You might be surprised how much writing is involved even in careers we don't typically think of as "writing heavy". Here are a couple of examples:
Athletes
- Journalling. Journalling is an important part of training for many sportspeople. Serena Williams famously keeps a journal to help her maintain her motivation and focus. Some coaches require it from their athletes.
- Interviews. Athletes are role models, so many get asked to talk to news reporters, go on talk shows, or visit schools.
- Motivational speeches. Before or after a big match, the captain of a team might want to motivate their team mates with a speech.
Tradespeople (e.g. electricians, plumbers, construction workers)
- "Get it in writing". Customers usually want a paper trail of any quotes, agreements, conditions and guarantees for the work being done so they can follow up if things go wrong.
- Giving instructions. They might be training an apprentice, teaching a colleague how to do a specific task, or telling a customer how to look after their finished work.
- Making suggestions. They might know of a better technique or material to use for a job, but have to convince their boss/customer/colleagues to adopt it.
- Marketing. Many tradespeople own their own small business and need to create their own website and advertising materials.
Even in your personal life, you'll probably come across situations where being able to clearly express your thoughts, emotions and opinions will help you achieve what you want. That could be entertaining your friends with an anecdote, explaining how to play a game, or pitching an idea for a cool activity or project you want to do with someone!
