In this assignment, I interviewed Cathy Mills, a former competitive figure skater and coach, now a professor at Douglas College. She has her Ph.D., BSc, and her MA degree in Sports Science. She now teaches in the Regular Faculty in the Sports Science course at Douglas College. She originally is from BC, and when she was a Figure skating coach, she taught in New Zealand. I was looking for people to interview, and when I talked to my gym trainer he introduced me to Professor Mills. We talked a bit by email, then set up a time to have a meeting on Zoom. 

I choose to interview her because I heard she used to be a skating coach. I think that skating is a wonderful sport, and in the future, I was considering a Figure Skating Coach as a legit career path. When I interviewed her over zoom, it was a wonderful experience. She was such an amazing person to talk to. Even though I only had to ask her 6 questions, I ended up asking way too many, and the interview lasted like an hour and a half! The part that I loved the most about this interview was hearing Professor Mills’ way of perspective. They were truly unique. She always seemed to focus on the bright side of the idea, but acknowledged the darker side and took it in instead of completely ignoring it. She later sent me the recording of the zoom meeting so I could re-take notes and make this post. 

I made a you-tube video to explain!
