Trace Browning is a freelance camera operator from Lodi, Wisconsin, who grew up the way most Wisconsinites do: cheering for the Packers, Brewers, Badgers, and Bucks.
While most of us grow up dreaming of making tackles on Lambeau Field or smashing home runs at Miller Park (we will never stop calling it Miller Park), Trace took a different path to the 50-yard line. Rather than holding a football, he holds a camera while sprinting up and down the field and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sports betting has become a popular hobby among a wide range of fans in recent years because many states have recently legalized it.

As a female trying to enter the sports media industry, I am obviously surrounded by a sea of men. It is no surprise that women in sports are generally a minority.
Females that work in sports broadcasting, reporting, management, etc. are few and far between – in fact, only 14.4% of sports reporters are female as of 2021 (ESPN, 2021). The root of this issue begins from day one with the misconception of females in sports.
