"3…2…1…We’re on the Air" with Robert Steinfeld
Imagine what it’s like to make hundreds of decisions in just two hours on “live” network television with your work seen by millions of people. That’s what a sports television producer does each time they sit in “the big chair.” In Amazon’s #1 Bestselling, Hot New Sports Journalism Memoir, "3…2…1… We’re On the Air," Emmy Award Winning Producer Robert Steinfeld takes readers inside the world of sports television through his five-decade career producing the biggest sporting events such as the Summer Olympics, NBA, WNBA, MLB, college football and basketball, and FIFA World Cup. Along the way, he’s crossed paths with athletic stars like Caitlin Clark, Cal Ripken, Alex Rodriguez, David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Bill Walton, Nancy Lieberman, and announcers Bob Costas, Jim Nantz and Robin Roberts. Join Robert Steinfeld on his path from eager ambitious Jewish teenage BBYO journalist to ultimately realizing his dreaming producing major sports events. "3…2…1…" has been called “a blueprint for success in both your personal and professional lives.”
Robert Steinfeld has produced and directed network sports television for five decades, covering MLB, NBA, WNBA, college basketball and football, NCAA Championships, World Cup Soccer, Cotton Bowl Classics, and Summer Olympics. He’s Executive Producer of the WNBA Dallas Wings. His innovative work has earned him 10 Sports Emmy Awards plus five more nominations, a national Cable Ace Award nomination, plus additional industry accolades.
