Chase Hanawalt, with multiple sports consuming his days, takes his chances with journalism and learns how writing can impact a person’s perspective. 

Q - What do you like to write about?

A -When I was younger I really enjoyed writing realistic fiction. There was this one story I wrote in fourth grade  about my friends and I getting trapped in a storm and getting sent to the past.  We ended up playing a baseball game with a bunch of past and current MLB stars,  so I really enjoy writing about realistic fiction.

Q - Why journalism?

A - I really like reading journalism about sports, and the breaking news reports from people like Shams Charania and Adam Schefter.  I think it's so cool that they have inside connections with major professional athletes, their agents, and franchises.

Q - Where is your happy place?

Q - How do you stay calm in a stressful situation?
