imitate

In my articles I would like to think I can imitate Jeff Zillgitt. He's a sports writer for USA Today and he works only on their website. I've also had the pleasure of meeting him in person. To me his style of writing is simple but gets readers focused on what he is saying. Sports isn't just scores and games but rather he makes each article a story. The stories also have a way of telling the audience not only about what sports topic he is discussing but a little into his life as well. He makes it fascinating to read. When the audience reads they learn something about sports and something about a guy who loves sports. It brings a connection from the writer to the audience. For that article the audience can relate to him and his feelings about something ans in the end feel that way to. He could just talk about sports but you can tell he likes to have that connection with the audience just as much as sports.
While I probably won't ever do sports I want to accomplish what he does in his articles.
