Athletic Writing
















During the NCAA Track and Field Championships, athletes searched for the win through dedication and struggle. Happiness trailed as a by-product. Hours of mental and physical training prepared them. Then the moment took over. Choices, endurance and patience engaged so each athlete could push past the pain. They traveled through their realm of emotions to achieve a balance.

Athletic writers move through experiences that align them with their self-images and intentions. They know the highs and lows and thrive on challenges.

Consider how to become an athletic writer. This takes determination and desire to "know thyself" in mind, spirit and body. You must train in all areas to become comfortable with the vacuum that writing can create. You will learn to keep writing when you don't want to and stop writing when you feel your best. They you can create positive habits.

Creative Write:  How will you define yourself as an athletic writer today?
