Kate Scott has always been a baller. Like many kids growing up, the California native would play basketball in the streets, but she noticed there weren’t many women on TV that were talking about sports.
After watching some of the greats like Linda Cohn and Robin Roberts on SportsCenter, Scott knew by the time she headed off to college that she wanted to get into sports broadcasting with the goal of becoming a sideline reporter or studio anchor. It wasn’t until after college that Scott started thinking about calling games as a career path.
“It was either my junior or senior year at [University of California, Berkeley] when I first heard Beth Mowins and Pam Ward calling football for ESPN,” Scott says.
