Unit eighteen Sports
[00:06.14]1.Listen and answer the questions.
[00:12.46]1 Hello, and welcome to today's "You & Yours".
[00:16.80]On today's programme we look at childrer who are trying to be champions in the world of sport,
[00:22.83]and the pressures they cml be under to win, win, win.
[00:27.69]Now I spoke1 to Allan Baker2, the former British Athletics4 coach,
[00:32.94]and he had this to say.
[00:35.19]Well, the problem is that you want to find these children at quite a young age,
[00:42.84]to train them and motivate them as early as possible.
[00:46.89]Umm...at that age they don't have social problems,
[00:51.51]you know they don't have boyfriends or girlfriends,
[00:55.14]so they give their sport the whole of their life.
[00:59.19]Umm, but they're so young that they can lose their childhood,
[01:04.63]and they're adults before they're 16.
[01:07.97]But of course they're not adults at all.
[01:11.81]Physically they can be quite developed,
[01:15.55]but emotionally they're still children.
[01:18.89]Everybody's looking for the new young star of the future,
[01:23.41]because there's a lot of money to be earned.
[01:26.47]Tennis is one of the sports
[01:31.72]where youngsters5 can play against their elders with more than a chance of success.
[01:36.97]In America there are tennis schools which accept children from as young as 9.
[01:42.90]So from the age of 9 a boy or girl is playing tennis for four or five hours every day,
[01:49.66]and doing ordinary school work around that.
[01:53.50]I spoke to the team manager of the English Lawn Tennis Association,
[01:58.65]Para de Gruchy.PG
[02:01.08]You see,we've already seen two 14-year-old American girls,
[02:06.82]that's Tracy Austin and Andrea Jaeger, playing at Wimbledon,
[02:12.26]and now, both at 18,
[02:15.31]they are now already showing the pressures on their bodies mud their minds,
[02:20.28]and people are beginning to question whether this is a good thing for children.
[02:25.14]A 14-year-old just can't cope with the pressures of Wimbledon,
[02:29.76]the tournament, the Wimbledon crowds, and the press reporters.
[02:34.62]Well,I say to my girls,
[02:37.68]"Stay at home, stay at school, do the things that teenagers like doing.
[02:43.42]If you like swimming, well swim;if you like going to dances,just go!
[02:49.35]"And if when they're older they'd really like to be a professional tennis player.
[02:54.99]Well,they'll be a little older than the Americans,
[02:59.12]but they'll be better people for it, of that I'm perfectly6 sure.
[03:03.07]I  Para de Gruchy thinks
[03:06.62]that young players shouldn't be allowed to become professionals
[03:10.67]until the age of 17 or 18 at least.
[03:14.30]I asked her what was responsible for the pressures on the young players-
[03:19.03]was it the money that can be earned, the parents, or perhaps the children themselves?
[03:24.96]PG  Oh no, it's the parents, Without a shadow of a doubt.
[03:29.68]They want to push their children.
[03:32.61]I get letters from parents saying,
[03:35.95]"My little Johnny enjoys playing tennis all day,
[03:40.00]and he'd like to learn only that and be trained by a professional coach",
[03:45.02]and quite frankly7 I just don't believe it.
[03:48.86]I   But what about the youngsters themselves?
[03:52.91]Robert, a 100-metre and 200-metre runner gave me an idea of his training programme,
[03:59.67]and his own very simple way of avoiding trouble.
[04:03.51]R   Well,I train under a coach for three days a week,
[04:09.05]and uhm...and...then decide how much running to do.
[04:13.28]If I've trained hard, well then maybe I run five miles, you know,
[04:19.03]if not so much, then eight miles.
[04:22.87]Well, of course, I'd like to go to the next Olympics and represent Great Britain,
[04:28.62]and of course I'd like to win a gold
[04:32.17]but there are lots of other things I like doing with my life too.
[04:35.80]Uhm, I, I, play in a rock group and I'm also a keen photographer.
[04:41.73]Well, I suppose for me the most important thing is enjoyment8.
[04:46.69]If, if you win, you're happy, and if you lose, it's the same.
[04:51.21]I mean ifyou start getting upset every time you lose,
[04:55.26]I think it's time to stop.
[04:58.19]The sports stars of tomorrow, and good luck to them.
[05:03.83]2.Listen again and much the numbers with the pictures.------
[05:10.26]Well, I've been playing it since I was at school--
[05:14.59]since I was quite young,
[05:17.52]"cos my dad was always very keen on it and he used to give me lessons,
[05:22.14]and then at university I joined a team and we used to play quite a lot.
