Blog 4: Interview Preparation

Who do you plan to interview? Why? 

  1. For my first interview I plan to interview one of my coaches at the boxing gym, Don Luna (Mr. Luna). The reason I will be interviewing him is, not only is he a great coach and he is retired a professional boxer.

2. In addition to the first five required questions, which may not be enough to receive adequate information, I also plan to ask him how old he was when he started fighting, or training to box, How long he fought, and how long it took him to become a professional boxer. I will inclusively ask him what he thinks the most important aspects of training are when training to fight or for a fight. How rewarding is Boxing (Financially, physically, socially?)
