fortunately, this internship has proved not only informative and educational, but also a whole lot of fun, because there really is never a dull minute within the sports department.

So, what does a Wavy sports intern actually do? It’s a lot of observing, whether I’m watching interviews with Tides athletes, horse trainers, or World Series bound poker players or simply watching the news from the control room, I’m learning a lot. And I hope I can take all I’ve learned so far and put it to good use tomorrow, when I conduct my own interview. I came up with some questions, but needless to say I’m still a little nervous. However, I think I’ve had some pretty good teachers, I mean if Bruce Rader can do it so can I. Well, I wish I could make it look that easy.

In Portsmouth, Kelsey Webb, for the sports blog.
