As an adrenaline junkie, I find my passion in the world of sports, with a particular affinity for track and field and Formula 1. With this, I bring versatility to my writing and hence love to explore various avenues of Olympic sports, all while donning my storytelling lens. Whether it is a story about various avenues of swimming or penning insights about rodeo or equestrian sports, my stories will give readers a portal to a wide range of coverage. I craft my words to resonate with anyone who shares a love for engaging with the dynamic realm of American sports. When I am not immersed in the world of sports, I channel my creativity into the art of songwriting. I believe that emotions come alive in lyrics, much like the energy of the race track.

Utsav Khanna is an NFL Author at EssentiallySports. He did his PGDM from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication and went on to work in Public Relations. A deep interest and love for the sport of NFL drew him towards working in Sports Journalism. He cannot make up his mind about which NFL team to support. So, he supports the Cowboys, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bengals (as they are the underdogs), has grown fond of Tampa Bay, and the Patriots, of course, cause of Tom Brady (who doesn't, right?), and if insisted the list might go on. He is a huge fan of legendary Tight End Shannon Sharpe, both the player and the broadcaster. Apart from NFL, he also follows F1 and the NBA ardently. When he gets some time off, he taps into his creative side. He has also performed as an actor for over ten years.
