Yarnick Planken has been reporting for nine years, covering everything from local news to international sports. A Dutch-American journalist who grew up following both European football and American leagues, he learned early that good stories show up everywhere if you know where to look.
He's worked across different beats and publications, writing about city politics, community events, and the sports that bring people together. At Top Hill Sports, he covers the full spectrum - breaking news, features, and in-depth sports analysis across the NFL, NBA, MLB, cricket, football, and beyond.
He started this site to create a space for straightforward reporting that respects readers' time and intelligence. Whether it's a championship game or a developing story outside sports, the approach stays the same: get it right, make it clear, and tell people what actually matters.
He's based in Florida, still watches way too much sports television, and believes the best journalism happens when you stop overthinking it.
