Sports Blog Writer — Youth Athletics & Training

We're a sports academy that trains young athletes. We publish blog content for parents and athletes on training, skill development, conditioning, injury prevention, nutrition, and navigating youth sports. We need writers who can produce 1,200–2,000 word posts that rank on Google and sound like a human coach wrote them. We use AI in the drafting process. That's fine. What's not fine is publishing what AI hands you. If a post reads like it could have been written about any sport by anyone, it fails. What "doesn't sound like AI" means to us No "in today's fast-paced world," no "it's important to note," no "unlock your potential" No three-item lists where two would do, no paragraph that restates the paragraph above it Specifics over abstractions: name the drill, give the rep range, say what age it's appropriate for, say what it looks like when it's going wrong Opinions and judgment calls. A real coach says "most 12-year-olds shouldn't be doing this yet." AI says "consider consulting a professional." Sentence variety — AI writes in one rhythm and it's obvious What you'll do Research the keyword and read the top-ranking results before drafting, so you know what you're beating Write to search intent — if someone's searching a question, answer it in the first 100 words Structure it properly: one H1, logical H2/H3s, scannable, natural keyword usage Write the meta title and description Add internal links to related posts and relevant program pages Include an FAQ block targeting long-tail and People Also Ask queries where it fits You're a fit if You know at least one sport well enough to write about it without research Playing or coaching background at a competitive level You understand on-page SEO as structure and intent, not keyword density Your writing is direct. Short sentences. No padding.
