Interviewing players, coaches, and other team personnel, Cohen creates content for
the NFL team鈥檚 website to keep fans up to date on what their favorite players are
currently doing to prepare for next season as well as writing for the team鈥檚 yearbook.
Not only does attending team training and events gain Grant inside access to talented
athletes, it also means he鈥檚 surrounded by some of the best sports reporters there
are 鈥� which offers quite the learning experience in itself.
鈥淲hen you鈥檙e sitting right next to the Washington Post or USA Today, you want your
questions to be great and seeing what national reporters ask in a large media setting
has made my interviewing skills sharper,鈥� he says.
Just as with the people he鈥檚 met and stories he鈥檚 gotten the opportunity to report
on, Cohen is extremely grateful and in awe of the mentors and community members he
has had the chance to interact with throughout this journey and the reach he鈥檚 been
able to receive with the Redskins鈥� more than one million social media followers.
鈥淚鈥檝e gotten a number of direct messages from followers who enjoyed my work and even
fellow reporters that have mentioned their appreciation of my writing. That in itself
has given me a huge confidence boost,鈥� said Cohen. 鈥淚鈥檓 grateful the organization
took a chance on me and has seen potential in me to be great in this business.鈥�
Cohen鈥檚 internship has given him experience outside of the classroom that he recommends
to all other students in the same field.
鈥淭his internship makes my resume shine a lot brighter,鈥� he proclaimed. 鈥淚t has helped
me build solid connections and separates myself from students I鈥檒l be competing for
jobs with.鈥�
