Interview two.

Hi, I'm Mat and I'm just asking random questions to my friend.

Q: So tell me how did soccer become a regular thing for you?

A: Lionel Messi. Just playing, well some had to do with him. I think maybe because hockey is the bigger sport in my family and I didn't want to live in that shadow anymore and during one summer I refeered a soccer team.

Q: How did beinging a ref go.

A: Beinging a ref was a bit of a challenge.

Q: Well, tell me how like one of those kids changed your life?

A: Yeah. Umm her name is Blair and she was a troubled kid and she actually had stuff going for her but the hardest thing was that I knew she was better than the others so I'm thinking why did you put her on such a lower class team.

Q: Oh, what was her problem and how did that change?

A: She had an adittude problem and just other stuff. It changed by me taking her under her under my wing and saying well okay, I'm here to make you the greatest of the great. I guess at that point in time she didn't really understand why I was trying to help her.

Q: Does she have a special place in your heart?

A: Of course. I didn't help her for nothing. Now she's the youngest kid on my team and together, her and I just make a pretty good team anyways. I helped her a lot and she helped me a lot and even though she doesn't like Messi, we still get along well.

Q: I heard this story a few times but what's the deeper side of it?

A: The deeper side. It was the fact that I knew she was great, amazing even and for me to be cool enough to help her, to train her, that makes a good person.

Q: It sure does but lets talk about Messi?

A: I can only say wonderful things about him. I've been a fan since I was seven.

Q: Wow, what made you love him?

A: He was only sixteen and the youngest MVP and just the youngest to be on team basically and he has like 32 goals now of the season.

Mat: Okay, I think that's all we have for today.
