室内曲棍球选手特迪·伦纳德表示,10年的运动生涯使他学会说“能”,而不再说“不能”。伦纳德近期将出征在韩国平昌举行的世界冬季特殊奥运会。

南加州莫雷诺谷(Moreno Valley,Southern California)的特迪·伦纳德(Teddy Leonard)获选出征韩国平昌(Pyeongchang)世界冬季特殊奥运会(Special Olympics World Winter Games)。这位29岁的室内曲棍球选手以前从未见过雪,也没有坐过飞机,直到他和他的队友在2012年12月中旬飞往纽约州的普莱西德湖(Lake Placid, New York)参加集训,情况才发生了变化。普莱西德湖曾经举办过两届冬季奥林匹克运动会(Winter Olympics)。

多年来,室内曲棍球改变了伦纳德。伦纳德表示,10年的运动生涯使他学会了说“能”,而不是“不能”。他还学会更加注意倾听并通过倾听进行学习,而不是顶撞教练和父母。

在练习曲棍球的过程中,伦纳德和他的队友也养成了更好的饮食习惯。这些选手开始食用健康食品并抵制含糖的碳酸饮料。所有队员一共成功减重超过180公斤,其中伦纳德本人减掉了18公斤。伦纳德球队的努力最终获得了回报——他们开始战胜过去打败过自己的对手。

伦纳德期盼在1月29日开幕的冬季特奥会上接触到其他文化和语言,获得进一步的成长。

Floor Hockey Gives Player Winning Attitude

22 January 2013

Floor hockey player Teddy Leonard says 10 years of playing the sport has taught him to use the word “can” instead of “can’t.” Leonard will soon be on his way to Pyeongchang, Republic of Korea, to compete in the Special Olympics World Winter Games.

Until he was selected for the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Pyeongchang, Republic of Korea, Teddy Leonard of Moreno Valley in Southern California had never seen snow or been on a plane. That changed when the 29-year-old floor hockey player and his teammates flew to Lake Placid, New York, in mid-December 2012 to train. Lake Placid has hosted two Winter Olympics.

Floor hockey has changed Leonard over the years. Through his decade of playing the sport, Leonard says, he has learned to use the word “can” instead of “can’t.” He has learned to listen more, and to learn from listening, instead of talking back to coaches and parents.

During their hockey training, Leonard and his teammates also learned about better eating habits. Players began to eat healthy foods and shunned sugary carbonated beverages. Combined, the team shed more than 180 kilograms; Leonard dropped 18 kilograms of that weight. Leonard's team was rewarded for its hard work when it began to win games over teams that previously had defeated it.

Leonard looks forward to further learning as he is exposed to other cultures and languages at the Winter Games starting January 29.
