Every single game I create spotting boards. The challenge about creating high school spotting boards is the lack of information and statistics available. A majority of the games I broadcast I am seeing the opposing team and speaking with the Head Coach for the first time. Sometimes, when there is a girls and guys game on the same day, I create up to four spotting boards for an evening. At the beginning of the season I created a spotting board template on Google Sheets, but then adjusted it dozens of times to make it perfect for me and make myself as comfortable as I possibly can be. The best advice (and most reiterated) advice I get from professional broadcasters is that preparation is key. It is so important, and my spotting boards are a summary of the extensive preparation I put into my games.
