Welcome to Sports-Ish with Elisa Hernandez. What made you love sports? I share the teams that shaped my fandom and how my relationship with my brothers tied into my decision to enter the sports industry. (7:38) I talk about how attending USC allowed me to grow and meet ESPN’s Shelley Smith who taught me the importance of being the “whole package”. (12:51) I share some of my stand-ups from college and how I learned to dress like a professional and block out the noise when shooting LIVE shots especially when working with LakersTV. (16:36) With the sports industry being so small I tell how full circle moments will come about in different ways. L.A. broadcast legend Jim Hill played a big role in one of my biggest full circle moments in my career. (21:51) Listen to another clip of my “Behind the Facemask” series from USC featuring NFL cornerback Nickell Robey and how that project allowed me to have the skills to connect with players and make me a better reporter. (26:13) Lastly, I share one of my favorite quotes and some final full circle moments. Listen Now!
