Brief
One game your team played, written up like sports journalism: the turning point, quotes collected on the sideline, the box score. You attend or play, take notes, gather the quotes, and write the piece; the agent workshops structure and pushes on flat spots. Published where a teammate's parent could find it and relive the game.
Personalize
- The game. A recent one you were at, ideally with something to say: an upset, a collapse, a debut. Any game works if you watched it closely.
- The quotes. Two or three people you can catch right after the final whistle: a teammate, the coach, the loudest parent. Write their words down exactly.
- Playing or reporting. If you are on the field, your notes come after the game; reconstruct it with a teammate before memories smooth over.
Milestones
- The game attended with a notebook: scoring plays, momentum shifts, times, the details a box score misses.
- Quotes gathered from people at the game, with their okay to be named.
- The box score compiled and checked against the league record or the scorekeeper.
- The piece drafted by you: lede, turning point, quotes placed where they land.
- Workshop pass, facts checked once more, then published at a public URL.
Done means
- Live at a public URL
- The score and stats match the official or scorekeeper record
- Quotes are word for word and the speakers agreed to be named
- The writing is yours throughout
- Someone who missed the game can follow what happened and why it mattered
