To me, Sports Summer Camp is supposed to be all about fun. No talent or skill, just fun. However, it's not so much fun when kids get hurt if you ignore basic techniques. That's at today's 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade soccer. No one cared about scoring except for the counselors. At one time, the 4th-grade counselor came flying toward our goal. I stepped in the way of his shot. Was there any consequence? Getting hit in my right cheek with a ball kicked from two feet or more than half a meter away by a 20-year-old guy made my eyes blur. Ouch, didn't it seem as bad as our goalkeeper? She was chatting away with her friend when some kid blasted the ball into the side of her nose. She got a bloody nose, and the game ended there. Soccer is characterized by speed, strength, accuracy, foot and eye coordination, playmaking, passing, dribbling, bravery, heading, slide tackling, determination, endurance, and protecting oneself. However, this game was more about the lack of skill that caused injuries. Nobody had enough potential to run around the defenders, so the kids ran through them. I think that sometimes, skills are required for sports like soccer. 【紅霞譯】
在我看來，運動夏令營應該是大家開心快活的地方，並不是表現天賦或者施展本領的場所。但在尋歡求樂的同時，絕不能忽略基本技巧，以損傷身體為代價，這正是今天小學四、五和初中一年級足球場上所發生的事情。 除了輔導員留意比分之外，營員們並非在乎誰贏誰輸。其間，四年級輔導員帶球朝我們大門飛奔而來，此時我站的位置恰巧擋住了他的去路，結果如何﹖這位廿歲的愣頭小伙子從兩英尺、超過半米處近距離臨門一腳，球狠命打中右臉頰，我眼冒金星，痛得要命！不過這遠不如我們守門員下場慘烈，她正跟朋友聊天，有人重力踢球，球從側面打中其鼻梁，頓時血流如注，比賽只得草草收場。 足球集速度、力量、準確性、腳與眼協調性、下腳意識、傳球、帶球、頂球、鏟球、果敢、耐力、自我保護等技能之大成，然而，倘若缺乏基本知識，足球比賽很容易造成人員傷害，夏令營里沒有幾位真正具有運動細胞的天才，知道應該繞過對方防守球員，而非莽撞衝過人牆。我覺得有時候像足球這樣的運動只有掌握一定的技巧，才會玩得皆大歡喜。
