Have you ever got a chance to talk to a former Major League Baseball player? Well I have! As part of my research I had to do an interview, and if it is not obvious enough already I interviewed a former baseball player, which by the way is amazing! His name is Todd Zeile and guess what he is also on top of that an analyst for SNY. SNY is a company that partners with the Mets and broadcasts all their games.
My parents surprised me when I found out about the interview, when I got in my moms car she told me to look on my phone. After I looked I think people in New York city could hear me screaming! The day before the interview I looked Todd Zeile up on Safari so I could relate to him. I was so, so, so nervous, because before I did it he texted me, “Can I call you in fifteen minutes I just came off the air?” I thought to myself ” wow I am interviewing Todd Zelie right after he is on T.V.”When it started my heart felt like it was going to pop out of my chest! I am now actually happy that it was not in person because I don’t know how I could have got through it. However I somehow managed to do it over the phone.
I had to shorten it up a bit because I was told that he only had 20 minutes so I narrowed my questions down to my main 6. What really surprised me though was that as busy as a man that he is he still took his time and tried to think about his answers. What I mean by this is he did not try to keep it short and simple just to get it over with. This is what made the interview so great and is why I learned so much from it.
All in all my interview went great, I learned so much, and I think my final project will be so much better because of my interview. Come back to tomorrow to find out what happened at my site visit. Ps: it is at Citi Field.
Nice job! I liked your enthusiasm in your post and your hook was good.
