In this interview, I’m going to be interviewing my older brother Jayden about his experiences and point of views on basketball. I chose to interview Jayden because he knows a lot about the sport and played for many years. He played for about ten years starting at a young age, so he can provide good advice and possibly teach people who are interested or considering playing basketball.
I started off by questioning him about his personal experiences and likings about basketball.
- What age did you start playing basketball?
“6 years old.”
- What was the first team you played for?
“Renton Select.”
- What about basketball made you like it so much?
“Competing.”
- What’s your favorite position to play?
“Shooting guard.”
- What’s the highest amount of points you scored during a game?
“25 pts.”
- Who motivated you the most to play your best?
“I pushed and motivated myself.”
I then moved forward to ask questions going in depth on his own personal experiences.
- What made you want to start playing basketball?
“I wasn’t interested in playing basketball at first, I just liked watching it, but I started getting into it after my mom and Dad put me in a basketball program when I was in kindergarten.”
- What made you stop playing basketball?
“I lost interest as I got older.”
- What were a few things that made you mad about playing basketball?
“Nothing really made me mad on the court, I was a chill player.’’
- What advice would you give to new basketball players?
“Be consistent with training because you’re developing new skills, try to be a good player and athlete, and push yourself to do your best.”
