BEHIND THE SCENES WITH TRAIL BLAZERS SIDELINE REPORTER
BROOKE OLZENDAM DO YOU HAVE ANY RITUALS OR SUPERSTITIONS ON A GAME DAY? I ask Coach Yim about warm-up times and I always get a fist bump from our trainers, Todd and Ben, on their way back into the locker room during starting lineups. Those are musts. HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A TRAIL BLAZERS HOME GAME? I get dressed and do my hair at home. I throw whatever heels I’m wearing in my bag and put on 18
my sensible flats, then head to the arena. When I get there I finish my notes, do my “tv” make-up last (which I hate doing because I’m awful at it), then take off my sensible flats and put on nonsensical heels. Off to interview Coach! HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A TRAIL BLAZERS ROAD TRIP? I am a night owl, so I do my best packing the night before a road trip. I always pack too many shoes. My must haves are cough drops, moisturizer, and hair spray. A ton of hair spray.
TRAIL BLAZERS GAME PROGRAM • BROADCASTER FEATURE
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ARENA IN THE NBA? (BESIDES THE MODA CENTER, OF COURSE) I really love Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis because it’s so unique and really does feel like an actual fieldhouse. I love Smoothie King Center in New Orleans simply for the reason they give us a free smoothie of our choosing. ARE THERE ANY PLACES ON THE ROAD THAT YOU FREQUENT? RESTAURANTS, QUIRKY SHOPS, ETC? It’s common knowledge on our crew that I’m a sucker for gas station BBQ. Dickey’s BBQ Pit in Dallas has my heart. WHEN DID YOU KNOW YOU WANTED TO GET INTO BROADCASTING? WAS THE NBA ALWAYS THE GOAL? I knew I wanted to work in sports at a very young age. When I was studying broadcasting at Wasington State University I knew it was what I wanted to do. I grew up obsessed with the NBA, so dreams do come true.
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU FEEL YOU’VE IMPROVED ON SINCE JOINING THE TRAIL BLAZERS BROADCAST TEAM? I’ve improved on specific basketball verbiage strictly from getting to listen to our analyst, Lamar Hurd, every game. He does a great job of explaining coverages, schemes, plays, etc. He’s really helped me with the nitty gritty. Not to mention, he and Kevin are highly entertaining. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO GET INTO SPORTS BROADCASTING? If you want to get into sports broadcasting, A) Please don’t come for my job, because I love it. And B) Work hard to put together a solid reel to show anyone and everyone. Introduce yourself to people in the business and make connections. They can give you great advice. Be kind to everyone because it’s a smaller circle than you think, and just because it’s the right thing to do! And be prepared to be tired! ◆

TRAIL BLAZERS GAME PROGRAM • BLAZERDANCER FEATURE
JENNY YEARS AS A BLAZERDANCER: 4
WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO DANCE? The rush of excitement and adrenaline I feel while performing out on the court is incredible and unlike anything else I’ve experienced. Dance is my passion, and I’m truly the happiest when I’m out there performing with my team! It’s so special that we get to share our passion with other people and bring a smile to their face. It’s amazing getting the chance to be a role model for young girls everywhere, encouraging them to follow their dreams! WHAT ARE SOME LITTLE-KNOWN FACTS ABOUT YOURSELF YOU WANT OTHERS TO KNOW? I’m super close with my family, and have the most adorable nephew in the world that I wish I could be with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I learned how to wake surf this past summer and now I’m obsessed! Everyone needs to try this sport because it’s so much fun!
Center was insane, our routines were so fun, and we surprised the crowd and had one of our male choreographers run out to the court in the middle of our routine and start dancing with us! I’ve never heard the crowd that loud ever before! WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES? I like to workout (mainly Barre3), hangout with my family, travel, try new restaurants, and obviously DANCE! IF YOU COULD GIVE ADVICE TO ASPIRING YOUNG DANCERS, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL THEM? Always work hard and continue develop your skills, learn all styles of dance so that you can have a versatile dance background, take classes that will get you to step out of your comfort zone, and never give up on your dance dreams! Anything is possible!
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE AS A BLAZERDANCER? I have SO many amazing memories from being on this team, but one of the most memorable experiences so far would have to be the playoffs during my Rookie Season. I had never experienced anything like it before! The energy in Moda
