Personal Writing Coach for Students

" I was just 21 years old when I started at ESPN Magazine in 1999 and Terry Egan was my editor. Terry was in charge of the National Hockey League, which I knew a lot about, and tennis, about which I knew nothing. Terry helped me learn everything I needed to know to cover tennis on an international level. He also taught me to tell stories with beginnings, middles and ends, whether they were 60 words, 800 words or 3,000 words. He taught me to ask good questions that would illicit good answers and that if you weren’t forced to leave a sizeable percentage of that good stuff in your notebook, you hadn’t done your reporting. But most of all, Terry taught me to be confident in myself and in my words. In short, he made me a better writer. "
