More Than Just an Interview

 Hey guys, today I interviewed Hialeah Miami Lakes coach Ochoa. We talked through a zoom meeting that lasted around 30 minutes. At first I was nervous but luckily I had some questions prepared so when I started the interview I was well prepared.

In the interview we covered a lot in the topic, it is something that she has seen as a major issue in current athletes. I recorded the interview to highlight the most important parts of the interview into my article and documentary. “Athletes tend to find self evaluation through social media by checking the comments made about them. It tends to be a source of ego boost for them, but what happens when they realize people are criticizing them? Will they let people’s comments persuade them into performing better or worse?” said coach Ochoa.

Having that interview helped not only me in my research but self reflect. People are always going to have something to say but they don’t understand what it is like to be an athlete. And we shouldn’t let those things affect us because we know what we're capable of and we have friends and family that are always going to support us no matter what.
