Wanna be a sports writer?

Whenever I write my sports blogs I believe that at the back of my mind is my good friend Ricky Olivares trying to write a masterpiece, I try to mimic the way he writes and his style. (Check his blogs http://bleachersbrew.blogspot.com) I definitely would say that one will enjoy reading his blogs may it be about the Ateneo or any other team or any other sport for that matter.

If you read his blogs and said "I want to write like him!" Well here is your chance to do so. For those of you who are interested, Ricky is coming up with a module on Sports writing, Let me put here the text from his blog.

We're conducting a five-session course called Sports Nation.

This is an opportunity for sports fans everywhere to attend a class where they talk nothing but sports. It is inspired by that course in Bates College (Lewiston, Maine) -- ahem... The Red Sox Nation: Baseball and American Culture.

But more than talking, through Sports Nation, we seek to understand the social, cultural ramifications of sports in Philippine society and look for ways utilize sports as a force for social change.

We have two sections where each is enrolled in five two-hour sessions.

Choose your section:
League 1 class schedule - Thursdays 7-9pm November 6, 13, 20 & 27 and December 4
