　　You Cannot Fix a Real Faith
        　　真正的信仰不容“操纵”(纳特.霍尔曼)
        　　I realized that the responsibilities of any teacher are great and that those of a coach who spends more time with his pupils than any other teachers are even greater. Not only do I spend more time, but I feel emotionally closer to them, seeing and sustaining my students when they lose as well as when they win.
        　　我认识到教师的职责是伟大的，而教练和学生呆在一起的时间更多，他们的职责更伟大。我不仅花费了更多的时间，在感情上也与他们贴得更近。不管学生胜负与否，我都陪伴、支持着他们。
        　　Because of this peculiarly intimate relationship with the members of my team in their most impressionable and formative years, I know that I can exercise great influence for good or bad on them. I try by the example of my own character and actions to set them a standard of moral behavior. For this reason, I have always tried to be very clear in my own mind about the principles in which I believe.
        　　在他们最难忘的成长岁月，我和队员们建立了特别亲密的关系。所以，我知道自己能给他们好的或坏的影响。我努力以自己的性格和行为为他们树立道德规范。因此，我心里时刻谨记信仰和原则。
        　　Take the desire to win, fundamental with every competitor. Naturally, it’s important to me, both as a player and coach and as a human being. I believe the competitive urge is a fine, wholesome direction of energy. But I also realize that the desire to win must be wedded to an ideal, an ethical way of life. It must never become so strong that it dwarfs every other aspect of the game or of life.
        　　要赢，这种欲望对每位竞争者至关重要。它对我自然也很重要，无论是作为一名选手、教练还是一个普通人。我相信竞争的欲望能使精力朝着良好健康的方向发展，但我也认识到，获胜的欲望必须与理想、有道德的生活方式联姻，求胜心一定不能太强，以致妨碍比赛或生活的其他方面。
