Passion in sports and blogging

The article about blogging needing to be about something that you are passionate about really stuck home with me about why I want to write this blog.

The article talked about some of the many reasons why if you are not passionate about the subject you are blogging about, you can become burnt out and weary of writing it before it ever becomes a successful part of what you do. When you pick a specific subject to write about for a blog it's almost like whenever you pick the career that you want to do for the rest of your life. now I'm not saying that picking a blog topic has quite the same over-arching ramifications that picking a career does, but it has kind f the same idea; if you don't like what you are doing, you are not going to stick with it.

In the article it talked extensively about taking a blog and using Google's AdSense feature to earn revenue with your blog. I already know that I will not be using this blog to try and make any income, but that perceptive still gave me a good sense of what I need to do to make my blog successful on my terms. This blog is a means for me not only to share my passion with others, but to express the thoughts that I have swirling around in my head on a almost constant basis. Maybe, that makes it sound more like a personal journal, but maybe that's okay.

This blog for me is a way to reach an audience that usually would not look at anything sports related, much less a sports blog. My goal is to reach someone who usually would have no interest in watching a sports event and giving a reason why the game might be more interesting or more applicable to them. Going beyond the stats and scores and getting to why these games are a part of human nature and have a narrative behind each contest is how you can start t show how sports have become not only a major part of American culture, but a part of every culture around the world.
