運動是一輩子的事 #1 | Sports is a Lifetime Commitment #1
（不是很快，但隨心運動一下的我）
(Just running for no reason)
今天跑步之後突發靈感寫了這篇 Blog
「運動是一輩子的事」。疫情期間我們上網課，體育科目只能學習理論，諸如運動急救、運動守則和體育概念等等。對於我這時候還不熱衷運動的同學而言，當然是趁這時間與同學打遊戲。
當中五恢復實體課程後，一次生涯規劃課給了我深刻啟示：「中學短短六年，不算太長但也不算太短，你在校園中的經歷才是中學最珍貴的寶藏。」（口語：你嘅中學生活得六年，話長唔長、話短唔短，呢六年你喺學校所經歷嘅所有野先係中學旅途最寶貴嘅事）
這或許是因為離開實體體育課一年有餘，讓我開始重新投入體育課（也因此進了醫院一次，過度投入了 哈哈），並嘗試重新欣賞這個曾經不太喜歡的範疇。
坦率地說，若非是體育科老師那熱情的教導，哪怕每週體育課只有一節，我根本不會好奇地期待著體育課會有什麼新安排。記得一次閒聊時老師說：「你們的優勢，在於無論運動能力高低，都願意嘗試和學習。不會因為運動能力不高就拒絕參與運動，更不會視體育課為隨便消磨時間的課程。」（原本對運動有偏見的我，認為它是野蠻遊戲，可能是受到街場文化的影響。）對我來說，以前的體育課就像是一堂用來趕功課和溫習的數學課，哈哈。
事實上，我自己的運動能力並不是很優秀，雖然嘗試過許多運動項目，從乒乓球、羽毛球、跑步、單車、游泳到小型賽車、三項鐵人等，但一直沒有持之以恆地參與運動。然而，慢慢地開始接觸體育課程，並積極參與運動活動，甚至協助其他運動員，這一切都只發生在一年之內。這一年改變了我很多，因為在田徑場上的訓練，讓我更多地與老師溝通，擁有更多想法，也更深入了解運動...... (待續)
(One year before the athletics meet I am nowhere near a sporting student, but one year later in the athletic meet I participated in 100m, 1500m, inter-house 4x100m and 4x400m Relay)
After my run today, I was struck with inspiration to write this blog. "Exercise is a Lifetime Commitment." During the pandemic, we had online classes, and in the Physical Education lessons, we could only learn theory, covering topics like sports first aid, sports guidelines, and sports concepts. For someone like me, who wasn't passionate about sports at that time, it was an opportunity to spend time gaming with classmates. (R6S moments!)
When we resumed face-to-face classes in the 2020, a career planning session provided me with a profound insight, a wise word from my career advisor: "Secondary school is a relatively short six years, not too long but not too short, and it's your experiences on campus that are the most valuable treasure of your school journey." Perhaps being away from physical education classes for over a year, I began to reintegrate myself into the subject (even leading to a hospital visit due to overexertion, haha), trying to appreciate this domain that I once didn't quite enjoy.
To be honest, if it weren't for the enthusiastic guidance of our physical education teacher (thanks so much!), even if we only had one physical education class per week, I wouldn't have eagerly anticipated what new activities would be arranged. I remember a casual chat with the teacher when he said, "Your class is good because everyone lies in being willing to try and learn, regardless of your sporting ability. You don't refuse to participate in sports just because you might not be the best at it, and you don't view physical education as a leisure class to kill time." (I used to have biases against sports, considering them as barbaric games, possibly influenced by street culture.) For me, junior form physical education classes were like math classes used for rushing homework and revision, haha.
In reality, my own sports abilities are not exceptional. It's horrible I'll say. Although I've tried various sports, including table tennis, badminton, running, cycling, swimming, and even karting and triathlon, I never consistently engaged and participeted in any sports.
However, slowly getting back into physical education classes and actively participating in sports, even assisting other athletes, all of this happened within just one year.
This year has brought about significant changes in me. The training with track and field team has facilitated more communication with my PE teacher which deepened my understanding of sports so much... (To be continued)
