Establishing the CBA Digital Network in 2017 for the Founders Cup matchup between CBA and RBC, Mr. Lutz has worked to grow the Digital Network into so much more as this 2021-2022 season shaped up to be one of the biggest broadcast years in CBADN history.
Assembling the media team filled with students of all different skills and talents, Mr. Lutz has worked to expose each student to opportunities of a lifetime in the media world. Showing the students the importance of working together as a team and demonstrating that each component of the broadcast is vital to the success and coherence of the stream, Mr. Lutz has given each student the chance to learn and grow with each broadcast.
Mr. Lutz works with each student to explain and teach the roles of each broadcasting element as he provides the crew the hands-on experience to work with the audio and camera equipment while also encouraging all crew members to go on air and commentate on different games. Mr. Lutz is the teacher you want to learn from as he is always there to answer questions and help with the streams while also giving each student the responsibility of handling new roles and experiences to learn.
Most importantly, he helps his students learn from their mistakes and explains that each experience is a learning process. He is understanding yet demanding as he challenges his students to take on new roles and responsibilities with each broadcast, and he wants the team to learn and have fun every day.
Mr. Lutz is committed to providing viewers with the chance to watch something special as he motivates and excites his students for each stream. Even if the Digital Network has two streams in one day, he’s there at both, always coming up with solutions and helping the team make sure that the streams run smoothly.
It is also important to note that Mr. Lutz established the CBA Digital Network as a student-run broadcast team. He helps the students set up the equipment and works with the team to make sure the streams run smoothly, but he makes sure that his students are the ones who run the broadcast and operate the stream. Once the game starts, he lets his students take the reins, providing his students with the hands-on experience to truly learn and adapt to each situation.
The CBA Digital Network was able to take off and expand into so many different sports this year as the crew tackled soccer, basketball, hockey, and wrestling this school year with Mr. Lutz’s guidance and motivation through it all.
