The World Was Our Stage: Required Reading in Sports Storytelling Course at Asbury University

Doug Wilson’s memoir of a well-lived television life brings a globetrotters' vision and a suitcase full of television tales to my Sports Storytelling class.  Wilson’s anecdotes and remembrances are valuable teaching tools that offer students a firsthand look at the possibilities before them. The World Was Our Stage provides examples of the critical thinking necessary to make things happen in the field and highlights the importance of connecting with one’s protagonists and their stories despite the ever-changing television landscape.
