CBS Sports Director Mark Grant Discusses His Preparation Process; Offers Advice to Next Generation
Interview dives into preparing a camera crew, diversity in the work force, and more
Story Highlights
Veteran live sports director Mark Grant reached the pinnacle of his accomplished career this year when he worked at the front bench of the 2023 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four and the National Championship Game for CBS Sports. In doing so, he also became the first person-of-color to direct a major American sports television championship on television.
How did he grow during the long journey of his career and what advice would he offer aspiring live sports directors? In a one-on-one interview with SVG, Co-Executive Director, Editorial Ken Kerschbaumer, Grant discusses that and more, including how he prepares for big-time events, how he’d call a game with fewer resources, and what the future holds for diversity at the front bench.
