Gabe Umbarger is an eighth grader who does sports year round. His main and favorite sport to play is baseball,and when he plays he enjoys the outfield the most.
Gabe is not dedicated to every sport like many people think he is. Most of the sports he plays are just to get in shape for baseball. He is dedicated to baseball for sure because he puts in many hard working hours to make sure that he plays well. To get prepared for a baseball game Gabe will play catch, bp(batting practice), listen to music, run, stretch, and throw a bullpen. Throughout a game he doesn’t doubt himself because he has put enough work in to know that he shouldn’t doubt himself.
There are many teams that Gabe has been on that he has not liked but it was never because of the game it always tended to be because of the teammates and the fact that those teams tended not to win. Camaraderie is a major reason that he likes to be on a team sport. Those teammates can lift you up when you are down and they can help take the pressure off yourself when you lose as a team.
Being a professional athlete could be a possibility for him if he puts in enough effort and hard work. He believes that after hard work and practice talent will start to take over. Coaches and teammates are some of the people who motivate him to play hard and to play well. All the sports he plays are not just for the experience but for the fun of it and to keep in shape.
Now that I know more about Gabe’s sports life I learned that he is very dedicated to baseball and is very good at playing it. Gabe will most likely keep playing until he has to stop. Some of his answers were not what I expected but helped me learn more about him. I am glad that I interviewed Gabe Umbarger for my Sports Interview.
