* 访谈文字整理如下

1


新冠疫情的爆发,激发了人们对追求健康生活的思考,您认为人们的行为会有什么变化?


24/724小时,7天,即“全天候”的生活方式和数字时代的到来意味着我们线上活动时间的显著增加,在当前全球疫情大流行期间这一特点将更加明显。由于疫情影响,我们需要在生活方式行为上采取一种更平衡和更全面的方法,这种方法我将其称为“身体互动”。

现在有很多在线的手机应用/程序/平台为多媒体互动、线上学习和体育活动提供了非常便捷的机会。我相信我们将会形成一种更加融合、创新和持续改进的方式——即把在线体育活动和行为生活方式的工具,跟我们能够在实际生活、工作和学习场所里开展的练习进行一种更好的平衡


The outbreak of COVID-19 has stimulated people’s reflection on pursuing a healthier life. What is your view on possible behavior change after this? 


The 24/7 lifestyle and digital age means we are experiencing a significant and increased level of on-line activity and this will be even more apparent during the current pandemic globally. As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, we will need to see a more balanced and holistic approach in lifestyle behaviours that sees us pursuing a new approach, which I would now like to call ‘physically interactive’.

There are many apps/programs/platforms online that now provide an opportunity to be very engaged with multimedia, digital learning and physical activity. What I believe will happen is that we’ll see a more blended, innovative and ongoing improvement on how we strike a better balance between what we do online with the physical activity and behavior lifestyle tools available to this, and what we do with any actual exercises that we can now undertake at home, in our respective work environment or in our schools, universities and communities.

为什么体育活动很重要,尤其是当涉及到人们精神和情感健康的时候?


人类是一种天生具有身体攻击性的“智者”。侵略有多种表现形式:被动的、公开的、理智的、聪明的、战术性的、甚至是策略性的表达,但最终我们的实体形态使身体成为所有软件的硬件,这些软件通过我们的身体、静脉、肌肉和体块运行。无论什么体型,我们都是所感受到的一切的物质表现,而能量则反映在不屈不挠的人类精神之上。

我认为运动是“一种工具,一种媒介,一种疫苗”它能够刺激我们,让我们感知周遭世界,并与环境、人群、人际关系及一切让我们保持积极心态和高质量生活的事物产生社会和文化上的互动。从我练习空手道的经验来看,帮助年轻人与一群有着不同背景、生活方式和经历的人打交道,提高了我的人际交往能力;我所学的实际技术,以及所养成的有关于空手道的行为特征,都改善了我的个性,并发展成了所谓的“生活课程”——这是一种日常的仪式,一种训练的习惯和惯例,这种有规律且不断重复的练习,建立了我的信心、自尊以及对他人的尊重


Why is physical activity important, particularly when the mental and emotional wellbeing is concerned?


We are primarily a species of homo sapien (Latin meaning: wise man) innate physical aggression. Aggression has many forms of expression. Passively, overtly, intellectually, intelligently, tactically, or even strategically expressed but ultimately it is our physical forms that allow our bodies to be the hardware to all the software that courses through our bodies, veins, muscles and body mass. Whatever the body type, we are all physical expressions of everything that we feel with the energy reflected in the indomitable human spirit.

When I talked about sport as ‘a tool, a vehicle, a vaccine’, I’m talking about its ability to stimulate us, and allow us to feel the environment around us, and to socially and culturally engage with our environment, the people, the interpersonal relationships and everything that we would see give us a positive mindset and quality of life as a result. From my own karate experiences, it was the ability to acknowledge the younger to be able to engage with a group of diverse backgrounds, lifestyles and experiences that improve my interpersonal skills. The actual techniques that I learned, and the karate behavioral characteristics that I gained have improved my personality, and developed what I called a ‘curriculum for life’. That is a daily ritual, a habit and routine of training and the disciplined and repeated training, that established my confidence, my self-esteem, self-respect and as a result respect for others and my community.

您对于追求卓越的行为和表现的“哲学”是什么?五次世界冠军的经历对其形成有什么影响?


我的成功哲学来自于我在指导各个大洲、不同文化和不同年代背景的人的行为表现时所获得的信念和经验,即

99%的健康存在于两耳之间

这意味着你的心态是依靠训练有素的专注力和经过不断演练的行为方式养成的,而此类思维模式是塑造你情商的社会和文化环境的一部分,并且像软件一样,通过处理大脑皮层上传的认知影响,作用于你的脑力——因而许多人将它称为“第三只眼”。我们每天接收到的成千上万的画面塑造了我们所见、所感、所触、所尝、所闻、所听时的情感盔甲和恢复力。这些能力都是为了确保我们在遇到诸如此次疫情及今后的任何逆境中能够生存下来。

