发帖数: 19398 | 1 Teacher to NBA star: Stay away from my school
Steph Curry is one of the most inspirational players in the National
Basketball Association. The newly crowned Western Conference champion is a
humble leader, a family man, a team player whose work ethic is second-to-
none.
It was that work ethic that allowed him to rise from the ranks of the little
-known high school player to NBA MVP. And it's that work ethic, and his
personification as an every-day guy, that's leading one Bay Area high school
teacher to ask Curry to please stay away.
Matt Amaral is a lifelong Warriors fan. He loves the team, and he loves
Curry. But given the opportunity to have Curry visit Mt. Eden High School in
Hayward, Calif., he says he'd rather not.
"I have to ask you to do me a solid and make sure you don’t ever come visit
my high school," Amaral writes in a blog post directed to Curry.
"When you get involved in soup kitchens, wrap Christmas presents for needy
kids, and build homes for the homeless I am inspired. But where those kinds
of civic-minded activities have clear benefits, I have to tell you something
you probably haven’t heard: Coming to poor high schools like mine isn’t
going to help any of these kids out, in fact, it might make things worse."
There is no indication that the NBA is actually trying to send Curry or his
teammates to the school. Regardless, Amaral hopes the league never will. He
goes on to explain his reasoning.
"If you come to my school you will be your usual inspiring, humble,
hilarious, kind self and you will say all the right things. ... I mean, you
are such an awesome guy, you are a family man with a wife and daughter, with
another on the way. ... You are humble, a leader, and clearly our young men
need to meet a man like you. Maybe I’m wrong to write this letter.
But the reason I don’t want you to come has to do with what you won’t say.
..Because the worst thing you won’t tell them Steph, is that they can’t do
it. You won’t tell them that will you? You won’t be able to bring
yourself to tell them it is already too late. ... You see, the kids I am
talking about do not play year-round, they are not in a travelling league,
and they have never even heard of a McDonald’s All-American; they just eat
McDonald’s two meals a day and have Hot Cheetos in between."
In his school, most of the students don't have back-up plans, he writes. If
they meet Curry and believe they, too, can become NBA stars, they'll likely
ditch any other options. He wants them to be realistic.
They are already very good at dreaming about being rich and famous, what we
need them to do is get a little more realistic about what is in their
control. We need less of an emphasis on sports and celebrity in high school,
because it is hurting these kids too much as it is.
He's right to say that most kids, if they are not playing a sport by the
time they're in high school, have a very small chance of going pro in that
sport. While it might sound like he's counting his kids out, he's really
just a concerned teacher trying to encourage them to consider all of their
options - especially those beyond going pro.
"Steph," he writes, "you and I know they have a better chance of winning the
lottery, but no one seems to tell them these things but me." | u*****a

发帖数: 1028 | 6 i dont agree with this teacher. with modern day media and technology, kids
get to see these celebrities and athletes perform and excel every day in
their lives. keeping kids from close access to their idols is not the way to
do it. they should simply communicate and plan better, make sure these VIP
visitors pass on the right message when they are in the school.

发帖数: 13135 | 10 你看看O8的女儿在哪儿上学，黑人区，还是白人为主的私立学校？藤孝每年招的黑人中
，有将近一半儿是从富人和移民家庭来的？藤孝真那末同情烂区里的黑人，为啥不全部
都招烂区里面的黑人？干脆每年保证50%的入学的孩子是从黑人的烂区里来的，不就行
了，还免他们学费。
当然也不是没有学校这末干过。NEW YORK CITY COLLEGE， 以前被称为穷人的哈夫，
INTEL的前ＣＥＯ就是从这个学校毕业的。后来为了让每个人都有上学的机会，规定Ｎ
ＥＷ ＹＯＲＫ 居民，只要ＳＡＴ分数达到一个比教白卷分数高不了几分的标准，就
可以入学。为啥藤孝之类的不模仿NEW YORK CITY COLLEGE？

发帖数: 6276 | 11 斯蒂芬•库里是 NBA 球员里最受欢迎的球星之一。他和林书豪一样高，但比林书
豪轻十磅。可以说，斯蒂芬是 NBA 历史上最准确的投手，没有之一。他曾两次刷新
NBA 同一赛季命中三分球的纪录，目前是该纪录的保持者（283个三分）；原纪录保持
者是雷·阿伦。他同时成为 NBA 历史上投中 1000 个三分球最快的球员，仅用了 369
场 NBA 比赛;比前纪录保持者丹尼斯·斯科特 少了 88 场。目前库里也是 NBA 历史上
在季后赛中投中 100 个三分球最快的球员，仅用了 28 场季后赛；雷·阿伦是该纪录
的原来的保持者 （35场）。他的出色表现，让他打败老北京，成为2015年度 ＮＢＡ
最有价值球员。
在斯蒂芬高中毕业的2005年，他的身高只有 1.88 米，体重仅 164 磅；没有一个全美
有名的体育联盟大学（从 Duke 到 Virginia Tech）给他体育奖学金。只有名不见经传
的 Davidson，VCU，和 Winthro 答应给他体育奖学金和代表学校上场打球的机会。他
选择了 Davidson。在他的第一个赛季，斯蒂芬场均得分 21.5 分，作为一年级生排名
全国第二，仅次于大名鼎鼎的 凯文•杜兰特！
是什么让斯蒂芬有如此辉煌的 ＮＢＡ 战绩呢？
１）天赋：其父亲是原 ＮＢＡ 球员。
２）勤奋刻苦：斯蒂芬是一个出名的刻苦训练的球员。下面的油管录像就是讲这个事情
的。这和我们用题海战术训练孩子数学技巧，大同小异。而其成长过程，至少和林书豪
的篮球生涯，一样坎坷；当然斯蒂芬的篮球成就远高于小林，不可同日而语。当你看到
斯蒂芬在场上的巨人丛中穿插自如，梦幻般出手命中时，没有球迷不为之叹为观止。
３）自推的动力。斯蒂芬自己的原话：
“It wasn’t like I always wanted to be a pro basketball player,” Stephen
Curry says. “I had to make that decision. Dad always told us that whatever
we wanted to do, he’d support us. He wasn’t ever going to push us to the
gym; sure, he’d go with us, but it’s not like he’d wake us up and force
us to go. That helped me a lot, because my work ethic has always been my own
and not someone else forcing it on me.” | k****m

就是，有这些个条件，是个人都能成功
可是就是有些人不明白。。。。。。
就是没有过人的天赋，通过勤奋刻苦，一般的中产也是有把握的
有些人就是不明白
唉，是体制问题？ | u*****a

发帖数: 6276 | 16 Steph did field an inquiry about what being a father has taught him, and how
Riley, his 2-year-old daughter, has helped him get ready for the biggest
series of his life.
The ever-cool Curry quickly offered with a pitch-perfect and very fatherly
response:
"She's breaking down film with me," Curry deadpanned. "She's really — she's
my biggest critic at home."
But then, presented with an opportunity to talk a bit more about his pride
and joy, the MVP couldn't help himself.
"Being a father kind of gives you something more to play for," he said. "I
think off the court, it just grounds you every day, because no matter if I
have a good game, bad game, score 40, score 10, I think my daughter's going
to be happy to see me when I get home, and that kind of makes everything all
right."
"So I rarely ever have a bad day, regardless of what happens on the court,"
he added. "It just gives you something more than basketball to kind of play
and live for, and it's pretty special. Obviously, every father would say
pretty much the same thing about what their daughter or son means to them
and how they impact their life."
Sounds like Riley's not the only one who feels blessed. |
