Sports media people, I could genuinely use some help.

I’m a photographer/videographer trying to get my foot in the door full-time in sports media, especially women’s basketball, but I’m open to basketball, NFL, golf, soccer, etc.

I’ve been freelancing, building my portfolio and getting real experience, but I’m having a hard time figuring out my way into the actual industry. I apply, network and keep working, but sometimes it feels like so much of sports is agencies, referrals and who already knows who.

Right now I also NEED professional references for some opportunities I’m applying to.

If anyone here works in sports/media and would be willing to connect, look at my work and potentially be a reference for me if you feel comfortable doing so, I would seriously appreciate it.

Even if you can’t be a reference, if you know agencies, recruiters, teams, people I should reach out to or just have advice on how you found your way in, I’m listening.

I know I can do the work. I just genuinely need some help figuring out how to get through the door.
