Second Interview.. Mrs. Newell

My second interview i did Mrs. Newell! She Is the coach for the Norton high school girls volleyball team. She is a great coach and always gives it her all. Anyways, I asked her how she go interested in the sport and she said that someone told her that she would be a great player cause she is tall. Right when she picked up that volleyball she was hooked. She said in high school she was very successful in the sport and got awards like patriot league all stars in the paper, and captain on her team. Her volleyball team was division 2 champions! After high school she wanted to further her career in volleyball and ended up being the captain once again and winning many awards. That's just impressive to me that she was the captain in college because I bet that a hard spot to get because its very competitive. Now being out of college and being a school teacher now, Newell explained to me that she would like her daughter to start playing once she gets older. Seems to me she has already started with all the volleyballs around her house she likes to play with! She already has 2 of her own! Mrs. Newell also told me that she still plays volleyball , but not as much as she would like.

Jerry Sandusky

This case just makes me sick... first of all who would ever think of raping 26 young men... Jerry Sandusky basically threw his whole life away from playing on a professional football team in Penn State. He raped 26 young men in his basement in his small house, supposedly with his wife Dottie ( not knowing anything and is a moron).. Which to me is a complete lie. I think the victims didn't tell anyone because Jerry would give them money so they wouldn't tell anyone. But When someone found out , Jerry was sentenced 30-60 years well deserved. His wife tired not to believe it was true and still to this day supports, and visits him in jail daily. From my opinion I think that his wife is lying and must of heard screaming in the basement... I do believe that professional athletes and coacher are above the law.

Interview one-Brooke K

Brooke has always been a very athletic girl. At the age of 3 she found love in the sport of soccer. She is the only one in her family that plays this sport. She explained to me that every chance she gets she practices as much as she can and I believe that cause I always saw her in my gym class! I had asked her how she trains to get so good and she explained to me that she likes to go outside and works on her skills. Brooke says she loves soccer so much because it is a combination between every sport put together. Brooke doesn't play for the school because she likes to just focus on school and then soccer out of school. She takes school very serious, Honor student and also in DECA. Her best moment in her whole soccer career is when she got a call-up from a coach in Boston that wanted her to be on his team... she then thought to herself that maybe someday she could play on a more challenging team in college! And that the one she is currently on right now is not easy what so ever!!

Ryan Hall 2014 Boston Marathon!!!

So im not really into many sports BUT I do have a love for running, Esp long distance running. One of my favorite elite runners will be running in the Boston marathon this year in April! I cant wait to see him on TV. Ryan Hall is an all American long distance runner. He has run in Boston 3 times total and always landed in second place overall. In 2011 he set a American record in the marathon with a blistering time of 2:04:58.. That is insane. Basically every mile is 5 minutes long for him for 26.2 miles. He believes that this years marathon will be the most historical race in history because of what happened last year.. http://www.runnersworld.com/boston-marathon/ryan-hall-added-to-2014-boston-marathon-elite-field

Deena Kastor will run in the Los Angeles 2016 olympic marathon trials!

Deena Michelle is an all American long distance runner and holds many records in the marathon races she runs. She is 5"4 and 104lbs and is from Waltham MA. She won the bronze medal in the womwens marathon at the 2004 Olimpics in Athens, Greece. She was always the standout athlete in highschool. She competed in the most hardest race for any highschool running athlete could ever qualify for, and one 2 of the races. Its called the Footlocker cross country championships. Anyways, after she was done with college she decided that she just wanted to focus on marathons. After all of her hard work and training had paid off because in 2007 she placed 5th in the Boston Marathon!!! Which i will be running in the Baystate marathon in october to try and qualify for the boston marathon 2015. Deena went threw a few foot issues and knee problems but she pushed through them all. She had a baby in 2010 and quickly got back into "beast mode" and set a record in the marathon with the time of 2:19!!!!!Its crazy to think about because that like holding a 5 minute mile threw 26.2 miles! Thats insane. When she steps foot on the starting line in Los Angeles in 2016 i think its going to be a smoke show and shes going to win it.. it may be a battle at the end BUT she got this no doubt about it! :)
