I interviewed Chris Guerreiro.

I chose to interview him because i really enjoy soccer and he plays soccer for SFU. I contacted him through Instagram direct message and the responses are all what he said word for word.

I learned from the interview that you have to make sacrifices to do the things you enjoy but if really enjoy it then to go for your goals. It connects me to my passion and interests because he is playing soccer for SFU and trying to transition to higher levels of soccer.

Question 3: What advice would you pass on to someone interested in what you are doing?

“Advice i would give to someone is always be confident and believe you’re able to get to a certain level. As well as don’t try to cut any corners, do the hard work on the field when people aren’t watching and the results will show”
