DBH 1 and DBH 2, Gernika Basketball players!

Yesterday we were honoured with the visit of two great basketball players from Gernika Basketball team. They gave us a talk about sport and healthy live and students asked many questions and took photos with them. This is the interview pupils wrote, enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

What made you want to play basketball?

 BRITTANY:

-Well, I always loved sports and when I started playing basketball, I suddenly fell in love with it.

CLAUDIA:-One day, my school teacher asked if someone wanted to play basketball, and I got very

interested. I thought that I had to train more because I didn't know anything about it, and then I just

started to love it and it became my new hobby.

Do you enjoy playing this sport?

BRITTANY:-Yes I do, but it can sometimes be tiring with all of the training and staying healthy,and

that's a big challenge since I love eating pizza.

What do you feel when you play basketball?

CLAUDIA:-It's really exciting to feel the emotion of the audience and all of our hard work pays of

when we see their faces.

BRITTANY:-It's so wonderful to see everyone cheering for you because it motivates us to see that

they support and care for us, although, sometimes it's not very pleasant to watch them sad or upset

because we lost a match.
