Senior Profile: Q&A Douglas Alves

Michelle Yin October 28, 2016

How long have you been playing for? And what has made you stay in the sport?

I’ve been playing for 2 years now and it was my friends that made me stay into this sport.

Why did you choose to play field hockey?

I chose to play field hockey because I thought it was a fun sport and I felt like it would be a good experiment.

How do you think the rest of the season will go? Are you guys prepared?

I think the rest of the team will go really well and we will be prepared. We always take one team at a time.

What do you think you need to improve, if so what do you think the team need to improve on?

I need to improve on my dodging and stick skills more because I feel like I can do better. I don’t think we need to improve on anything now because the only problem we had was communication but we fixed that.

What do you like about being part of the team? What do you think about your team?

I like that everyone is always included in things and I also like that if someone on the team is feeling down another player will go and talk to the player that is feeling down.

What goal do you have for the rest of the year?

My goals for the rest of the year is to better my dodging and stick skills and also to score more.

How many wins or loses do you have? And what are your opinions about the games?

We currently have 1 win and 11 losses. There were some games that we could have won some of the games but the other teams are pretty good. Also this is a young program still and we’re just getting stronger.

What do you think about your team?

I think that we’re a young talented team that still has a chance to win games this year.

What are the strengths you have?

I’m a good sprinter and that I’m coachable.

Any advice for the new comers next year? Why do you think they should join?

Be prepared to condition because it’s a running sport. They should join because it’s a really fun sport and it’s a really good experiment to play. Because everyone one there is committed to make the team better.
