Blog 3: Interview Preparation

1. I plan on interviewing Jason Brandt, the Director and Head Coach of the gym I cheer and coach at. He, along with a couple other coaches, are the people who do the choreography for every team at our gym. He has 14+ years of experience, is a certified coach, first-aid certified, and won 10 National Championships during his cheerleading career. I know he is going to be one of my most valuable resources this year and I would like to have my first interview with his because of that. I believe he will give me a good basis to start my project off of, especially when it comes to me determining what direction I want to go in with my senior project.

2. In addition to the five questions I have to ask, I'm going to ask these:

  • What is your favorite aspect of All-Star cheerleading as a cheerleader? Why?
  • What is your favorite aspect of All-Star cheerleading as a coach? Why?
  • What makes All-Star cheerleading so important to you?
  • What would you like more people to know about All-Star cheerleading?
  • In addition to the mentorship activities I already do, are there any other things I can do that you believe would help me in my project?
  • Aside from interviews, lectures, and the few nonfiction books written on cheer, what other things or places can I draw good research from?
