The Athletic Side of Writing

I believe writing is a crucial tool for writers. Whether they agree with what the writer they may be reading is saying or not, to be exposed to different ideas, from a variety of people is a necessary means for any writer. It also can be inspirational. For instance, if one is to believe something very strongly, if they are able to see the various views portrayed by other writers, I think it can make their point become more evident. I also don’t see why a writer wouldn’t want to see what other writers have to say. To apply this to athletics, I don’t think there is an athlete that only cares about themselves. Whether they are the faster runner, best player, etc, inside they want to know the stats and who could be their possible competition.
