  I collect a combination of quantitative data, and qualitative data. In combination I can get a pretty detailed picture of what it is like to be an elite athlete.
  
  I get my qualitative data from interviewing athletes and recording it and then looking for patterns in their replies. I get my quantitative data from giving them questionnaires to fill in as well as gathering data about their performance (like speed of a tennis serve or accuracy of a shot)
