Love it, Reva! Thank you for that advice! #SMStudentChat #SMSports

@SMStudentChat A8: Try everything! Get your hands on every part of working in social or digital media: pick up a camera, learn photoshop, practice your copywriting skills, network! Know your worth and don’t give up just because you hear a lot of no. All you need is one yes. #SMStudentChat

[Adam White @FOSAdam]

@SMStudentChat A8: Any type of Adobe Suite skill is critical.

Also being able to be both a thinker and a doer. Many can do things or be told what to do and execute, not many can take it a step further and build a strategy behind the execution.

Q9: What is your prediction for how #SMSports might evolve in the next year? #SMStudentChat

[Vincenzo Landino @vincenzolandino]

@SMStudentChat A6, Challenges: knowing your fans and focusing on them. Also, figuring out how to standout without losing your brand

Opportunities: fan UGC and using data/analytics to give fans "power" to shape content.

@vincenzolandino Love that point about UGC! #SMStudentChat #smsports

Q8: What skills or experiences can students build now to make them a great candidate for #SMSports jobs? #SMStudentChat

[Reva Labbe Kingsbury @sorevawaslike]

@SMStudentChat A6: One of the biggest challenges is that there are so many different ways for fans to consume sports media these days, so finding the ways to stick out above the crowd is what everyone is chasing. #SMStudentChat

Q7: What is the best example of a #SocialWin or #SocialFail in #SMSports? #SMStudentChat

[Adam White @FOSAdam]

@SMStudentChat A6: I think the biggest things is trying to own the audience they have.

Every team is different and expect different things, yet many take similar approaches.

The challenges are finding ways to stand out and do it for the fans and not for the industry.

[Reva Labbe Kingsbury @sorevawaslike]

@SMStudentChat A5: There are so many! If you’re interested in social media and sports to keep your eye on #smsports. Also love the insight that @frntofficesport and industry leaders like @WarJessEagle bring. Also I’m bias but I’m a big fan of our @ESPN and @SportsCenter accounts! #SMStudentChat
