Kevin Schmit predominantly covers local sports, including high school athletics and community events. His focus on event coverage and government announcements suggests he may be interested in stories related to local sports events, particularly those with a unique angle such as the impact of weather or personal connections to the community.
Given his interest in martial arts therapy for pediatric patients, pitches related to unique programs or initiatives that intersect sports and wellness may also resonate with him. Additionally, considering his coverage of holiday basketball tournaments and prep football teams' strategies during deep playoff runs, offering insights into successful event organization or team management could garner attention.
As Kevin's geographic focus is on Illinois (specifically Naperville), relevant sources should have ties to this area or offer insights directly applicable to its local sports scene.
