To write this autoethnography effectively, Professor Julien told us to think about who our audience would be so that our writing would be understood by them. At first I thought that my audience would only be my professor and some of my classmates, but while writing I started thinking that maybe my website would reach a wider audience. Other professors, people who know about soccer, and even people who know nothing at all about soccer but are curious about my topic may all read my writing and I had to take that into consideration. Since all of these audiences could potentially have different levels of knowledge about soccer, the terminology I would have to use needed to be simple enough for a majority of readers to understand while also not sounding condesending or like I am insulting the reader's intelligence. This was the most challenging part for me. I had to constantly reread my writing over and over again, more than what I would usually do. I had different friends and family read my website to see if they could understand what I was trying to explain without too much trouble. After finishing a majority of my website, I can say that thinking about the audiences I could have definietly improved my autoethnography and my writing as a whole.
