“WHY”系列

The ‘WHY’ series

Jeremy Michaels (FBHS)

I do a lot of coaching - children, adults, career students, competitors, beginners to advanced level - all different types and standards of riders.

我做過很多教學(xué)工作，教授過從初學(xué)者到高級(jí)別的不同類型和水平的騎手：包括兒童、成人、馬術(shù)專業(yè)學(xué)生和競賽騎手。

 

I teach riding - primarily, jumping and dressage, I teach lungeing, stable management and I train coaches. As you can see I teach a wide variety of standards and topics!

我的授課內(nèi)容和主題多樣，包括騎乘（主要是場地障礙和盛裝舞步），打圈、馬房管理，還培訓(xùn)教練。如你所見，我的教學(xué)涵蓋了與馬術(shù)相關(guān)的多個(gè)方面。

When I started riding at the tender of age 12 years, I was taught by someone who told me what I should do, for example hold the reins between your third and little finger, close your fingers round the reins. Of course I obeyed the coach and did what I was told and of course never questioned why I had to it that way.

回想起自己12歲開始騎馬的日子，那時(shí)的我遵循著教練的每一個(gè)指令，比如用無名指和小拇指夾住韁繩，握住韁繩合上手掌。然而，那時(shí)的我從未深究過這些動(dòng)作背后的原因。

 

I am sure you have also been told by your coach or someone ‘knowledgeable’ who works with horses, ‘You must do it this way’, but with no explanation as to WHY you should do it?

我相信你也有過類似的經(jīng)歷：你的教練或 “資深且博學(xué)”的行家里手告訴你“必須這樣做”，卻沒有解釋原因。

 

In subsequent articles, I will be exploring and discussing WHY it is important to do certain things with and around horses and ponies.

在接下來的文章中，我們將探討與馬匹一起工作相處時(shí)，為什么某些做法至關(guān)重要。

 

Some coaches are very good at explaining why you should do something where others merely tell you that you must do it without any explanation. Most of us will comply with the command to do something without question but few of us will ask WHY?

有些教練擅長闡述動(dòng)作背后的的原因，而有些則只是告訴你該怎么做，卻不做任何解釋。我們大多數(shù)人在面對(duì)指令時(shí)，往往會(huì)選擇遵從，卻很少主動(dòng)詢問“為什么”。

 

Personally, if someone explains WHY I should or shouldn’t be doing something and it makes sense, it stays in my mind, so that in the future because I understand the reasoning behind the request I will do it because I know WHY I’m doing it.

對(duì)我來說，當(dāng)有人向我清晰、合理地解釋某個(gè)動(dòng)作或行為的原因時(shí)，我會(huì)更容易記住并付諸實(shí)踐。因?yàn)槔斫饬吮澈蟮倪壿嫞以谖磥砭湍芨幼杂X地執(zhí)行，明確自己的行動(dòng)目的。

 

EDUCATION is critical, so the more we understand the reasons WHY we need to do something the more LOGICAL it is and the better we UNDERSTAND.

理解某項(xiàng)行為的深層原因，能讓我們更認(rèn)同其邏輯并更好地踐行它。教育的重要價(jià)值體現(xiàn)在能幫助我們深入理解這些原理，使我們?cè)趯?shí)踐中更加自信。希望未來的分享能夠?yàn)槟銕砀嗟膯⑹竞退伎肌?/span>
