Fall Student-Athlete Spotlight
Live Oak recently recognized two student-athletes with the Fall Sports Student-Athlete Spotlight. Eighth graders Hope Truslow and Isabel Ames, who participated in Live Oak volleyball and cross-country this year, were recognized for their hard work and leadership skills in the classroom and in athletics. Read more about these student-athletes below.
Hope was interviewed and asked about her thoughts on academics and athletics. Here were her responses:
В: Что общего между академическими и спортивными занятиями?
A: Something that is similar is that you truly have to work hard for both of them. Whether it’s studying for a test or practicing for a game, a big amount of effort goes into both of them.
В: Считаете ли вы, что одинаково усердно работаете и в спорте, и в учебе? Если нет, то над чем вы работаете больше?
A: I think overall, I spend more time on academics, but both subjects have a point in time where I work harder for them. For example if there’s a tournament coming up, I put more work into athletics, or if there’s a test or a project I work harder for academics.
Q: What do you find to be the most challenging aspect of academics?
A: The most challenging aspect of academics is putting an equal amount of care into all of the subjects you have and learning how to balance the different classes, work and projects.
В: Какой ваш любимый вид спорта?
A: My favorite sport is volleyball!
В: Какой ваш любимый предмет?
A: I love all my classes but science and Spanish are my favorite.
В: Есть ли у вас пример для подражания в учебе или спорте? Если да, то кто это и почему?
A: My athletic role model is Simone Biles because of how she stays calm under pressure and works so, so hard for the sport she loves.
Isabel was also interviewed on some of these same topics and here were her responses:
В: Чему вы научились в спортивной или академической сфере и смогли применить это в другой области?
A: Collaboration is a skill I have strengthened in both sports and school. You need to work well with others in athletics, especially soccer. It is also necessary to collaborate with other students and sometimes with your teachers.
Q: What facet of being a teammate do you find the most similar in both fields?
A: For both athletics and academics, you have to be good at communicating. At school, you need to be able to communicate with your teachers and classmates, especially in group projects. In sports, especially soccer, you also need to be good at communicating to be a successful team.
В: Какой ваш любимый вид спорта?
A: I don't really have a favorite sport. I enjoy all of my sports for different reasons, and if I only participated in one, it would not be as fun.
В: Есть ли у вас пример для подражания в учебе или спорте? Если да, то кто это и почему?
A: I don't have a specific role model, but everyone who is investing and participating in women's sports is really inspirational. I watch a lot of women's sports with my family. My parents also got me into all the sports I play, especially running.
Q: Have you had teammates that have made you a better athlete?
