• Engage volunteers before, during, and after events to ensure successful content capture and delivery;
• Provide guidance, training, and basic creative direction to volunteers on brand standards, storytelling approach, and production expectations;
• Coordinate storytelling coverage for competitions, fundraisers, and community activities across Texas;
• Collaborate with regional staff to identify compelling athlete and community stories;
