由于种种原因,UOCSA的龙舟队在星期天的比赛中没有取得理想成绩,以下是我们一个队员有感而发的一段总结。 我个人认为他说的很中肯! 我把这段总结放上来是因为想大家都能借鉴一下,想一下自己做得够不够?怎样才能做得更好?


Hi, guys:
It's the first time for me to talk about this topic as a member of this team; maybe it is also the last time:)

As for seeking a fun of spending our spare time, I am sure we've all got an exciting and unforgetable experience. However, as an official race, it is obvious that we didn't show as well as what we should. If we think back of our practice stage, thinking how many of us come to practice every time instead of all kinds of reasons? thinking how many of us go to gym every week to increase the power of muscles? I think it is the normal to get this result. After all, we can't even enter the start line without any difficulty.

On my way home that day, I met a canadian who was also a team member of another group and talked about the race. Aftering hearing our race result, he said:" you guys need more trainning, more practice."

"I think so, I hope we will be better if we get more practice." I replied him.

"You should be better, it's a chinese sport." He said.

Yes!! "IT'S A CHINESE SPORT!" That's the most impressive words I had heard on that day. I don't know what's feeling of each of us when we landed Mooney's Bay and faced lala team member who had given us brave and inspiration. For me, I am not able to face up them without any regret.

I hope everybody would remember this race forever although it is not a pleasure ending. It is always understandable for the first time since we have no experience at all, but, it would be unforgivable to make the same mistakes again if we have another opportunity to prove of us in the future.
 
Message from our co-captain

Hate to reply to all. However, after I read this msg, I thought, as the co-captain, I should comment on this. I agree with He, we paid for a lot of practices, so we should have a better attendance. I say if we were able to practice more races with 100% intensity as a full boat, we could have been more consistent and error-free. As to not being able to finish the race, I say when the pressure comes, unfortunate things do happen. If there is any consolation, I was told the first lane boat got DQ after our second DQ and they restarted the race without us. They were heading to the finish with a 3 boat length lead and then they made a U turn at the last 50m. So sometimes it is just bad luck. Mike was our best steering person and did an excellent job in many practices. We could not find a better steering person on our team (Sherry and I tried to train other members as steering person but only Mike volunteered). I felt bad when we had to appoint Mike as our designated steerperson.

Overall, regardless of the attendance, everyone has put serious effort in all the races on the race day. We were probably saving our best from the practices for our real races. 2:40 as the time for our first race (not even 100%), that was pretty good. If you guys ever race next year, I am certain you know by now dragon boat is a team sport, everyone is responsible for the result. We must have a serious (not way too serious) and fun attitude as a team. Now just enjoy the sunny summer and there is always dragon boat next year :p!


Feel easy be happy :),
 
You guys did a not bad job although you didn't achieve what you should have. :)
The lucky for all you guys is that you got a good captain and co captain:D
Wish better luck next year!;)
 
其实比赛第二,参与第一。
小龙女真是不简单,一个女中豪杰。
怎么多事情一个人搞定,太不容易了。
谢谢你。
 
大家参与的态度与动机不尽相同吧。有的人是具有体育精神,竞技精神,参与就想获得尽可能好的成绩。而有的同志只在乎参与本身,在于这项运动带来的乐趣,所以对无论什么结果都能坦然。(当然平时训练也就没有“尽一切可能”了,毕竟这次比赛对某些人不是生活的全部,甚至不是最重要的事情)

我觉得无论是出于什么想法,参与了,也努力过了,就好!一个集体,总得有些包容性,总不能要求所有人都一致,不是吗?
 
虽然比赛当天对成绩有一点点失望,但是现在回想起整个的训练和比赛就只有开心。
非常感谢两位队长为这只队伍付出的心血,你们的努力有目共睹;非常感谢舵手和
鼓手,敢于承担重任;也感谢队伍里的其他成员,比赛时大家的专注和竭尽全力也
很让人感动。一回生二回熟,如果以后有机会,我相信大家会作的更好。

毫无疑问我会记住这次龙舟赛,等我七老八十的时候我会微笑着回忆到“我年轻的
时候曾经参加过龙舟赛。。。”

是呀,你说得很对! 不过我得补充一点,龙舟队不是一个人的运动,而是一个最能体现 Team work的运动。二十个人划着同一条船,需要的是齐心协力,需要的是每一个队员全心的投入!

我个人认为"重在参与”是一个不负责任的态度,如果我们有机会卷土重来的话我希望大家能够全力以赴!!!
 
其实参与和竞技精神并不矛盾,只要是体育竞赛,都存在竞技精神.关键是整个队伍的目标设定,是RECREATION呢还是COMPETITIVE?不同的目标意味着不同的选人标准和训练要求,也就意味着这个"参与"的程度不一样了.有些人是冲着RECREATION来的,你硬要他达到COMPETITIVE的标准:训练十次,次次都到,动作标准......不但不现实,也毫无乐趣.

我相信没人喜欢这样的结局:比赛得了第一,但再也不想见到某些人.

无论如何,Having Fun 是最重要的.

Anyway, my point is, next year, two teams: one recreational, another one competitive, could be a better idea.
 
重要的在于参与这话也没错,龙舟是带有竞技性质的娱乐。也不是说从中国来的运动中国人都一定是老大,参与更有意义,活动的结果当然希望是越高越好,但只要大家尽力了,为什么要自责呢?所以重要的是参与,更重要的是认认真真的参与。我先报名娱乐队伍当秤砣 :D
 
“比赛得了第一,但再也不想见到某些人”是什么意思呀?

是呀,很有道理... 可就怕万众不一心! 一条船二十个人划,有人是的目标是RECREATION,有人的是COMPETITIVE。 我作为船长,责任重大呀。

组两条船对comefromchina来说是个好主意,大部分人都上班了,多出点钱无所谓。 可UOCSA的大半是学生,而UOCSA又经费不足,供不起。:(
 
This is our first time participate in a such event, next year, we can definitely do better.
