Energy: We are not looking for a typical announcer. Your first priority is to feel the moment and transfer that energy to the crowd. Fans want to be part of the excitement, and it's your job to make them feel the action. Every announcement is an opportunity to get the crowd on their feet. Remember, your energy is the fuel that powers the crowd.

Stay excited, stay enthusiastic, and make each announcement a reason for the fans to get even more pumped up about the game! You're not just announcing the plays-you're creating the experience.
