JAKE

This demonstrates a good sports story because it has a lot of small details that make the story more interesting. When reading a story the small details count, it could change the view of the whole story. This story also has conflict which is essential for a sports piece. Many times sports stories all sound the same but if you add in a conflict it can change the whole story to make it more intersting for the sports fans, and everyone else. Along the lines of making the story more interesting you have to use a different angle then others. This story did a great job of doing this. Jake has been out of the game for a while and this interview/story really captured him perfectly. And of course this story had a main character so it did a great job at that. A voice is also needed and I felt in this story it was the interviewer.
