Week 10

Gabby Douglas, Julie Johnston, and Mckayla Maroney have not gotten back to me yet unfortunately. If they don't get back to me I created my backup plan. This Spring Break I am going to Phoenix, Arizona to visit a close family friend. Someone I am visiting is training for the Olympics. They are not of the age to start trying, but  I can interview them. My next post will either be their interview or one of the three people I tried to reach out to if they get back to me.

Week 9

This week I have emailed Gabrielle Douglas (a gymnast training for the Olympics), Julie Johnston (a women on the Team USA Olympic team), and Mckayla Maroney (a 2012 Olympist) in hope they could do an interview for me. By next Friday I would like them to get back to me. I feel that they will be a great resource for an interview.

Week 8

Within the next few weeks I will be getting an interview from someone who is either training for the Olympics or was previously training for them. Here are the questions I will be asking.

1) How long have you been training for?
2) In what ways would you say your life differs from other people's lives due to the training?
3) What challenges have you been faced with throughout your years of training?
4) How would you say the training affects your life?
5) Would you say being an athlete benefits you? If so, Why?
