Sample formal opening: Good morning, Coach. It is my privilege to get this opportunity to interact with you. Could you tell me how your journey in sports began?
Sample informal opening: Hi! I’m glad you agreed to meet me. Tell me about yourself and how you became interested in sports.
Practice point: The content can be similar, but the tone, word choice, and level of respect must change according to the interviewee.
Gist yeh hai ki Sports Coach se formal tone mein baat karo ('Good morning, Coach... It is my privilege') aur apne dost jaise Sports Captain se informal ('Hi! Tell me about yourself'). Content same ho sakta hai, tone badalna zaroori hai.
