Ep. 21: Manager of Content at Premier Lacrosse League, Robert “RJ” Kaminski: How He Got a Job in Professional Lacrosse After Never Playing Before - a podcast by Grit Player Services

How the f**k did RJ Kaminski get a job at The Premier Lacrosse League in addition to helping create content for Shootout for Soldiers, a 24-hour lacrosse game that benefits American veterans? Today, we’re chatting with RJ about his impressive and wide-ranging resumé that had him working as a sports reporter and broadcaster, creating an entire content calendar and social media position for Meet the Press, and then eventually to the PLL. In high school, RJ’s buddy started Shootout for Soldiers and he asked RJ to run social media and broadcast it—all 24 hours of the game. Still to this day, RJ helps run the social media for the organization and the annual game. Though familiar with broadcasting the sport, RJ never actually played lacrosse before working for The Lacrosse Network and taking over their social media that included him going to shoot footage in front of the Flatiron building in freezing weather. His hard work paid off taking him from the East Coast to the West Coast to take on the role as Manager of Content at PLL. So how did RJ reconfigure his cover letter to get the job at Meet the Press? And what are his thoughts on sleeping with socks on?
