If you want to become a Sports Illustrated model, you need to know how to maintain your figure and stay in shape. This can be difficult with busy schedules and long work hours. However, it is possible to do so with the right amount of planning and dedication.
One of the most important things to remember when trying to become a Sports Illustrated model is that it takes time. You should not expect results overnight. It may take months or even years before you see any real progress in your fitness level or body type. You should also remember that no matter how much you work out or diet, there will always be things about yourself that you do not like. This is normal! You will never be perfect, so do not try too hard to achieve perfection in all areas of your life at once.
Another important thing to remember when trying to become a Sports Illustrated model is that there are many different ways of achieving success in this field. There are many different types of jobs available for models such as runway modeling, catalog modeling, commercial print modeling and runway hosting/hosting positions at events such as fashion shows where celebrities walk down the runway wearing designer clothing while being interviewed by television broadcasters who provide commentary while walking alongside them during interviews
How To Become A Sports Illustrated Model
Ground Rules
As of July, 2014, Sports Illustrated contributing editor Chris Hunt was the person in charge of reviewing story pitches. You can reach him at chris_hunt@simail.com. Before sending that email, he recommends that you pitch a story related to one of the major sports, such as football, baseball or basketball. Sports Illustrated is looking almost exclusively for stories that cover college or professional sports. In the body of your pitch, explain your idea concisely and note how it fits the magazine’s mission. Important: Think like a journalist, not a fan. Your editorial opinions won’t carry the day. Instead, present a solid reporting plan. If you want to write for the website, the contact in 2014 was executive editor B.J. Schechter, who can be reached at bj_schecter@simail.com. Since roles can change without notice, check with SI to find out who holds these positions before sending your pitch.
Path to the Pros
Chris Hunt explains that most of Sports Illustrated’s content comes from staff writers. These writers are culled from what Hunt calls the magazine’s “bullpen” of young contributors, many of them hired right out of college. Of the three reporters hired in January 2014, two of them – Joan Niesen and Lindsay Schnell – worked for SI as interns. The third, Greg Bishop, spent six and a half years covering the New York Jets for the New York Times. Hunt acknowledges some SI staff writers have come from newspapers and websites where they established their reputations and built followings. Executive editor Jon Wertheim took an unusual path to his present role. He went from law school to SI intern, and then from an SI “sports and the law” writer to general sportswriter.
Cyber Readers
Social media and reader engagement play huge roles at Sports Illustrated, according to Jon Wertheim. The website was redesigned with social media in mind. The idea is to attract readers through the “side door” whenever they’re tweeting about an athlete but not necessarily using Sports Illustrated as their primary information source. Most SI writers and editors are active on Twitter, and their stories usually include a social media plan. So while your writing and reportorial skills will count for a lot, you also should be tech and social media savvy to succeed at SI.
Find a New Way to Say It
Chris Hunt emphasized how your story should reveal something most readers don’t know about a sports figure, event or team. Jon Wertheim advises writers to find the courage to be different. Introduce something unconventional in a seemingly conventional story. Attack the story with a distinctive voice or a perspective. No matter how unusual, Wertheim assures writers that their ideas will receive consideration.
