  • Competition Comment: A key to successful sports writing is to remember that there are no volleyball stories or cross country stories... there are stories about players and coaches and parents and officials and fans and managers and cheers... you get the idea. That starting point will lead to tighter focus on key moments and on emotions. Let athletes share their stories, not just cliches.
