The Easiest Bootcamp In Town

The NFLPA, always looking out for the best interests of its players, has introduced another program to aid its members off the field.

Cris Collinsworth and Lynn Swann, get ready for some competition. The NFLPA, which is probably the most progressive and proactive players association in all American professional sports, has created another program to help its players find work in their post-career lives. The organization has just created Broadcaster Boot Camp, which will attempt to teach players the skills it takes to be successful in the field of broadcasting [Player Development: Broadcaster Boot Camp].

Agents, if your NFL clients may be thinking about entering the broadcasting booth or is interested in any media position whatsoever, you should look into enrolling them into this new program. The “boot camp” will be held from June 18th – 21st.
