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:
問:學術和體育之間有什麼相似之處?
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.
問:你從體育或學術中學到了什麼,並能夠應用於其他領域?
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.
問:你發現自己在體育和學術上都同樣努力嗎?如果沒有,你更努力地工作哪一個?
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.
問:你最喜歡的運動是什麼?
A: Soccer. I play it on a club team and it’s just a joy to play.
問:你最喜歡的科目是什麼?
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:
問:學術和體育之間有什麼相似之處?
A: I think the similarities between academics and athletics is that you have to work hard to achieve your goals and improve.
問:你發現自己在體育和學術上都同樣努力嗎?如果沒有,你更努力地工作哪一個?
A: For me, I think I work equally between both academics and athletics but I care more about the outcome of my academic grades.
問:你最喜歡的運動是什麼?
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.
The aim of Live Oak's athletics program is to strengthen teamwork and sportsmanship, while helping give students a variety of opportunities to challenge themselves throughout their Live Oak education.
