My name is Dylan R. Coyle.
I was born on October 1, 1998. When I was 10, I knew I wanted to work in sports media.
I have fond memories of legendary Philadelphia Phillies announcer Harry Kalas calling the World Series winner in 2008. The Phillies played the Tampa Bay Rays that year, and in Game 5, they won it all for the first time since 1980. I was ecstatic. I kept replaying that scene in my head: “The 0-2 pitch, swing and a miss! Struck him out! The Philadelphia Phillies are 2008 World Champions of baseball!”
However, the moment that has stayed with me is not the play in itself. It is the call that Kalas made.
That was when I knew that I wanted to be a part of sports broadcasting and media relations one day. To connect with the moment, to create the moment, and to become part of the moment.
Since that day in 2008, I have been fortunate enough to meet and stay connected with people in the industry and eventually work within it.
I am currently a public relations representative for Kaulig Racing, a team with over 25 wins across the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) and Xfinity Series (NXS).
Previously, I was the on-air host for the World of Outlaws Late Models and the play-by-play voice of the Reading Royals, a hockey team in the ECHL affiliated with the Philadelphia Flyers. I was also the media director of the Temple University Ice Hockey Club and the media relations assistant for the Fox School of Business at Temple University. I interned in broadcast/media relations for the Royals for multiple seasons.
I graduated from Temple University in May of 2021.
I am someone who understands the importance of skill, dedication, perseverance, and appearance. I will never stop being grateful for the opportunities I have been given and will never stop chasing my dreams.
