Writing and sports are my passion, so it only seems fitting that I combine them together in hopes to one day become a sports journalist. As of right now, I'm on the right track.
My name is Melissa Sabile, I'm 24 years old and I am the sports editor of the Spartan Daily at San Jose State University. In the Fall of 2010, I went to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Reno, Nevada, and Honolulu, Hawaii along with the games played at Spartan Stadium to cover the SJSU football team, only for them to loose each of those games. Although the team lost, my experiences were far more valuable, because I was not simply staying in San Jose to write.
I've also covered gymnastics, soccer, water polo, hockey, baseball, basketball and any other sport on campus you could think of. In addition to SJSU sports, I've also had the pleasure of interviewing players from professional teams, such the San Jose Sharks and the San Francisco 49ers. I hope to one day be able to interview and write about many more professional teams.
I don't know exactly what I want to do after college, but I do know that I don't want to be on TV. I have anxiety when it comes to public speaking and I freeze up. So, I stick to being behind the desk. It's my comfort zone and my words are better flowing on paper rather than stuttering out of my mouth.
