Ehmpressions

Kraig Ehm | Laingsburg, MI

I am a Columnist for The Sports Column. I love sports. As a kid in California, I was a huge fan of the Dodgers, Lakers, and Trojans. In high school I played football and basketball in Alaska. I co-captained our school to their very first state championship. As an adult, I’ve coached boys’ and girls’ basketball—everything from teaching the fundamentals to elementary players all the way to winning a varsity boys’ state championship. I have even donned the stripes while refereeing basketball. I’ve been fortunate to carry my love of sports into my broadcasting career. With more than 30 years’ experience in broadcasting, I’ve worked in radio and television covering college basketball, college hockey, USA Hockey, and the PGA Tour. Currently, I am a television producer/director at Michigan State University. I have had ample opportunity to learn that while a small percentage of people really do get to “win the BIG game”, the majority simply do not. Disappointing athletic performance may cause some folks to cry. Not me. It inspires me to write down my “Ehmpressions” as a member of TSC.
