The MVP: A Conversation with Grace Coryell

Growing up, my exposure to sports came from watching The Florida Panther's hockey games on television or in person. Maybe it was the chill in the air, the ample supply of candy, or spending time with my dad, but hockey made me fall in love with sports. In college, I had friends in the sports business minor. They would describe the intricate world of a team's operations, communications, and administration. In graduate school, I created this blog not realizing its potential. I quickly learned how sharing others' stories made for more interesting pieces. I promise that this is probably one of my most interesting pieces yet.?

The blog allowed me to master the art of the "cold email" (the same premise of a cold call). I send messages to people and organizations I can only dream about meeting. I sent one of these emails to Grace Coryell. I had the opportunity to interview Coryell, Associate Director of Communications at ESPN, and learned about the wonderful world of sports communication at ESPN.
