"YSN has been a fantastic experience for me. It helped me learn lessons on sports broadcasting and professionalism from sports professionals who can also become your mentors. If you have an interest in this field, there is no doubt you should apply for acceptance. I highly recommend it."

Ian Nikkel

"The YSN Sports Broadcasting Academy is the class to take if you are serious in becoming a sports journalist. Not only do you learn good techniques when it comes to sports reporting, you meet professionals already in the field on a weekly basis and get the opportunity to pick their brains. Also, the President of the academy, Jaime Rivera, works nonstop to schedule job shadowing opportunities for you in your area and, if you are committed to this field, he will continue to mentor you long after you complete the program. And if that isn’t enough, you will learn business etiquette to help you overall as a professional. In conclusion, the YSN Sports Broadcasting Academy helped strengthen my resolve on becoming a sports broadcaster and I am sure it will do the same for you."
