Blog 3: Interview Prep

1. 

I plan to interview the owner and head coach of the gym I cheer and coach at. Her name is Grace Contreras and she has been in the cheer industry for about 19+ years. I feel that she would be an excellent source of information to solidify my Senior topic with. She has seen everything and talked to everyone you would need to to make it in the cheer world. She is not only a coach and gym owner, but a judge for competitions. This is why she is an excellent source of information for me to use, not only in the first interview but throughout the year. She will be able to connect me to any other sources or people I may need.
