How Do You Find Your Voice in a Competitive Industry? | Lyndsey Gough

Sport is crowded. Everyone’s trying to stand out, but how do you do that without losing what makes you, you? This week on Chasing a Roster Spot, Lyndsey Gough chats with Kolby Wohl and Luke Short. Lyndsey talks about finding her voice, building real confidence, and figuring out how to get taken seriously in a space where everyone’s hustling. Lyndsey also shares lessons from her path from student internships at the University of Kentucky to reporting on major sporting events and becoming the first woman to hold the position of Sports Director in the Savannah, Georgia area. She emphasizes the importance of gaining experience, learning from feedback, handling criticism, and discovering what makes your work distinctive. Professor Kwame Agyemang continues the discussion during Office Hours, examining the lessons Lyndsey’s journey offers students and early-career professionals about developing their professional voice and finding their own position without losing who they are. Chasing a Roster Spot is produced by the Future of Sport Institute at the University of Kentucky.
