Anne Marie Anderson is a multiple Emmy award winning veteran sports broadcaster who has spent her career studying what makes a high performer. Over the course of her career she has covered six Olympic games, NBA Playoffs, the Superbowl, Golf’s majors, MLB Playoffs, heavyweight title fights and big games in a variety of collegiate and professional sports.
Anderson takes her insider's view gained through working with athletes and journalists at ESPN, NBC, ABC and other networks and draws the connection to how those qualities can be transferred to the boardroom or classroom.
The youngest person to produce ESPN's Olympic coverage beginning with USA Basketball's Dream Team at the 1992 Olympics, Anderson weaves stories of her experiences reporting on top athletes into a plan to select the right "team" to level up any business.
As one of a handful of women in the SportsCenter newsroom in 1989 as ESPN turned 10 years old, Anne Marie entertains with stories of the network's inner machinery while constantly changing her role to eventually become one of the earliest women to sit full time in the play by play chair until then primarily occupied by men.
What qualities do elite athletes have in common? What sets a high performer apart from the perfunctory? Anne Marie Anderson inspires with stories of observation her lens of a life in sports.
