I interviewed an athlete yesterday using my second language I just started a sports reporter gig a couple of weeks ago. Mainly because i love writing, however i understand it is essential to speak and use your voice in this job. So i gathered the courage and tried to interview an athlete yesterday at the end of a game i covered. I got a stuck with a couple of words however i got the response i wanted. The player understood me and the brief conversation went smoothly. It is important to clarify that i do not have a severe stutter, its more of a speech block thing, and it only intensifies if im nervous or anxious. I do feel embarrassed when it happens to me which is almost every day. But i tried to be brave yesterday, take the pressure off my shoulders and just do it. Now i will have to keep doing this if i want my dream in sports journalism to come true!
