Student Spotlight 学生访谈系列 | Female Athletes at CIS 校运动队中的女生力量

<<<文字部分左滑查看中文<<<

Student Spotlight is a regular series, where we meet and talk to members of our talented student community.

在“学子故事”系列中，

我们将会和CIS同学们谈谈他们的校园生活

Athletics has the power to change lives. As the recent Beijing Winter Olympics has shown us, sporting achievement sees no gender. In fact, it has the ability to drive gender equality by teaching girls and women teamwork, self-reliance, resilience and confidence

At CIS, our female athletes make up about half of the number of students participating in all Grizzly teams, including soccer, basketball, volleyball, swimming, badminton and track and field. We know that with maximum female participation in sports, we can build a future where every girl and woman can play, be active and realize her full potential, both in sport and in life. We talked to one of our athletes, Anita, to find out how CIS is developing leadership through athletics. #GirlPoweratCIS 

体育运动拥有改变生活的力量。最近结束的北京冬奥会告诉我们，体育成绩是不分性别的。事实上，通过赋予女性团队合作、自力更生、适应力和信心，体育能够进一步推动性别平等。

在CIS，女性运动员约占校队人数的一半，参与到所有校队项目中，包括足球，篮球，排球，游泳，羽毛球，田径等。我们很清楚，只要她们能最大限度地参与到体育运动中，我们就能够推动一个更平等的未来：每个女孩都能在生活和运动中积极参与、发声，实现自己的潜能。CIS 采访了资深体育校队运动员Anita，让我们看看CIS的运动项目如何培育未来领导力。#女性力量

How many sports do you play? Any favorites so far?

你在灰熊校队参加过哪些运动项目？最喜欢的是哪个？

I’ve played soccer, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, and badminton. I actually have two favorite sports: basketball and soccer, because they are very team-oriented, and I have made a lot of friends during training and matches. I really enjoy working with my teammates. I also feel a sense of accomplishment when the ball goes in the net/basket. We win some, we lose some! We are a strong team, and we always cheer for each other.

我参加过足球、篮球、排球、乒乓球和羽毛球。其中两个最喜欢的运动是篮球和足球，因为它们强调团队意识，我在训练和比赛中交了很多朋友。我非常喜欢和队友们在一起。进球也为我带来了很大的成就感。即使我们没有赢得比赛，我们仍然是一个团队，永远为对方加油。

What’s your proudest moment in Grizzlies?

你在校队中最骄傲自豪的时刻是？

Well, you might think it’s the moment when we win and get a trophy, but that’s not the case for me. It’s actually the moment when we all huddle up, stack our hands together and call out "GRIZZLIES" every single time before a game. It makes me feel proud that I’m a CIS Grizzlies athlete and a proud female in sports. It also makes me feel that we can win, and it gives us immense amounts of energy!

你可能觉得会是我们赢得奖杯的时刻，但对我来说不是这样的。而是每一次比赛开始前，我们围成一圈，叠起双手，大声喊出“Grizzlies”的时刻。那个时候我感受到自己是 CIS 灰熊队的运动员，一名自豪的女性运动员。它也给了我们必胜的信心，向彼此传递了巨大的能量！

Sports requires athletes to be committed to both training/games, and also maintain your academics. How do you do that?

体育项目要求运动员平衡训练比赛与学术成绩，你是怎么做到的？

I’m in Grade 7 now, which means that we have very high academic expectations. Our sports training time has also been extended to 5pm. That means less time for learning at home. For me, I’ll get up early to catch up any unfinished school work the day before. Sleeping is very important for me. If I sleep well, then I’ll be able to concentrate better during classes and I can finish more schoolwork in class, which means more time to play sport!

我现在上七年级，意味着学业要求更高了。校队训练时间延长到了下午5点，意味着在家学习的时间更少了。对我来说，我会选择早起完成前一天未完成的功课。睡眠对我来说很重要。如果我睡得好，就能在课堂上更好地集中精力，提前完成更多作业，也就意味着有更多时间投入到运动中。

What do you learn from your athletic experience?

你从自己的运动体验中学到了什么？

Teamwork is important. Always be kind to other players, whether it’s a teammate or a competitor from other school. Be honest, be respectful and always stay positive!

团队合作很重要，善待其他运动员，无论是队友还是对方学校的队员。诚实，尊重别人，永远保持乐观！

What’s your understanding of leadership in sports?

你如何理解运动中的领导力？

In sports, it is not only the team captain or the coach that leads the team. Everyone can be a leader by spreading good vibes and positive energy among team members. My only wish: I would love to more girls join our team and play sports. Sure, we have several girls on our team, but nothing is stopping us from growing in size, stature and strength! CIS gives us equal opportunities, so now is the time to stand up and go for your goals!

在体育运动中，领袖不只是队长或教练。通过在团队成员中传播正能量，每个人都可以成为领导者。我希望更多的女孩加入我们的队伍中参与运动。当然，我们有女队员，但这个群体还可以更大，更强！CIS 给了我们公平的机会，现在正是追求目标的好时机！

Thank you, Anita, for sharing your experience with CIS community. CIS will continue to provide stronger athletic programs and opportunities for all students. Stay tuned, as our CIS Grizzly Football Club will open soon for sign ups! More information will be shared on CIS official channels!

感谢Anita分享她在 CIS 的体育参与体验。CIS将继续为所有学生提供更强大的体育项目和更多参与机会。CIS 灰熊足球俱乐部将很快开放报名！更多信息将在CIS官方渠道分享，敬请关注！
