Community Connections

The person is chose was Alex Chamberlain. He is one of my close friends. I ended up doing him because anyone else I did wouldn’t respond or have time to have an interview. Alex plays lacrosse for the Poco saints, Mine and his team play against a lot, and I have a lot of fun when we play against each other

These are my questions and his answers.

Why are you passionate about your job or role?:

I’m passionate about playing lacrosse because I like the pace of the game and how fast it is. also that I like going on away tournaments with my friends.

What obstacles have you faced to get you where you are today?:

One of the obstacles I have faced is that I fractured my wrist and I was really sad about that. I was out for 5 weeks and after I had to regain my strength to play.

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

Some advice I would pass on is that lacrosse is a contact sport so don’t be surprised if u get hurt. It happens to the best of us, don’t be discouraged when u have to regain your strength.

Would you be open to further contact from Riverside students and if so, how can someone contact you?

Yes: 132-awilkchamberl@sd43.bc.ca

Have Covid-19 Interfered with your passion and how?

Yes because Covid-19 started when the season started and it got in the way of Lacrosse season so they had to cancel the whole season.

Where do u see yourself in the future with your Passion?:

I see myself playing the sport for a long time maybe later down the time play for fun and not at a high level but helping and coach younger kids so they can have the same experience as I did.
