Jamie Patel
Media Student at Appalachian State University
Ever since I was three years old, football (soccer in the United States) has been a massive part of my life. From playing to being a fan, everything about it is magical to me. I wanted to become a professional player, but my skill level and physicality prevented me from pursuing that dream. Despite that dream coming to an end when I was sixteen years-old, I decided to adapt my career goals so that I can still be involved in the sport that I love. I am pursuing a career in Broadcasting; whether that be commentary, sports journalism or reporting, staying in the sport is massively important for me
​
That is why I created At The Half, a media outlet for "Everything that is good in football". I wanted to have a way to produce, video, audio and written content about football topics in today's world. At The Half allows me to share my opinions and ideas with the world about relevant events in football and allows me to display my creative edge
I hope At The Half provides you with your weekly dose of football and entertainment
