SPORTS ARE BAD ABD ABAD BAD IDEAS ITS HARMFUL

I honestly do not believe that "The Mourning Anchor" should be considered a great piece of journalism. It might have been great then, with all the antiquated ideals and such, but now? It comes off as too long and goes off on describing Gumbel as the Mary Sue type character that everyone should aspire to be. The story does make an attempt to make the character relatable and deconstruct the notion of the macho-man image, but I honestly do not think that even the most hardcore sports fans would want to sit through a very long tirade about this one man's struggle with being affluent. I do find it relatable near the end. Many people have issues with their family that affect the way they live their life. Gumbel never made any friends on his journey to success due to his upbringing; this is a pretty common trope. But the entire story REVOLVES around this conflict. This story has been done to death already, and I am certain that this was not the originator. It does not deserve the title of being a great piece of journalism.

1:  Lead must hook reader

3: Lead has to capture angle of story

4: Use descriptions, bait and switches, and establish a narrative.
5: Always preface quotes with transitions.

6: Always use 3rd person
7: Use the nut graph after the lead to provide information.
8: Lead should open with small picture, then zoom out to big picture.

9: Use "book ends" or end the story with a powerful quote.

10: Put a lot of detail in the story.

Portrait of a middle aged high school soccer coach

Nick Martin teaches Latin at the McCallum high school here in Austin. Known for his manic style of teaching and tendency to go off on tangents in free time, he's ostensibly one of the more "fun" teachers. However, some do not recognize him as a Latin teacher, but rather, a coach. Nick Martin coaches the boy's varsity soccer team here at McCallum high, leading a squadron of twenty-one spry young men into the physical and glorious game of soccer. Today, we look inside the nuances of being an efficient coach.

"Coaching." Martin says. "It's a lot more difficult than most people would imagine. It isn't just drills, you have to make sure that your team works as a cohesive unit on the field, and part of that includes making sure that they're in the right mindset. If a kid just went through a bad breakup, they will likely will not be giving their all on the field. Sometimes you gotta delve deep into each individual's personal problems; act as a mentor for these occasionally really messed up teens." He shakes his head a little. "It's tricky stuff."

A couple of years ago, Martin was put in charge of a fresh batch of Varsity high schoolers, the majority of which were freshman. He knew that an inexperienced band of 14-15 year old newbies would not be able to compete with the rest of the interscholastic competition. So he decided that that year, the main goal would not be to win the tournament. It would be to train the team for the next one. They worked and trained like usual that year, and when the season's results were in, they finished dead last. But, they knew that this was not the end. The next year they fought and fought and made it into a tight second place finish. It was magical.

In the end however, Nick Martin only accepted the coaching position for one reason. It wasn't the thrill of winning, not the satisfaction from watching a team grow and evolve, not even so he could bond with the team. "I like soccer." he said. Three words, and Nick Martin aligned himself with most of the planet in loving to watch and play the most popular sport. Amazing.

SPORTS ARE MAD TIMES pt 1

Jake Gisondi gives this advice in his article. He says that you should:

1. Introduce conflict into the story, but it doesn't have to be resolved. This is very important.

2. Decide on a definitive news angle before writing your story.

3. Make sure to describe the setting whenever possible. It adds coherence to the story.

4. Develop your pivotal main character. Give them complexity to captivate the readers.

5. Try not to interject yourself into the story so much. Give an omniscient tone that mimics most novels.

6. Cut out scenes that don't further the story being covered. No-one likes a time waster.

7. Be fair in your descriptions of people. This doesn't mean that you have to be neutral all the time, just covering most aspects of the person's story.

8. Keep a "Beginning Middle and End" format. Again, mimic a story being told.

CUCKROACH SUCKROA+CH-

1. Results of Iowa Caucus: Sanders and Clinton in a close tie only broken by coin flips in favor of Clinton; Ted Cruz got first over a essentially tied Trump and Rubio. Bernie's relative success is part of Clinton's failure to connect with the younger voters, who are a huge demographic. Ted Cruz's success over Trump is surprising, along with Rubio's sudden uprising, Cruz credits his to a large grass roots campaign, while Rubio's sudden momentum is a bit of a mystery.

2. Predictions:
I think that Bernie's campaign has definitely peaked in notoriety, now all it is is a matter of showing people that Bernie is capable of drawing in enough votes to combat the Republicans for the presidency. Donald Trump will do something outlandish again, but enough conservatives will vote for Ted Cruz in the primaries.
