Hemmingway is very simplistic in his writing, and it is direct due to his background as a newspaper writer. He focuses on simple facts, putting emphasis on nouns and making it flow smoothly. He takes advantage of dialogue quite often, mastering the language between characters. His sentences are often short, leaving out unnecessary adjectives so as to convey his message clearly.
I like this about Hemmingway's writings and think his genre of storytelling will play well in describing the average ins and outs of an everyday athlete. I do not want to glorify or make the character stand apart, but I wish to make the character in my story as close to everyone else as I can using simple vocabulary and dialogue. I still am not sure where I want the story to go, but I think that writing from the perspective of a collegiate athlete in a Hemmingway-esque style would be very useful.
