Yours truly was in his early 20s when I interviewed my first professional athlete. I have talked to pro players on and off for the past 35 years, regularly since launching Big Blue View in 2007.
When I meet people who find out what I do they often are excited by the idea that I get to talk to these guys. To be honest, as much as I understand and appreciate that, it isn’t that much of a big deal to me any more. They are, to me, mostly just people. Few of these conversations make me think “wow, look what I’m doing.
