What Makes Content Score High (4.0+)

Story (65% of top posts)

• Personal narrative structure
• Specific moments: “The Saturday I…” “The Sunday Night I…”
• Dialogue and quotes
• Vulnerability + confession

Hook (35% of top posts)

• “Mistakes,” “Crisis,” “Emergency,” “Exposed”
• Paradoxes: “Brilliant player disappears”
• Contrasts: “Perfect drill taught nothing”
• Numbers: “15 mistakes,” “20 skills,” “1,200 coaches”

Unique Angle (25% of top posts)

• Contrarian to conventional wisdom
• “Actually,” “myth,” “wrong” language
• Personal philosophy over generic advice
• Challenge assumptions

Actionable

• Lists (15 items, 7 solutions, etc.)
• Frameworks (3-step, 4-phase systems)
• Specific techniques, not abstract concepts

What Scores Low (2.5-3.5)

Generic how-to posts (“10 Books,” “Complete Guide”) Pure drill lists without narrative Tactical explainers (too educational) Instruction manuals (too procedural)

These work great for blog SEO but don’t thread well for X.
