Carmen Holland & Juan Perez-Jones Bring SportsYardTV University to Life

At SportsYardTV, we’re always looking for ways to bring our community closer to the heart of the game. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce our brand-new show, SportsYardTV University — a space where fans, aspiring creators, and industry pros can learn the ins and outs of the sports world straight from the people living it every day.

And leading the charge? None other than Carmen Holland, a multimedia journalist, podcaster, and culture-driven sports personality who knows how to make conversations real, relatable, and unforgettable.

Carmen

Why Carmen?

Carmen’s journey through sports media is as diverse as the industry itself. From reporting live on-site for Coast TV News to founding her own basketball platform (Hoops With Carm), she’s done it all — interviewing athletes and league founders, breaking down NBA matchups, hosting podcasts, and even creating her own segment (Carm’s Corner) to shine a spotlight on women changing the game.

She’s covered the NBA, WNBA, NFL, MLB, and more — but what really sets Carmen apart is her ability to blend sports with culture. Whether she’s scripting game recaps, producing podcasts, or going live with players, she makes sports feel bigger than the scoreboard.

The Perfect Match: Carmen & Juan

Alongside Carmen, Juan Perez-Jones will bring his own media and community leadership experience to the table. From interviewing pro athletes with East Coast Magazine to leading as a former captain of Rutgers Basketball, Juan adds balance, perspective, and energy to every conversation. Together, they’ll make SportsYardTV University both insightful and entertaining.

What to Expect from SportsYardTV University

This isn’t your typical classroom. Every episode of SportsYardTV University will feature in-depth conversations with special guests from across the sports industry — athletes, execs, creators, and innovators who each play a role in making the sports world move.

Our mission is simple: to educate, inspire, and show our audience the many ways to build a career in sports — on and off the field.

With Carmen leading the way and Juan co-hosting, SportsYardTV University is set to be one of the most authentic, inspiring, and binge-worthy shows in the SportsYardTV lineup.
