From Passion to Profession: A Broadcasting Journey with Ellen Ellard

The Best You Interview Series – Interview #106

Welcome to The Best You Interview series where I’m joined by interesting people for interesting conversations about interesting things!

Sports commentating / broadcasting (particularly ⚽️) used to be a job exclusively for men. Thankfully, that is changing.

I had the chance to chat about this with Ellen Ellard who thus far has the Women’s Champions League Final, Olympic summer games, and the London Marathon on her broadcasting CV.

  • Who should watch/listen: Anyone interested in the journey of a sports broadcaster, especially those curious about the challenges and triumphs of women in the industry.
  • Your transformation: The power of resilience and dedication in breaking barriers.
  • By not watching/listening: You’ll miss out on insights into the evolving landscape of sports broadcasting.

Key takeaways:

  • Preparation is the key to success.
  • Nerves can make or break your performance.
  • High-stakes situations can lead to personal growth.
  • Facing challenges can enhance one’s skills and confidence.
  • The importance of finding and pursuing your passion in life.
