Ingxoxo nomlobi we-NBA uJimmy Spencer
Isiqeshana esihle kakhulu sikaJimmy Spencer esithi Indlela Yokuba Umlobi Wezemidlalo Ezinyathelweni Eziyisikhombisa ithatha lokhu okuyiqiniso. Ngemuva kokukufunda (futhi kufanele, futhi), ngenze lo mbuzo olandelayo ngokulandela uMnu. Spencer mayelana nomsebenzi wakhe wezemidlalo.
Yini eyenza ufune ukuba umlobi wezemidlalo?
U-Spencer: Usuku olungcono kakhulu ebusheni bami lwaluqeda izinyawo zami kumaBelllestick Park noMkhulu wami njengoba uDavid Clark osemncane efika epulatifomu. Ngangingumfana ngesikhashana. Lolo thando lwe-baseball lwaba yisisusa sokufunda isitolo sebhokisi, ukufunda i-San Francisco Chronicle ne-Cheerios yami nokwenza amakhasi wezemidlalo amanga ngekhompyutha yokuqala.
Ngangihlale ngithanda umcabango wezemidlalo, kodwa angizange ngithembele kakhulu ekufundeni kwami. Lokho kwashintsha ekolishi lapho ngifika engxabano yezemidlalo emcimbini nomfana owagcina waba umhleli wezemidlalo wephephandaba lasekolishi. Wangicela ukuba ngibhale ikholomu. Ngavumelana, ngifake isikhathi esithile kuwo, futhi umlobi wezemidlalo wazalwa. Ngangithanda ukuhlanganyela umbono wami ngezemidlalo nabafundi futhi ngithandana ngokushesha.
Ukuhlangenwe nakho kwakho kokuqala kwephepha lakho ekolishi kwathonya kanjani izifiso zakho zomsebenzi?
U-Spencer: I-beat yami yokuqala yayihlanganisa ithimba lika-Sacramento State's softball team.
Ngangithanda ukubika imicimbi ebukhoma futhi ngafunda okuningi nangaphezulu mayelana nobuciko. Ngokushesha ngase ngiphakanyiswe ukuba ngibe ngumsizi wendiza yomhleli wezemidlalo, bese ngibhala umlobi futhi ekugcineni uMhleli-ku-Oyinhloko. Lesi simo sokusebenza ekamelweni lokufundela ekolishi, ukusebenzisana kanye nokuphendula okusheshayo, kwangenza ngilamba ukwenza lo msebenzi wami.
Ngithumele nge-imeyili wonke ama-professional (amanye amagama amakhulu afana ne-Skip Bayless noKen Rosenthal) futhi angishaqeka ukuthi yimiphi impendulo eyigugu ayenginika yona.
Ngaphandle kokubhalela ekolishi, angikaze ngishintshele emhlabeni ochwepheshe. Kwakukhona okuhlangenwe nakho okubaluleke kunazo zonke engake nginakho futhi ngishicilele iziqeshana kwangisiza ngathola indima njengomabhalane wezemidlalo ephephandabeni laseThe Sacramento Bee. Eqinisweni, umlobi wemidlalo wezemidlalo uMarcos Breton wakhuluma ekilasini lami eStramento State futhi yilapho ngifunda khona okokuqala ngesikhundla sesikhathi esithile e-The Bee.
Imisebenzi yezemidlalo ngokuvamile ayiyona engavamile. Isibonelo, ube nesitatimende njengothisha wesikole esiphakeme. Ingabe lolo phiko lwenze ube umlobi ongcono noma akunike noma yikuphi ukwaziswa ekubhalweni okukumangazile?
U-Spencer: Ngichitha izinkathi ezimbili zisebenza ehhovisi elincane le-frontball le-baseball (ngezinkambo ezimbili zokuncintisana neCramramento River Cats ukubonisa kulo). Ngaqeqesha ibhakede esikoleni esiphakeme iminyaka emihlanu. Ngifundisa isiNgisi esikoleni esiphakeme futhi ngiqeqeshwe basketball eyengeziwe. Phakathi nakho konke, njalo ngangilokhu ngigcina inyawo ekulotsheni kwezemidlalo. Ngenza okufanayo manje ngokubeka yonke imizamo yami ngemuva kokuqala kwe-Staance.com ngenkathi ngihlala ngibhalela ne-FoxSports.com futhi ngenza umsakazo ubonakale ukukhuluma NBA.
Konke lokho okuhlangenwe nakho kwangenza ngangihamba kahle futhi wanginika umbono omkhulu njengombhali. Kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi ungathengisa kanjani ukubhala kwakho, ukuxhumana kanjani nabagijimi, abaqeqeshi, njll futhi ngicabanga ukuthi ngaphandle kokuhlangenwe nakho kwangisiza ukuba ngize lapho.
Qinisekisa ukuthi ufunde Ingxenye 2 yalolu daba lapho uMnu. Spencer enikeza iseluleko kulabo abafuna ukuthuthukisa imisebenzi yezindaba ezemidlalo bese bekhuluma ngomsebenzi wakhe ekuqaleni kweState.com.
