　　在留學領域上眾所周知，如果你在體育上非常突出，更容易被歐美一流的高中和大學錄取。英國最著名的伊頓公學上有著條著名宗旨：運動第一，學習第二。牛津大學久負盛名的羅德獎學金，招生標準其一就是熱愛體育，最好有運動成就。

　　國外名校能喊出“運動第一，學習第二”這樣的口號，并不是因為他們不重視學業(yè)，而是他們認為，比起單一的分數，預測一個孩子未來成功的指標要復雜的多。而這些指標絕對不是單單依靠課堂上的那些知識就能順利完成，運動所帶來的團隊合作、毅力也可以是其中之一。

　　作為一所融合中西方文化的國際學校，運動精神是海嘉國際雙語學校不可或缺的一部分。作為國際學校體育運動協(xié)會（ISAC）和中蒙國際學校協(xié)會(ACAMIS)的會員，海嘉每年舉辦幾十余場重要的校際體育賽事，如ACMIS Sliver Division男女籃球錦標賽等。學期末，海嘉女子足球隊前往成都參加了年度的的ACMIS錦標賽決賽，我們采訪了女子足球隊的選手們，一同和您分享他們與運動的點滴精彩：

　　賽季來臨的時候，女子們每周都要進行3次足球訓練，每一個學生都需要兼顧學業(yè)和其他課外課活動，如何協(xié)調好時間對于每一位選手來說都是一個考驗。

　　12年級的Eve就是其中之一。作為畢業(yè)生，Eve在海嘉堅持足球運動已經五年了。面臨升學和畢業(yè)的壓力，很多球隊的選手都會選擇退出球隊，但是Eve在加入球隊以后，始終保持著每周2-3天的訓練時間。

　　如何協(xié)調好學業(yè)和興趣愛好的時間呢？

　　在Eve看來，自我管理能力是很重要的一項能力。在IGCSE、IB課程的自主學習中，她很好的鍛煉了自我的時間管理能力，把一切做到之前?！疤崆耙粋€月準備好考試的一切，把長遠的目標劃定出每天需要完成的小目標，持續(xù)堅持”在這個12年級的海嘉畢業(yè)生身上，你會發(fā)現她持之以恒的堅韌。

　　同樣，來自九年級的Chloe從四年級的就開始踢球了，并持續(xù)至今。對Chloe而言，在運動中她學會了自信和從容“我們每個星期都會出現，訓練有時候會很激烈，但是我們喜歡奔跑、競賽的感覺。”

　　對于賽場的隊員們來說，每個人都通過足球收獲了更多。對Grace 和 Annika 來說，足球是一種很好的方式來建立和發(fā)展友誼。女子球隊是一個非常好的環(huán)境，讓選手中在賽場中學會合作、收獲友誼。不同年級的選手聚集在一起，他們有著足球共同的熱情，他們學會互相鼓勵、互相合作，一同見證彼此的成功，也一同分擔比賽的失利、緊張。

　　共同的目標，是選手們團結一致的基礎。正如Grace所說的：“我了解隊友們的優(yōu)點和缺點，以便我們能夠更好地互相幫助。在運動中，我們學會了包容、團結和協(xié)作?！?/p>

　　體育對于任何正在發(fā)育的青少年來說都很重要，而且在訓練和現場學到的技能和經驗教訓是技能是寶貴的人生課程。面對學習的各類壓力，正如足球教練Albert van der Gugten向我們介紹的那樣：“足球運動可以很好地緩解他們在學習上的緊張情緒，舒緩他們的壓力，并且在未來的升學中有所助益。更重要的是，他們在賽場中、賽場下，更可以和不同的人接觸，互相學習。在賽場中，他們將收獲的是無可替代的友誼?！?/p>

　　賽季結束了，孩子們開始了他們的暑假生活，而賽后選手們也保持密切的聯(lián)系。一整個賽季，女隊的選手們有輸有贏，然而在我們采訪的過程中，他們對于成敗有著自己獨到的認知。正如Chole所說的：“我們不會只關注成敗，我們專注的是，在每一次成敗中收獲的經驗。所有的經歷，都讓我們變得更加強大?！?/p>

　　而這，正是足球的魅力所在。

　　With the immense growth at BIBA since its inception in 2006, one of the sports that has also been rapidly developing is the BIBA HS Girls Football team. From its humble beginnings where it was a struggle to scrape together a team for games and tournaments to this year with a squad of 22 strong, the growth and development is a sign that girls football is taking off at BIBA.

　　With a team that is diverse in skill and culture, the girls commit to coming together 3 times a week over the football season to train. With each student having to juggle school work, homework and other extra-curricular activities, it is a great lesson in prioritizing time. Eve, who is in Grade 12, has been playing football for BIBA for 5 years. As a student who is quiet in most aspects of life and school, Eve enjoys the aspect of football that requires her to be more aggressive and assertive. Her team mate Chloe, who is a grade 9 student and plays attack for the team, says that sometimes the trainings can be intense. She has played since the 4th?grade and loves the support from her teammates. “They show up every week, are committed and have the passion to play the game.”

　　The girls have all found their way to soccer for various reasons. For Grace and Annika it has been a positive way of meeting new people and developing friendships. The BIBA HS Girls Football team is an extremely supportive environment where the girls come together across different grade levels with a common passion for the game. They support, encourage and deeply want to see each other succeed. The girls all have their strengths and weaknesses and help to balance each other out. This year was the first time that the BIBA HS girl’s football team made it to a tournament final, a sign that the squad is going from strength to strength. ? ? 　　Sport is important for any developing teenager and the skills and lessons learned in training and on the field are skills are valuable life lessons, as Eve has discovered this year as she has balanced football with her last year at high school, exam pressure, graduation and extra-curricular activities. The coach for the Girls HS Football team Albert van der Gugten tells us about how the skills gained through football are transferrable and can be taken and used as the students navigate their way through High School, university and work. Mr van der Gugten has been teaching at BIBA since 2016 and this year would be his 3rd year coaching the students to the ACAMIS tournament held in Chengdu. This tournament hosts teams from across China and is one that only 12 students from the squad are selected to attend.

　　Across the football season, the team takes part in many matches during the school week, with tournaments being held on the weekend competing against schools from around Beijing and sometimes Tianjin. Grace enjoys the challenges involved in playing in a team sport, learning her teammates strengths and weaknesses in order for them to be able to help each other out. No sports team is successful without working together to reach a common goal. Teamwork is essential to a good performance from any sports team, professional or not, and is a great way to teach students certain life lessons, such as cooperating well with others and taking responsibility for actions. Such lessons are applicable to life outside of sports and can be applied to work or school. Other important benefits gained from participating in a team sport are cooperation, social interaction, confidence and accountability.

　　Throughout the season the girls have learned valuable lessons, including how to deal with failure. “Instead of dwelling on the negatives, we focus on the positives and learn from our mistakes” says Chloe. Coach Gugten agrees, “In life you will not always win. Sport helps the students to build resilience and perseverance. It is great to win, but it is also good to learn how to lose.”
