Diamond Eye Sports is an exclusive magazine that’s “for the students by the students”. Diamond Eye was created with the goal of bringing to the forefront a sports community and market that seldom gets the recognition it warrants.
Diamond Eye Sports magazine will give, high school athletes and their coaches the exposure they deserve by highlighting their sportsmanship and efforts. Diamond Eye will also give parents, friends, and neighbors a media outlet that will afford them the opportunity to witness the accomplishments of the fine young athletes they know through this creative, eye catching, and inspirational sports magazine.
But it doesn’t end there. Diamond Eye Sports’ ultimate mission is to draw national attention to our student athletes so that more opportunities become available for them giving them a chance to build their brand and reputation before high school ends.
One distinguishing character of Diamond Eye Sports is that it is, in part, a magazine crafted “for athletic students by fellow students (of media). What better way for young athletes to express their game highlights of the day, just the way they want to, than through a magazine that can appreciate their sport and raw talent of each individual student.
##There is also another side to Diamond Eye Sports that include educating the interns, about the potential of pursuing careers in the field of sports media management. Presently, the business of sports is estimated to be a $210 billion dollar industry. According to “Sports Business Journal”, that figure is twice the size of the United States Auto Industry and seven times the size of the movie industry. As the number of national sports venues and athletes increase there will a greater demand for employment in the broadcast and print media sector. Diamond Eye will prepare these future media leaders by shaping and molding them through education and participation.
Diamond Eye student participants will at times conduct the reporting of games, perform team interviews, and write feature stories granting them real life experience in the sports business. Perks for our students consists of planning and hosting various events, participation in training clinics, tournaments, all-star games, invitational sports camps, award ceremonies and other exclusive social events, while potentially getting school credit, adding to their college transcript, and resumes.
Moreover, Diamond Eye will be putting in place a program that provides workshops and tutoring for future media students. We will consistently encourage and invite special guest speakers from the industry to come out and speak with our student athletes. Special guests may include professional athletes, professional sports team representatives, and media commentators.
Our youth will forever be vital to our community and future. Its time they have their say and a venue to do it in. Diamond Eye Sports Magazine – “for the students by the students”
