Interview


Part A
- Jason Gogo- Trainer for athletes
- Played college and minor league baseball. Has experienced and taught others training and medicine
- I interviewed Jason Gogo on April 26 at 9pm.
PART B
1.   What was the medicine like during your time with baseball?
- The medicine is relatively the same for professional athletes. They get the same treatment as younger athletes. Some professionals take illegal medications, but they are not given by the doctors. many athletes used pain killers.
2. How is the competitiveness raised from high school to college?
- The athletes raise the intensity a lot since some want to make their sports a living, so they have to work harder. Some players are just there to have fun, so they compete with less intensity in developing as a player.
3. How has training athletes changed over the years?
- The science behind training has changed or "revolutionized" the game so much. When I played, it was not a dynamic workout, but still getting a lot of time to practice. Now the training is a lot more specific, and has a lot of more areas to focus on. Science has changed the way athletes train.
4. How do nerves affect professionals?
- In the average athlete, nerves cause a less satisfactory performance, while professional athletes use nerves as a motivator to improve even better than usually. Nerves can break down an average athlete, though.

  2. I agree with what Jason Gogo said due to Rob Boss, a man that I interviewed, said something very similar. It relates in the fact of how athletes raise their intensity a lot because some change to do it as a living. Rob Boss said he always loved the sport and if you don't it will become a chore.
