ICYMI:

​Jesse Temple writes about Wisconsin football and basketball for The Athletic, where he focuses on in-depth stories and beat coverage of players, coaches and recruits that take readers beyond standard daily beat writing. He previously covered the Badgers beat for seven seasons at FOX Sports Wisconsin, ESPN.com and Land of 10. His educational background includes stops at Knox College for a bachelor's degree in English Literature and at the University of Kansas for a masters degree in Journalism.

While speaking to the club, Jesse touched on the mission of The Athletic. He stated multiple ways in which The Athletic seeks to differentiate themselves from the competition in sports journalism. These strategies include:
  • No advertisements on the website
  • Allow writers the freedom to write better and quality in depth stories
  • Tell stories that you can not find anywhere else

Here are a handful of the articles that Jesse touched on from his impressive writing portfolio with The Athletic:

"The story of Jim is the story of our community." I went to Tony, Wisconsin, to find out why Badgers defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard commands so much respect and pride. It has as much to do with who he is off the field as what he has accomplished on it. https://t.co/Q29iFPsAeY

What’s it like to be one of the most coveted high school prospects in the history of Wisconsin’s football program? I went to Kansas to find out. Step inside the world of quarterback Graham Mertz. https://t.co/TbpWH5nj0K

Here is my first feature for The Athletic: I went to lunch with members of Wisconsin's offensive line at their favorite weekly hangout and learned the finer points of a sacred tradition. Hilarity ensued. It was a memorable, ridiculous experience. https://t.co/fVg9QZVzKN

Wisconsin running back Taiwan Deal's injury-plagued career left him wondering if he'd ever play again. Amid the frustration, he found an outlet off the grid that soothed his soul. A story on football, fishing and having the faith to persevere. https://t.co/RQQ4LnBCXB

For SBC members actively seeking employment or opportunities in the sports industry, Jesse reiterated that “whatever it is what you want to pursue, get real world experience and that will set you apart”.

​
​Thank you to Jesse for taking the time to share his invaluable insight with our club about the ins and outs of working in the field of sports journalism, as well as his advice on how to succeed in such a competitive industry.
