• Plan camera placement and coverage across the course.
• Communicate clearly with crew over headset during live production.
• Make fast decisions to follow key players, shots, and storylines as play develops.
• Troubleshoot technical and workflow issues during the broadcast.

• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills.
