Question

What are the differences between Steve Goff's position as a journalist for the Washington Post and Caroline Williams' position as a director of communications for USA Basketball? Any similarities? Is it more important to know how to write or to know your sport in these jobs?

Answer 1

Both Steven Goff and Caroline Williams are related to USA Basketball, though Goff is more of a soccer journalist. Both of them are writers and have been writing for their sports since they were teenagers. Both of them have played a part in Olympics. Both have received honorary awards for their writings and articles.

It is more important to know how to write about a sport because it is important in communication field to make the audience or reader understand what you want to convey. Even though you have good knowledge about a certain sport but don't know how to write about it, sadly your knowledge will be of no use. You will not be able to make the audience understand your words, feelings and emotions.
