In the Capstone project you need to do at least one interview. We do an interview to gather more reasearch about our topic. For my interview I wanted to interview two people because I wanted to find one person that used mental preparation as an athlete and somebody that works for a mental preparation company. Right after I found my topic PJ a kid in my class told me that his dad Curt works for a breathing company and some professional teams use it. interview both of them.

For my interview with Curt, the person that works with the breathing company call BreathAware. Since Curt’s son PJ is in my class I decided to go with him after school because Curt picks PJ up so I can interview Curt then. Curt answered all of my questions well. He gave me a lot more information about mental preparation. I was happy about how the interview went. I’m excited to do my next interview. I learned a lot. One of interesting I learned was When you focus on breathing you forget everything else and you don’t have to worry about your anxiety

Here are my interview questions for Curt:

1. What made you want to start BreatheAware?
2. How does BreatheAware work?
3. What is the company’s main goal?
4. What are the company’s main products?
5. How do the products help the company achieve its goal?
6. Why are you interested in mental preparation?
7. Did you use breathing techniques as an athlete? Why or why not?
8. What does the breathing do for your mentally?
9. Who are the types of people (athletes? non athletes?) that use BreatheAware the most?
10. Why do athletes use breathing techniques to prepare?
11. How has BreatheAware helped athletes?
12. When do the athletes use BreatheAware?
13. Why do some athletes prefer BreatheAware over just sitting down and breathing?

I’m excited to see who my dad gets as an interview
