Top tips for sports broadcasting

Today, I was listening in to a commentary of a certain football match and was unaware of the score after 6 minutes of listening. If you are doing a live commentary at a sports event, the number one thing listeners who “station switch” want to know is the score. So tell it. Every 3 minutes.

Actually this is a good point, I’m sure the BBC have rules about it.
I was Grammarian at Toastmasters last week and my word of the evening was “perception,” thought you might like to know. My confidence with public speaking is building up.

Such strong language. In actual fact, it wasn’t Radio 5 (although commentators there have been guilty in the past)
