"We can't say enough about how wonderful it has been to work with Bob and Annie. Their experience and dedication are unmatched. They care deeply about what they do and the athletes with whom they work. They keep the lines of communication open long after the official sessions have ended and they are a tremendous resource to us and to our players."
- Renee Brown, Chief of Basketball Operations and Player Relations, WNBA and
Pamela Wheeler, Director, WNBPA.
"I was impressed with the care and genuine concern that Annie and Bob displayed during their interaction with our student-athletes. Their approach opened doors that made the training even more effective. The feedback we received from those who spent time with Annie and Bob was that they offered fresh perspectives. I honestly felt that several of our student-athletes displayed a higher level of confidence in media settings following their training session."
- Kenny Mossman, Sr. Associate Athletics Director/Communications, University of Oklahoma
"Annie and Bob have been in the sports communication business long enough to know how to make an impact on athletes, coaches, and administrators. They worked with all the WNBA teams this past season, and I know that we in the Phoenix Mercury organization were left more knowledgeable about how the media works today. Annie and Bob provided media training for our players with humor, an easiness that made everybody feel relaxed, and "right on" bullet points on how to communicate with the media. We know our players left the media training session in good spirits and with more confidence on what they should look for and how they should act. Thanks Annie and Bob for all your expertise!"
- Ann Meyers Drysdale, General Manager Phoenix Mercury, 2007 and 2009 WNBA Champions, and
Vice President, Phoenix Suns
"Bob and Annie understand our ever-changing world of media, and they also understand the challenges and distractions that college student-athletes face. The end result is an upbeat, highly-informative session that they custom-build for your athlete's, your team's or your school's needs."
-Dean Buchan, Assistant Athletic Director/Media Relations, Georgia Tech Athletic Association
"Sportscast Stars Training provided outstanding media training for our football team. Bob and Annie Hoffman Goodrich bring unmatched credentials to this field. Our student-athletes benefited greatly from their group presentation and individual instruction sessions."
- Christopher M. Cameron, Associate Athletics Director, Boston College
"Annie and Bob are quite personable and give a solid presentation. The key with them is that they have lived this from the other side for over six decades between them. When they relay their experiences, you can see your coaches and athletes riveted by what they have to say."
- David Plati, Associate Athletic Director/Sports Information, University of Colorado
"Annie and Bob know exactly how the business works and really provided a beneficial learning experience for our players. The media training was detailed and very productive for our student-athletes. It is great to see our players continue to use some of the tips and techniques they learned from Sportscast Stars Training."
- Jason Baum, Assistant Athletic Director, Football Media & Public Relations, Rutgers University
"Annie and Bob possess a wealth of experience in and knowledge about the communications field that they have successfully applied in their Sportscast Stars Training. The media training seminars conducted at Auburn were very informative and provided practical, sound advice for dealing with the media."
- Kirk Sampson, Assistant Athletic Director/Media Relations, Auburn University
"Bob and Annie's passion for motorsports showed in the training session they conducted for the Firestone Indy Lights, which resonated with our drivers. Their lessons were beneficial and their "ABCs of the Interview" are essential for any person in the spotlight, whether or not they are new to being interviewed."
- Arni Sribhen, Coordinator, Media Relations, Firestone Indy Lights
"I don't believe anything is more critically important within our public relations, media and communications landscape than one's credibility and Sportscast Stars Training's mission is right in line with that approach. Annie and Bob's experiences allowed them to genuinely speak from the heart, but in an interactive, tailor-made and enjoyable manner that everyone associated with our football program derived great benefit from. However, the amazing part of the presentation is that their message still clearly resonates today, even amidst constantly evolving platforms and diversions."
-Tom McClellan, Assistant Athletics Director/Media Relations, East Carolina University
"Sportscast Stars Training has a great understanding of the best interests of the student-athletes. Bob and Annie have an extensive knowledge of the media, presenting the 'do's and do not's' in a unique and entertaining way. I have no doubt our young women will benefit from the experience as they move forward this season and in the future."
- Stacey Brann, Associate Director of Athletic Communications, Rutgers University
"We had a very positive experience with Sportscast Stars Training. Annie and Bob provided a valuable perspective and were great to work with. They fostered a collaborative environment, which allowed us to tailor the training to best suit the needs of our players."
- Kevin Lorincz, Associate Director of Athletic Communications, Rutgers University
"Having Annie and Bob meet with our women's basketball team and share their expertise in developing relationships with the media was very informative for our players as they prepare for a high volume of coverage this season. As a public relations professional, I also found their presentation educational and I was able to pick up some pointers and perspectives from them that I will be able to draw on when meeting with our future student-athletes."
- Troy Andre, Assistant Sports Information Director, University of Colorado
"Bob and Annie did a wonderful job of working with our coaches and administrators at Auburn. They painted a comprehensive picture of how best to deal with the media, and they used their professional experiences to provide examples of ways to maximize media relationships. Their presentation style made for a very comfortable atmosphere where people felt like they could participate and have fun at the same time."
