Among sports writers, feature stories tend to be either human-interest stories or personality profiles of sports figures. A profile presents information about a person, but it differs from a biography by focusing on the person's personality or anecdotes, rather than the factual data about birth, education, or major achievements.
In sports journalism, feature stories are typically either human interest pieces or personality profiles of athletes.  A profile centers on the individual's personality and anecdotes, as opposed to a biography which emphasizes facts like birthdate, education, or accomplishments.
