Whether you’re looking for something to watch tonight or next week, www.mt-tamjeong.com makes it easy. Mark your favorite/preferred sports teams to make them appear in bold or at the top of Sports Guide.
A sportswriter’s opinion can make or break a story. They may complain about a team that has underperformed or praise a coach who has exceeded expectations.
Features & Profiles
For high school sports magazines, the ability to tell an engaging story, and especially one that humanizes sporting figures, is essential. A feature story uses strategies from news feature writing to spotlight an individual athlete or coach and conveys how their personality drives or limits their success in the sport. This type of feature story can include an introspective view of a player’s struggles, their ability to overcome those challenges and the future of their career.
A highlight reel or video can add a unique, visual element to your profile and showcase your versatility as a writer. Providing these types of assets also proves your ability to capture on-the-ground action, a critical skill for event coverage and commentary. In the experience part, you should focus on your analytical abilities and how they have led to tangible outcomes such as improved team performances or smarter decisions.
Customize your profile so that it highlights your strengths as an experienced sports writer. Highlight specific pieces which have gained significant readership in the sports media. You can even use the space to highlight your specialized expertise in particular methodologies, like statistical analysis and predictive modeling. You can demonstrate these skills by linking to published versions of your podcasts or articles.
The Guide also makes it easy for your staff to show off their knowledge of broadcasting schedules. The Guide can be viewed by time and sport. This allows you to see what is on right now, as well as what games will take place later this month or next week.
Mark your favorite/preferred team across 50+ sports to appear at the top and in bold. You can view the Guide by dates and choose the dates you want to be shown in the future. This will ensure that you never miss another match. Your Guide is also customized to your location, and the program providers you use, so that you can see which stations are playing your favorite games.
Season Previews & Wrap-Ups
A ‘preview’ gives readers expectations for a given event and a ‘wrap-up’ explores how a season went down, be it in victory or defeat. These stories take a bird’s eye view of the game season, sharing either the coaches or players’ expectations for the season ahead or their feelings once the season has ended. Using strong opinions in your previews and wrap-ups attracts followers but make sure you can back them up. Taking a stance that tips the favour of one team over another risks alienating readers so try and get both sides of the story. This is especially important if you are writing about local popular teams.
It’s also a good idea to interview both teams for their opinion and predictions. This makes your writing more interesting and credible.
Soft Stories
Many professional sports teams publish their own media guides in physical form, often distributed with game programs or sold in stadium stands. Many of these publications are also available for free on the team’s home website.
Soft news articles don’t rely on the timeliness of an article and are more like profiles or human interest pieces than hard news articles. Interviews or interesting characters from a particular sport are often featured. Zak Madell plays wheelchair rugby and is the star player of Chesterville Cheetahs. It uses quotes from Madell and his mother to build the narrative and shape it.
You can now highlight your favorite/preferred team so that they appear at or near the top of the list. This way, you will never miss a game. You can select specific dates, or even an entire calendar month, to see what is on in the near future. This makes it easier to plan your staff’s schedule and know what to show. The Sports Guide can be customized to your location, program providers and venue.