[05:27.68]It's quite fashionable at the moment, actually,
[05:31.62]all over Europe it's becoming more fashionable and it's often difficult to book courts.
[05:37.66]You've got to get in there a week before.
[05:40.90]Um I like it because it requires a lot of stamina9.
[05:45.63]You've got to be fit.
[05:48.16]It's constant running right the way through and it doesn't take a long time.
[05:53.91]You can take off an hour at lunchtime, go off play, have a shower,
[05:59.26]come back and it's all over with,
[06:02.08]and you've done a lot and it's not a lot of standing10 around.
[06:06.32]It's movement all the time.
[06:09.55]Er,you're often absolutely exhausted11 at the end,
[06:14.18]and you can't really play for two hours at a shot although some people do.
[06:19.43]It's usually for quite a short time.
[06:23.06]I think I've been playing now for nearly forty years,
[06:28.49]ever since I was a little kid on the beach at Blackpool,
[06:32.33]and it's always been my great passion in life.
[06:36.07]When I watch a game I appreciate the athletic3 skill of the players,
[06:41.08]the tactics12 of the manager or coach,
[06:45.13]and the thrill of the uncertainty,
[06:48.37]just not knowing how the game's going to go,
[06:52.32]even when a very strong team's playing a very weak team.
[06:56.55]There's always that possibility of a surprise,
[07:00.39]of the unexpected moment changing the game.
[07:04.52]Well, I've been doing it every winter holiday since I can remember.
[07:10.76]I love doing it because it's a skill that improves every time you do it.
[07:15.62]It's fast and it's exhilarating
[07:19.25]and although it's really cold you can still get a tan when you do it.
[07:23.87]Of course the scenery's beautiful
[07:27.11]and it's really nice when you're tired to go and have a drink in a bar afterwards.
[07:32.86]Of course the problem is that it's expensive--you have to buy the equipment;
[07:38.89]the instruction's expensive too and it's really dangerous,
[07:43.33]you can always break a leg doing it,
[07:46.49]but apart from that, I really like it.
[07:50.13]3.You will hear three people talking about their favourite sport
[08:01.78]Match them to the relevant pictures below.
[08:05.51]Rope Jumping
[08:10.66]Rope Jumping.
[08:14.21]Jumping rope is an activity any boy or girl can learn to do.
[08:19.23]You can jump alone or with a partner.
[08:22.86]You can also help turn a long rope for many others to jump over,
[08:27.87]one at a time.If you jump alone, you will needa short rope
[08:32.89]which should be just long enough for your height.
[08:36.23]Try ropes if different lengths until you find one which fits your size.
[08:41.87]A clothesline rope makes a nice jump rope and can be used because it is clean,
[08:48.64]smooth, and not too stiff13 and can be cut into different lengths.
[08:54.39]A rope should be tumed slowly.
[08:58.02]It must also be turned high enough to let you jump freely and safely.
[09:03.27]Turning the rope freely and safely requires careful timing14.
[09:08.70]In rope jumping,
[09:11.52]timing means turning the rope slowly
[09:14.97]enough so that you can jump over it at the right time without its striking15 your feet.
[09:20.90]You will notice that when you jump rope,
[09:25.13]you breathe faster and your cheeks have a healthy color.
[09:29.65]But, if you jump too many times at first, you will get too tired.
[09:35.40]You must learn when to stop for rest before you jump again.
[09:40.41]As you practice, you can increase the number of times you jump without resting.
[09:46.45]When you are using a long rope, two pupils hold the ends.
[09:52.48]A long rope can be ten to fifteen feet long.
[09:56.92]The rope is turned slowly by two pupils.
[10:01.65]The others take turns jumping.
[10:05.20]You run in when the rope is being swung in the direction away from you,
[10:10.56]so that it doesn't strike your face.
[10:13.28]You must learn to judge when to run in.
[10:16.83]Notice that good rope jumpers do these things:
[10:21.98]Jump on their toes Bend their knees
[10:26.94]Use their arms to help them keep their balance
[10:31.56]You can test yourself in rope jumping by trying these tests:
[10:37.31]1. Jump correctly a certain number of times.
[10:42.17]2. Jump correctly a certain number of times on the left foot and then on the right foot.
[10:48.93]3. Jump correctly with your arms crossed.
[10:53.90]4. Change feet on each correct jump.
[10:58.86]5. Try all of these tests,time them,
[11:04.29]and record the number of jumps done correctly in one minute.
[11:09.02]4.Listen and fill in the following notes.
