No problem!

1. Your age
21

2. Your ethnicity
white

3. How active you are
fairly active, probably 4 - 5 days per week

4. Your favorite sport or sports and why
My favorite sport to do is competitive air rifle (and other marksmanship sports). I like the concentration and mental focus that marksmanship requires, and I like that it's just as much an independent sport as it is a team sport. I don't think hiking counts as a sport, but that's my other favorite thing to do. My favorite sports to watch are ice hockey, speedskating and F1 racing because they're so fast paced.

5. Anything else you want to add.
I wasn't sure if it needs clarified, but I'm from the US.

1. 16
2. chinese
3. uh, I guess a lot because i practice six days a week usually twice a day.
4. Volleyball and weightlifting! Just being in a team sport in general is one of the best things you could do. I just love the family connection you build with your team. Weightlifting even though its a individual sport the best part is being able to push yourself to get better and better. All the training you do may seem pointless and tiring, but it's all worth it in the end!
5. yay, glad to help!

Russian;White
3. How active you are
Was very active, playing/running 5 times a week
but not anymore for last 2 months since I have a bad problem in my knees for a while sad
4. Your favorite sport or sports and why
TENNISSS.
I have played tennis mostly my whole life. I was kind of born into it(of course im russian. we rule the tennis courts!). When i was younger i was like wth why am i even playing this is not fun at all but as i kept playing and started to do tournaments and getting on a team, tennis was something that was fun for me. Now that Im 15, tennis is so serious 0.0 everybody is so strong and powerful sometimes im like SHIATT I NEED TO PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. Even though I said that tennis is fun, theres a lot of hard work, so much running practicing. especially when I started doing high school tennis O.O you will die. I died. We would have to run a whole mile without stopping and it was so annoying because there was these twins who were like the speed of light and sometimes lap the slow people... (heh like me) and the coach would be like If you guys get lapped by the twins you better pick up your pace next time. LOL.
5. Anything else you want to add.
Oh I want to add that when I got my injury(I have patella tenderitis, which is pain in the knee caused by overuse of running; Kobe Bryant had it too! haah) I never realized how much I miss tennis. When I started going to physical therapy (still going to it) I was like yay no more tennis no more running but after a while, Im like omg im so freaking fat now since i dont do anything ahah. plus it was like something was missing kind of, cuhs i play tennis like 4 to 5 times a week even 6 depending if theres a game i have, not playing when most of what i did was play is so weird for me.




wow i wrote a lot.. oh well.

1. Your age: 16
2. Your ethnicity: Asian
3. How active you are: School days: 5/7, holidays, every other day OTL this is why i cant do cross country lol..
4. Your favorite sport or sports and why
Soccer: I came to love this sport because it was a way for me ( a girl) to stand up to the boys when I was little. I mean, if you could get the ball away from a guy, the other guys would have more respect. Soon I actually became on par with them in terms of speed and strength and it became my recess games biggrin
Running in general: In my school, im one of the fastest girls. But my school kinda sucks, so that doesn't say alot.. But I just love to run, because the adrenaline is LKFJLSKJDLfj. It is also the cheapest sport to take part in. All you need is running shoes, and you can run anywhere, for as long as you want biggrin
Touch Rugby: Closest thing to football/Rugby. Them sexist administrators >: 0 nothing too physical~ Speed and defense and strategy is everything in Touch biggrin Felt right~
5. Anything else you want to add.
You should probably ask about males and female cuz that does make a difference when it comes to sports.. Good luck with your interview!

Gracious Raider

1. Your age 22


2. Your ethnicity White


3. How active you are Extremely, 2-3 workouts a day, except weekends when it's one. More so when doing field training and it's 24 hours of running around, in full battle rattle, maneuvering the landscape and engaging training targets.


4. Your favorite sport or sports and why I don't do any sports myself, I don't really have time to do anything but go workout on my own. But to watch, would have to be World's Strongest Man. Highland Games can be pretty fun to watch. And because they're about individuals who saw something they wanted and worked harder than anyone else to get it. Pro-athletes in football and such were always doing it since they were little, World's Strongest, they weren't basically brought up solely to do it. They do it out of pure love of doing it, not millions of dollars. Magnus Samuelsson, who is one of the most successful competitors, was always a full time farmer.
