By: Samantha león INTERVIEW WITH VICTOR HUGO CRUZ Victor Hugo Cruz Rodarte of 23 years studied a degree in physical activity and sports in UABC, from the 5 years he practiced the sport of basketball which has left many learnings. Currently he is a coach at Cetys Campus Mexicali, Colegio las Americas and CAM and today he is going to talk us a little about his experience in basketball and the benefits and disadvantages of performing physical activity. 1. Currently you are a coach at Cetys University. Why did you decide to be a coach? Mostly because even though I've practiced basketball all my life, it started like a source of income for me. A coach asked me for his help and I said yes. 2. What do you like more about coaching young athletes? More than anything it feels nice that in the future you realize that you are not just teaching them a sport, but you are forming them as people. Since they are young they take care of someone who is always behind them, I feel that practicing a sport and more young people create more than athletes. 3. You're a coach, but do you practice any sport? Which one and why? Since I was little I played basketball, and all my life I have played, currently do not practice because I had an injury in the high school which has kept me off the fields. 47
