Mike Tirico grew up loving sports. But he didn’t perform as well on the playing fields as he did in the classroom. In high school, Mike set his sights on entering Syracuse University to become a professional sports broadcaster. After a decades-long career, Mike is still going strong as the prime-time host of NBC’s Olympics coverage and the cohost of Sunday Night Football. Part of the Award-Winning Sports Broadcasters series, Mike Tirico tells the story of how a young boy from Queens grew up to become a fixture on television each week for sports fans across the United States.

Award-Winning Sports Broadcasters Series

Devoted fans watch and listen each week as their favorite teams vie for the top honors in their chosen sport. These spectators depend on sports broadcasters to report every detail of what happens on the playing fields. The journalists offer insight into how each game is won or lost, and what will likely happen next. Some sports broadcasters even played a sport professionally themselves in the past. The Award-Winning Sports Broadcasters series discusses the lives and careers of Malika Andrews, Mike Breen, Nate Burleson, Cris Collinsworth, Holly Rowe, and Mike Tirico. With striking color photographs, a fun Find Out More section, and a useful index, this series will engage readers looking to learn more about these sports journalists, many of whom have as many fans as the professional athletes they cover.
