And i was, for the lack of a better word, shiet! Listening to myself utter rubbish was definitely a new low on my attempt to break into the male-dominated industry of football punditry/sports journalism. Who am I kidding? I’m not technical in my football knowledge and it does not help that I was ill-prepared. But rather than wallow in self-pity, I just have to pick myself up and work harder.
Hubby mentioned that I would need to take up a public speaking course because I stumble a lot on my sentences, and I took so long to find the right word sometimes. What can I say…I was initimidated. Neil Humphreys, Mayur Bhanji and Jason Dasey were season pros when it comes to footie talk. Chris reckoned I’d need a few drinks to loosen. He did give me a neat idea to have an all-girls podcast.
“So what do you think of mohawks everyone is sporting” “Who’s hotter: Torres or AVB?”
I wish I could impress Jason Dasey more but the nerves and mental exhaustion (read: lack of sleep) got the better of me.
In the meantime, feel free to have a listen. Let the bashing and facepalms begin: http://footballfeverpodcast.com/podcast/FootballFeverPodcast06_171011_BackbeatStudios.mp3
