Spring Student-Athlete Spotlight
Live Oak recently recognized two student-athletes with the Spring Student-Athlete Spotlight. Seventh grader Jasper Scagliotti and sixth grader Evelyn Fritton, who participated in Live Oak futsal this year, were recognized for their hard work and leadership skills in the classroom and in athletics. Learn a little bit more about Jasper and Evelyn with their interviews below.
Jasper 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: Academics and athletics are similar because you must put time and commitment into positive results. For example: studying for quizzes and practicing sports.
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: I've learned many time management skills that I can apply to my schedule which includes both.
问：学术和体育之间有什么相似之处？
A: I try to be the most successful I can in both subjects, and commit to both equally in my schedule. I do realize that I prioritize project work time over practices when the due date is tight.
Q: What facet of being a teammate do you find the most similar in both fields?
A: I find that in both, you must work with your teammates to master/create the best play/project you can. You each chip in to support each other.
Q: What do you find to be the most challenging aspect of athletics?
A: The most challenging aspect of athletics in my opinion is being consistent, and having a good mindset for every game.
Q: What do you find to be the most challenging aspect of academics?
A: The most challenging aspect of academics in my opinion is finding time outside of class to learn more, elaborate, and grow. I have struggled with that, especially because of sports commitments.
问：你最喜欢的运动是什么？
A: My favorite sport that I currently play is soccer! I love futsal probably just as much.
问：你最喜欢的科目是什么？
A: My favorite subject this year has probably been math, because of solving equations and the Pythagorean Theorem, which are both very important for the future. I also love humanities, and ancient civilizations. I like imagining life at that time.
问：你有一个学术或体育方面的榜样吗？如果有，是谁，为什么？
A: No, but my mom is someone who really inspires me!
Evelyn 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 what is similar is that you have to work hard and if you are not the best at a particular skill in a sport or academically you have to put in time and effort to improve.
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: I learned in athletics that you have to keep trying, in beach soccer I had to keep trying over and over again to get a flick just right. In academics you have to keep trying to get an answer correct. It's also about repetition, mastering the skill by doing it over and over.
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 hard both academically and athletically. I've learned that school really helps with sports, for example doing group projects help with communication and collaboration; Which are essential in sports.
Q: What facet of being a teammate do you find the most similar in both fields?
A: You have to be really good at listening to others and supporting others; help bring them up, not push them down.
Q: What do you find to be the most challenging aspect of athletics?
A: I think it's mental toughness: remaining focused under pressure and recovering from mistakes. I find the saying ''make failure your fuel'' a big part of who I am as an athlete and as a scholar.
Q: What do you find to be the most challenging aspect of academics?
A: I think the most challenging part of academics is finding balance with all the material we are studying and also finding balance to be able to take in that material being a busy student-athlete.
问：你最喜欢的运动是什么？
A: I have two favorite sports: soccer and track & field.
问：你最喜欢的科目是什么？
A: My favorite subjects are humanities and math. I really like math because it helps me see angles when playing soccer. I really like humanities because I like grammar and learning about past and present events.
问：你有一个学术或体育方面的榜样吗？如果有，是谁，为什么？
A: In track I would say Gabby Thomas because she is an incredible 200m runner and she went to Harvard and she holds a degree in neurobiology. In soccer I would say Midge Purce because was a student-athlete and she went to Harvard. She also has amazing tactical awareness and is very versatile in her positions. Additionally, she is a great leader on and off the field. Both these athletes are academic and athletic champions.
