Get active in all sports you can in school so that you understand how it is played and have the experience, too.\nBe really good with math, because you will have to be good with statistics, averages, and stuff like that.\nBe really good in writing, so that you can communicate with people when you put your thoughts to pen.\nKnow some of your history, as history plays a part in how different sports came to be, and how they change through the years.\nSubscribe to newspapers or magazines that have good feature writers, to study their technique.\nVolunteer to help with your local paper, to help proof stories, to do some of the photography, to interview people.\nTake Speech class, so that when you stand before people at sports presentations, you have confidence, and your voice and body language will be good.\nFind some people who are willing to let you tag along and learn beside them.\nWork for the best grades in school, so that you will qualify for scholarships to colleges or universities that have programs or degrees that will help you land a good job when you graduate.\nYou will need a bachelors (4 yr) degree minimum, but do shoot for a masters.  You will get the better jobs, better interviews, have a more comfortable living.\n\nGood luck to you.  Remember to be truthful, honest and fair when you do this career.  You don't want to loose your integrity or credibility.

Work your way up. Try to be a personal assistant or intern at a record label. Or you can constantly enter contests.

You will probably have to get a BS degree in either Journalism, Communications, or possibly English and that will take around 4 years.  I would find a local newspaper and talk to the editor, if possible and find out if you can do an internship or possibly some part time work, which may help youw hile you complete your degree.

Start off by volunteering at a HS or little league team. \n\nOr if you are in college, get in touch with the school team and see about being a manager and there you can get a lot of good knowledge by watching all the practices.

You would need to major in journalism and communications.

Try communications and attempt to become a reporter for that team, a broadcaster, or media technology. A lot of pro sport teams have these in order to keep their company running and the guys playing. In addition, they want highly trained people in order to fulfill these goals.

Well, I am a writer and let me tell you something being a journalist is beyond cool it is powerful. You have the ability to not only express your opinions, you also have the power to reveal injustice and induce change. Positively contirbute to the betterment of the world around you. It is also an opportunity for you to grow as a person, gain knowledge of those around you. teach you discipline and study habits. It just encourages you to be more open minded, well rounded and Ignorance is simply lack of knowledge and the best way to combat ignorance is knowledge. If you are considering that as a future career and feel led to do it. GO FOR IT!!!! You will not regret it. Good Luck Yohanna Ramirez PS you have to be dedicated it is alot of work and is not for the faint of heart.

Just pop down your local job centre, fill in a few forms, and hey presto!\n\nBasically, if you are not signed up with a club by the age of 14, you will never play high level football.

You could start by just make sure your doing your best at your events and meets. This means doing well enough to go to state and regional competitions. You can also decide what college you want to go to and see if you can go to any camps or events to see how much competition and hard work it takes to do this as a career. Make sure though above all other things that you keep your grades very high, this will allow to be able to get a scholarship with your athletic talents. Also keep focused on what you want to do, not what others want and expect out of you.

Race to start with and if you do that make a name for your self by winning and competing. If you done that then maybe start advertising yourself to owners. Kinda like what Carl Edwards did. You might start out on different team but you can trade up after contract up. Good Luck On Life

Scouts come and watch games and stuff. If you're talented they'll offer a scholarship. When you get to highschool try out for the team all years and such. That's really the only way.

Try to get a scout to see your talents so join a local team and see if a scout can come see you but it's much easier to go pro from college because scouts go there to search for new talent
