The two sources that I compared was a blog from Paul LaDuke, whose has been an Athletic Trainer for twenty years working with a scale of different levels of athletes with a scholarly article by James Mensch from the University of South Carolina. The style from both pieces were very different. The scholarly article written by James Mensch was very professional but also very hard to understand if you don't know that much about the Athletic Training field. As difficult as it is, he did put up a summary section so it could be easier for the readers. The blog from Paul LaDuke was way more easier to understand and it was very opinionated, but also it gives a good source on how one feels about the work and experience of the Athletic Training job. The delivery from both was also different. The blog was more like an easy to read essay while the scholarly article was written like a research paper with lots of paragraphs and bullet points to share different topics. The only similarity is that both pieces of work are both trying to get an audience of new people with a purpose to get people considering the field of Athletic Training.
