Winter Sports Student-Athlete Spotlight
Live Oak recently recognized two student-athletes with the Winter Sports Student-Athlete Spotlight. Eighth grader Wheeler M., who participated on the Live Oak cross country and basketball teams this year, and seventh grader Ailey S., who ran cross country and played basketball, were recognized for their hard work and leadership skills in the classroom and in athletics.
Wheeler was interviewed and asked about his thoughts on academics and athletics. Here were his responses:
问：学术和体育之间有什么相似之处？
A: Something similar between athletics and academics is that you are always trying to get better and learn new strategies/tactics to do well in the test/game.
问：你从体育或学术方面学到了什么东西，并能够应用到其他领域？
A: One thing I was able to apply from both to the other one was hard work. If you work hard in athletics/academics, you can be really good and make a lot of progress fast.
问：你是否发现自己在体育和学术方面同样努力工作？如果不是，你在哪一个方面更努力？
A: I work the hardest at activities that I have an intellectual curiosity in. I feel that I have that in my academics and athletics but slightly more in athletics.
问：你最喜欢的运动是什么？
A: Soccer. I play it on a club team and it’s just a joy to play.
问：你最喜欢的科目是什么？
A: P.E. I really like it because there are so many activities that we do and you don’t have to be good at them to have fun.
Ailey was also interviewed on some of these same topics and here were her responses:
问：学术和体育之间有什么相似之处？
A: I think the similarities between academics and athletics is that you have to work hard to achieve your goals and improve.
问：你是否发现自己在体育和学术方面同样努力工作？如果不是，你在哪一个方面更努力？
A: For me, I think I work equally between both academics and athletics but I care more about the outcome of my academic grades.
问：你最喜欢的运动是什么？
A: Basketball is my favorite sport because I can focus on many things at once and construct different skills throughout time. I am a big basketball fan and I worship the team's contribution and effort.
