美国队前锋阿比•万巴赫（Abby Wambach）指导未来的日本球星练球。
美国国务院国际信息局（IIP）《美国参考》特约撰稿人Phillip Kurata从华盛顿报道，美国国家女子足球队（U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team）为参加国际比赛在日本进行训练期间抽空为50多名日本女青少年提供训练。这些青少年来自曾受到地震、海啸和核电灾难打击的地区。
3月27日，美国女子足球队队员和日本女青少年在仙台（Sendai）泉区（Izumi）足球场同场练球，还举行了临时组织的比赛。位于日本主要岛屿本州岛（Honshu）东部海岸的仙台曾遭受三重灾难，发生核辐射事故的福岛第一核电站（Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant）就在附近。
从当地青少年足球联合会招募的日本女青少年观看了美国女队的训练，然后下场听取美国队队员讲解训练要点，并兴高采烈地参加临时组织的比赛。
美国队后卫希瑟•米茨（Heather Mitts）与两位梦想进入日本国家队的球员讲述足球战略。
美国女子足球队前往日本参加麒麟麦酒株式会社（Kirin Brewery Company）组织的年度麒麟杯（Kirin Cup）比赛。美国政府支持训练班的活动。这项活动被纳入“通过体育加强妇女和女青少年自主能力”（Empowering Women and Girls Through Sports Initiatve）的外交项目。
主管教育与文化事务的助理国务卿安·斯托克（Ann Stock）表示，体育运动可以成为增进社会和经济自主权的重要工具，对于妇女和女青少年来说尤其如此。
2月17日，斯托克在国际奥林匹克委员会（International Olympic Committee）的世界妇女和体育运动大会（World Conference on Women and Sport）上指出：“一再有事实说明，各行各业从事运动的妇女和女青少年往往能获得成功，女青少年参加运动与她们获得高等教育及就业直接相关。”

U.S. Women’s Team Shares Love of Soccer with Japanese Girls
By Phillip Kurata | Staff Writer | 29 March 2012
U.S. forward Abby Wambach sets up a training drill for future Japanese stars.
Washington — The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team took a break from training for an international tournament in Japan to offer coaching to more than 50 Japanese girls in the region struck by the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster last year.
The U.S. women and Japanese girls got together on the Izumi soccer field in Sendai March 27 for a clinic and pickup matches. Sendai, on the eastern coast of the main island of Honshu, is in the region struck by the triple disaster. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the site of the radiation leak, is in the vicinity.
The Japanese girls, who were recruited from local youth soccer leagues, watched the U.S. women work out, then joined them on the field for coaching tips and spirited pickup matches.
U.S. defender Heather Mitts talks strategy with two players who dream to play for Japan’s national team one day.
The U.S. women’s team is in Japan to participate in the Kirin Cup, an international tournament organized annually in Japan by the Kirin Brewery Company. The U.S. government supported the clinic as part a diplomatic program known as the Empowering Women and Girls Through Sports Initiatve.
Ann Stock, assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs, says sports can be a key tool for social and economic empowerment — especially for women and girls.
“The evidence consistently proves women and girls who play sports find success in all walks of life. Girls’ participation in sports correlates directly to higher education and employment,” Stock said to the International Olympic Committee’s World Conference on Women and Sport February 17.
