Beck’s Tip:
贝克的贴士

Swimming is a sport of individualism, where we are measured in distance against time. It is a sport where we fight a personal battle against ourselves. Competition is the arena for this struggle, but daily practices create the groundwork and path to our performance and essentially, our success in the water.
游泳其实是一个带有个人主义特点的项目，根据不同的长度测量时间作为成绩。游泳是一项一个人和一群人之间的战斗，竞争就是这个战争舞台上的手段。然而我们平常的训练虽然只是一些地面上的工作，但他仍然是非常重要的，因为那是我们通向水中成功唯一的道路！

Practice sessions transform the individual to a team member, where it is no longer one swimmer against the clock. Training in a team atmosphere can bring out the best in individuals.
日常的训练会议把我们由个人变成了一个团队。在这里，不再是一个人对着计时器的战斗。对于个人来说，团队的训练更有助于取得最好的结果。

A team atmosphere can allow great things to take place, but conversely, negative attitudes or behaviors can ruin the environment for success. There are many things you must ask yourself when you are a member of a team: Do you add to a positive environment or do you detract from it? Do you talk negatively about others or your coach? Do you listen to the advice offered by your coaches? Do you see yourself coming to practice late or leaving early? Are you excited about the challenges offered at practices? Do those who aren’t training as hard distract you, or are you jealous of them?
团队的氛围有时候可以培养出伟大的东西！然而，负面的态度或者行为却更容易产生不利于成功的氛围。当你成为一个团队的一员时，有很多东西需要你来了解：你是加入了一个氛围良好的团队还是在这里不断地收到打击？你总是认为你的教练和队友只有负面的东西吗？你能够听从你教练的意见吗？你的训练是慢慢地变成来得晚，去得早吗？对于有挑战的练习，你还能够维持维持着你的兴奋吗？那些训练没有你认真的人是否打击了你，或者你只是嫉妒他们？

A great training atmosphere helps programs and their swimmers become successful. A positive environment is made up of swimmers who have the following:
一个优秀的训练氛围能够帮助我们制定优秀的训练程序，也是运动员通向巨大成功的助益。在这样的氛围里，运动员一般能够做到下面的一些事情：

Goals: A defined purpose to strive for.
目标明确：制定一个明确的目标，大家努力为此奋斗！

Focus: Staying determined and working to meet goals. Keeping a positive attitude during stretches and spending necessary time training and preparing.
中心明确：维持既定目标，努力争取达到目标！对于需要延长或者或者花时间进行训练或者准备的事情需要保持正面的态度。

Ownership: Putting in the time and taking pride in the training process. This can also be an individual who maintains a training logbook.
主任翁精神：投入时间并为自己的训练得计划感到骄傲。这一点对于那些坚持写训练日志的运动员一样有效。

Accountability: A commitment to the program displayed through strong attendance. This also includes individuals who make positive choices in and out of the pool setting.
明确的责任：运动员的参与强度直接显示了训练计划执行状况。这个品质甚至于可以推广到泳池之外：表明他是一个愿意接受正面的建议的人。

Action: Having a positive attitude and being open-minded about challenges presented daily.
明确的行动：对于日常的挑战，应该做一个态度端正、思维开放的人。

Awareness: Being aware of goals, how to achieve them and an understanding of how to move closer to them.
清醒的思维：对于目标，我们应该有一个清醒的认识。我们应当了解如何达到这个目标，并也应当清醒地知道如何逐步接近这个目标。

Your coach sets rules and behavioral regulations such as limiting excessive talking, hanging on the wall, using cell phones at the pool and maintaining strong attendance. You and your teammates have a strong impact on one another. Each person has the power to preserve or create a positive environment that can bind a great team. An atmosphere reflecting a sense of pride, accountability and mutual respect will allow great things to happen in competition and beyond, but it is ultimately up to you. It is your choice and your sport.
为了维持一个好的训练氛围，你的教练可能会设立一些规定，比如限制尖锐的争论、张贴小字报、在泳池内使用移动电话等等。你和你的队友之间终会存在冲突。其实每个人都有能力去阻止或者帮助形成一个正面的训练环境并组成一个伟大的队伍。氛围其实包含了某些因素如：为团队感到骄傲、勇于承担团队内的责任、或者队友之间的相互尊重，而这些可以作为比赛甚至于比赛之外的事情取得成功的巨大助益。当然，这最终取决于你自己：这是你自己的运动，也是你自己的抉择！
