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.
