Comments on: Men’s soccer faces test on field http://www.studlife.com/sports/2009/08/24/mens-soccer-faces-test-on-field/ The independent newspaper of Washington University in St. Louis Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:42:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: wustl fc fan http://www.studlife.com/sports/2009/08/24/mens-soccer-faces-test-on-field/#comment-394 wustl fc fan Mon, 24 Aug 2009 22:21:29 +0000 http://www.studlife.com/?p=2739#comment-394 I agree with wu sports fan's comment. This team has a lot of followers around the country and Studlife is one of the only ways we are able to follow the team. That said, when I read an article, I want to actually know something about the developments thus far in the season, not just a few random quotes. Which freshmen are pushing for playing time, who will be a difference maker if they have a great year, how does the team hope to achieve it's goals, and many more meaningful questions would be the start of an intriguing article. Glad to see the piece, but I'd like to see improvement in the coverage. I agree with wu sports fan’s comment.

Give us real, meaningful stories, not generic blah blah. Is this a preview of the team, a laudatory piece, or a just a series of quotes about WU soccer that don't have any real connection to one another? Your writing is fine, but know that people will read what you have to say, so you've got to come at it with a concise, unique angle and take pride in each piece you write. Good luck.
