As a high school football coach, I'm aware that student athletes tend to focus too much on sports. One such player called me at home one night. When my wife informed the kid that I wasn't home, he became frantic and said he had to speak to me right away. “Just calm down, and I'll have him call you as soon as he gets home,” my wife told him. “What's your number?” The flustered kid replied, “Three.”
我是高中橄欖球隊教練。我注意到學生運動員對于比賽過于重視。有這樣一個運動員晚上打電話到我家里。我太太告訴他我不在家,他變得很失控,說他必須馬上和我講話。我太太對他說:“冷靜一點,他一回來我就讓他打電話給你。你的(電話)號碼是什么?”這個緊張的孩子說:“三號。”
