Over the course of my still-very-short broadcasting career, I have fortunately had the incredible opportunity of doing play-by-play for all three Orlando soccer teams. Last year, I was able to call two Orlando City B games, one Orlando Pride game, and one Orlando City match (on Real Radio 104.1). This past Saturday, I handled the play-by-play for OCB’s game vs. the Charlotte Independence and figured, why not write about just what goes into prepping for and broadcasting a soccer game?
Prep work for broadcasts will differ with most play-by-play guys, but for me, I take a few days to do as much research into both teams as possible.
