Book Description
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!

Book Description
During World War II, the civilian Office of Censorship supervised a huge and surprisingly successful program of news management: the voluntary self-censorship of the American press. In January 1942, censorship codebooks were distributed to all American newspapers, magazines, and radio stations with the request that journalists adhere to the guidelines within. Remarkably, over the course of the war no print journalist, and only one radio journalist, ever deliberately violated the censorship code after having been made aware of it and understanding its intent. Secrets of Victory examines the World War II censorship program and analyzes the reasons for its success. Using archival sources, including the Office of Censorship's own records, Michael Sweeney traces the development of news media censorship from a pressing necessity after the attack on Pearl Harbor to the centralized yet efficient bureaucracy that persuaded thousands of journalists to censor themselves for the sake of national security. At the heart of this often dramatic story is the Office of Censorship's director Byron Price. A former reporter himself, Price relied on cooperation with--rather than coercion of--American journalists in his fight to safeguard the nation's secrets.

Book Description
The world of sports psychology and in the introduction of mental skills coaches has exploded into the athletic mainstream over the last few decades. Before then, the attitude regarding such training was extremely conservative and “old school”—the prevailing philosophy was that “any athlete who needs to talk with a shrink needs to have their head examined.” Fortunately, with today’s modern athletes, the dark ages of mental training in sports have gone away and times have changed for the better. But as with any growing industry, there are lots of new and untested pathways to one’s mental performance training in practices and games. But depending on who you talk to, the advice that is given can vary widely—and sometimes, even be contradictory. The Secrets of Sports Psychology Revealed by Rick Wolff, one of the pioneers in the field of sports psychology, is based upon his many years of clinical, hands-on work with top professional and amateur athletes in a variety of sports. He provides real insight into what does—and doesn’t—work. Specifically: Do pre-game visualization techniques really work? Is it OK to be superstitious, or are those rituals counterproductive? Does taking a deep breath or two in a tight situation really help? What’s the best way to learn how to make adjustments in one’s game? These direct questions, and many others, are presented and answered in this easy to use how-to guide aimed directly at athletes and coaches. The answers are right to the point and are based upon the author’s observations and work over the years with top athletes.
