1/2. I interviewed expert Coach Latorre for my research project. He has been a coach for many years and has been around the game of basketball for just about his whole life. He is a teacher at Hinsdale Central and is also the head varsity basketball coach. This gives much reason to believe that he is a valid source for this interview.
3. I interviewed Coach Latorre on a thursday morning before school and we met in person to discuss over my topic.
Questions:
1. Do you believe kids can be naturall talented from the day they're born or do you think it requires a certain number of practice?
A. I think it is a combination of both. I believe it requires a good work ethic which can also come from the environment around him depending on where he lives. I also think that kids can be naturally born with talent but that they also have to practice to become good.
2. What resources does a kid need in order to play the game of basketball?
A. Well all the6y need is a ball and a hoop in order to practice which I think is one of the best things because it doesn' take much and it is not as expensive as other sports like hockey or tennis.
3. Do blacks in the city try and replace school with basketball and use basketball to get into college? If so does that relate to poor grades?
A. I believe it relates to having a certain number of confidence and if the kid is over confident then it could come back to haunt him. Also if they have a background of being stars in the family they mightj slack off and then not make it.
