Sports feature stories focus on a specific aspect of an athlete's or team's life, personality or event, and go beyond the basic who, what, when, where, and why of sports news stories. They explore the details, motivations, and personal stories of the athletes behind the games. Unlike sports news stories, feature stories often include quotes from coaches, fans, and family members, as well as vivid description, commentary and analysis.
