After joining STAA, Brett McMillan landed a dream job in his hometown as a multimedia journalist for the St. Louis Cardinals. Watch the video below to hear how an STAA membership helped Brett get the sportscasting job he wanted.
Like you, I will always be a sportscaster. Over 18 years, I sometimes struggled to pay my bills. I fought self-doubt when my career didn’t unfold as fast as I wanted. I persevered, though, and ended-up spending four years at ESPN Radio.
You can achieve your goals, too.
Looking back, I regret that I didn’t do everything I could to go as far as I could. It wasn’t lack of desire. It was because I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
You don’t have to experience those regrets. Helping you avoid them is why I started STAA in 2006.
You have ability. To take the next step, you need to know where the jobs are and how to get them. STAA will help you.

“I’ve really applied a lot of what we talked about at the retreat over the summer. That includes embracing social media and changing my basketball and football demos to fit your format better.”

“From selecting good demo material, to building a website with relevant information, to how to get, and prepare, for an interview. It’s all come together thanks to the advice I’ve received from STAA. Now, I enter the market feeling confident that I’m prepared to achieve the best possible outcome.”

What percentage of STAA members get sportscasting jobs?
Our members have accepted more than 980 jobs since 2007. That’s not a percentage, but it’s a pretty awesome rate!
What types of job leads will I receive?
On the radio side, everything from entry level jobs to network PBP, sports talk show hosting, and anchoring. For TV, sports anchor and/or reporter positions in all market sizes across the country. You’ll also receive contact info for employers of TV PBP talent.
Do employers use the website to find talent?
Yes, regularly! In fact, many employers have hired multiple STAA members.
How do I know STAA will work for me?
We can’t guarantee that STAA will work for you. Your chances for success will be determined by how much effort you put into it. It’s just like a gym membership. If you are self-motivated, you’ll do well. Passive personalities don’t do as well with STAA.
There’s so much competition, what are my real chances of getting a sportscasting job?
Assuming you have the ability and experience for the jobs for which you are applying, your chances are directly proportional to how much effort and strategy you invest into your job search. We can help you put together your best strategy for an aggressive career plan.
How many jobs are shared with STAA members that aren’t posted on the public job board?
Roughly 10% of the openings are exclusively for members, but members receive 100% of our openings before we post them publicly.
When I see on the STAA job board that “members have had their demos and resumes sent to an employer,” what does that mean?
When an STAA member has demo samples that fit a job opening within 500 miles of their location, we send a link to their STAA Talent Page or personal website to the employer.
What can I get from a membership that I can’t already get through the site for free?
In addition to everything detailed/outlined above, you will have access to the exclusive members-only section of the STAA website. It features a treasure trove of resources to help you get you next job and to help be better in your current job.
Are demo critiques part of the service?
Jon hosts a group critique of radio and television demos once per quarter (It’s one of our most popular members-only features!) This way, the advice offered to one benefits many.
