On December 1st, we had the pleasure of chatting with Monday Night Football and NBA Sideline Reporter, Lisa Salters. Salters was named the sideline reporter for MNF in April 2012. She contributes to weekly game telecasts, as well as the NFL Wild Card and Pro Bowl Games. During ESPN studio shows on Mondays leading up to MNF games, Salters provides team reports from the stadium. Salters has been part of NBA coverage on ESPN and ABC since 2005. Her role includes the high-profile NBA Saturday Primetime and NBA Sunday Showcase games. Before arriving at ESPN, Salters worked for ABC News. Salters graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism.
We chatted about how her early news career prepped her to make the transition into sports, how important it is to maintain a work/life balance throughout the year and advice she has for the next group of women coming up, along with how men can be an ally in this industry. #ESPN #MNF #PennState #GoDucks #sportsbiz #smsports #broadcast #netoworking #NFL
