王凱
第一位打進美國NFL職業聯賽的中國人,大家會叫他“NFL姚明”,可見他是實力滿滿,星範兒十足。
別看他一頭長髮,體型寬大,但他笑起來卻很萌很可愛,講起話來也是輕鬆詼諧,從不擺“明星架子”。
很多新老橄欖球迷都很喜歡他。自從《大家好!我是你們的“新同學”王凱~》的推送發出後,我們的後臺收到了很多大家想問的有關王凱的三兩事。於是,巨石小編連忙把這些問題“統一彙總”,又“快馬加鞭”地聯繫到王凱,與他進行了一次愉快的Q&A......
巨石達陣:請問你是幾歲開始接觸橄欖球?為什麼開始打橄欖球?
GSG:How old are you getting into football? Why did you start playing football?
王凱:6歲時我就開始打“全裝備橄欖球(tackle football)”了。我出身運動世家,父母都是運動員,深諳體育運動在家庭教育中的價值。
從小我體型就比較大,所以自然而然就去打橄欖球了。而且橄欖球可以說是美國最流行的運動了,幾乎每個家庭裡的孩子從小就開始接觸和玩兒橄欖球了,完全是一種生活習慣了。
I was 6 years old when I started playing tackle football. I started playing football because both of my parents were athletes growing up and they knew the value of what sports can teach children. I was always a very big kid, so naturally football just made sense. Also because it is a very popular sport in the USA so a lot of kids play football when they are young.
巨石達陣:橄欖球這項運動帶給了你什麼改變?
GSG:What changes did the sport bring to you?
王凱:橄欖球給我的最大的改變,莫過於教會了我“如何與他人相處”。
沒錯,橄欖球能讓一個人性格變得堅韌不屈,逐漸培養領導能力,教人知責任、懂擔當,但最最重要的就是“團隊精神”——如何與別人更好地溝通與協作。
從人生的角度而言,我認為這是橄欖球教給我們最有價值的一課,讓我們每天生活的每個方面都能受益於此。
I would say the biggest change that football had on me was the ability to work with other people. Football teaches you how to be tough, be a leader, be accountable, and most importantly it teaches you teamwork, how to work well with others. I think in life that is an extremely valuable lesson and can carry over to everyday life.
巨石達陣:在美國上體育課是怎樣的?體育在教育裡面是怎樣的結合?
GSG:What is the physical education class in the United States? What is the combination of sports in education?
王凱:美國體育課是隔天一上,在課上你可以接觸到各種體育項目,從田徑、羽毛球、籃球,到棒球、橄欖球甚至舉重。每年我們也會有體育測驗,比如長跑、引體向上、仰臥起坐以及柔韌性測試。總而言之,體育課一直都是我的最愛之一。
Physical education classes in the USA is usually every other day. You learn and play every sport in physical education. We do everything from badminton, basketball, baseball, weight lifting, dodge ball, football, and track and field to give some examples. Also, we have tests every year like running the mile, pull ups, sit ups and flexibility. P.E. (physical education) was always one of my favorite classes.
巨石達陣:那麼,你推薦中國的孩子打橄欖球嗎?對他們有什麼幫助嗎??
GSG:So do you recommend Chinese children to play football? Any help for them?
王凱:中國孩子們打橄欖球這件事兒,我是100%打Call!
橄欖球這項運動,是一項真正必須依靠團隊的運動。一名球員能力再出色,也不可能憑藉一己之力收割比賽勝過。想要贏球,隊友之間必須充分信賴,齊心協力。
橄欖球真的是一項偉大的運動,不管你是職業運動員,還是從事其他職業的業餘愛好者,都能從中得到太多有價值、受用一生的收穫。場上的硬碰硬的拼搶與衝撞,僅僅是很多人看到的它的一面罷了。
I 100% recommend Chinese children to play football. Football is one really the only sport where you must really work as a team. One player cannot win alone and must rely on each other to achieve victory. It teaches so many life lessons that are so valuable regardless if you are a professional athlete or a businessman. Not only that, it is great exercise and teaches toughness.