卓越的水平是指将所接收到的信息可视化并将把其转化为目标计划,及一系列的行动纲领和影响力的能力。“成功哲学”可以应用到现实生活、学习和工作环境中。要做到这一点,首先要确定你有一个愿景、一个使命和一个计划。然后根据计划为自己设定一个方向,一个你想要到达的地方,并确立一个时间节点。



我五次获得世界冠军的成功是一个愿景,使命和计划最终达成的顶点,反映在日积月累的重复训练、仪式、习惯和专注的纪律中。如今的年轻人生活在一个瞬息万变的世界,只需动动手指就可以获取最新资讯,拇指可以说是他们身体中获得最多锻炼的部分。然而,他们年轻、聪明,也正因为此,更需要培养良好的习惯和行为定式,在日常训练和人际交往中形成特有的行为特征,使他们在积极和建设性的环境中既能有效利用当今数字媒介,又能不断发掘自身的精神、身体和情感潜力


What is your philosophy on behavior and performance in pursuit of excellence? How does your five times world championship contribute to its development?


My philosophy is derived from my belief and experience of coaching human behavior and performance over many continents, cultures and intergenerational abilities that ‘99 percent of fitness is between the ears’. That means that your mind-set is developed as a result of a disciplined focus and behavioural-set of rehearsed tasks and actions. The mentality that supports the mind-set is one of the social and cultural environments that has shaped your emotional intelligence. That in turn informs your brain power, which, like software, is consistently uploaded by the cognitive influences of the cerebral cortex. Many people call that the ‘third eye’. This is when millions of images that we receive every day shape the emotional armour and resilience of what we see, feel, touch, taste, smell, and hear. These are all developed to ensure that we survive experiences such as COVID-19 and any life adversity.

The level of excellence is the ability to visualize all the information that is received and translate that into a mission of aims and objectives with the plan. That plan can be then translated into a platform of action and impact. The ‘winning philosophy’ can be applied to real life, study and the work environment. How that can be done is again by making sure that you have a vision, a mission, and a plan. And as a result of that plan you can set yourself a direction, a place where you want to arrive at, you can then identify a timeline.

My five world championship successes were the culmination of a vision, mission and plan expressed and reflected in many hours of repeated behavior, ritual, habit and focused discipline. Young people now live in a far too fast-moving world, information is available to them interactively using their thumbs, which are arguably the most exercised part of their anatomy. However, they are young, bright minds of software, and as a result, they need to be given even more daily rituals, habits and routines of behavioral characteristics of exercise, human interaction and the ability to see them use both the digital age and their mental, physical and the emotional potential in a positive and constructive environment.

在忙碌的都市生活中,增进人们参与体育运动的主要挑战是什么?有什么好的方法可以重塑健康的生活习惯?


24/7的全球性互动式生活方式是影响整个社会的精神、身体和情感健康及福祉的挑战之一。科技在我们日常体育活动中扮演着越来越重要的角色,如今很多应用程序和人工智能系统可以通过机器、体育馆和在线教练提供数据,通过标记人们所投入的努力,给用户带来自我成就感。然而,你无法取代人们之间的社会和文化互动,这种相互作用促进了个人和集体的关系,而这种关系是构成各种社会形态的基石

我目前正在运营一项名为“健康智慧”的项目。它包含一个技能元素,即从一系列多样且广泛的,以身体技能为基础的体育活动中发展出的一套日常训练方案,此方案适用于拥有任何体型、体质水平及兴趣趋向的人群。第二个元素是将技能转化为实际的活动选择。举个例子,我的选择将限定在武术和空手道,年龄为62岁,并计划在4月12日与当代空手道运动员进行一场比赛。然后我将返回到技能阶段,检测自己是否具备应对挑战的相应技能。最后一个是应用,它是一个计划、一项测试,也许会是一场比赛或马拉松,以及其他可以测试训练成果的途径。一个明确的目标将帮助你在顺利完成任务后获得相应的认可、奖励和尊重


这一项目在多年的发展过程中提供了一系列“交互式”的健身计划,专门设计来满足学生、专业人士或社区运动爱好者的生活方式需求,并通过其维持健康良好的心理、身体和情绪状态。我相信,这场疫情过去后,它还可以有助于重新建立及增进一些重要的社会关系


What are the main challenges to engage people in sports in the context of hustle and bustle of urban living? Any good approaches for reshaping healthy living habits? 


The 24/7 global interactive lifestyle is now one of the greatest challenges to the mental, physical and emotional health and wellbeing of society as a whole. Technology is playing a greater part in our everyday physical activity aspirations with more apps and artificial intelligence providing data with machines, gymnasiums and on-line coaching that can give an individual the sense of personal achievement and above all the evidence to benchmark their efforts. However, you cannot replace human social and cultural interaction that develops the individual and collective relationships that are the bedrock of society in all its shapes and forms.

I am currently working on a program called ‘Healthwise’. There is firstly a Skills element, which is to develop a routine of exercises, drawn from a very diverse and broad suite of physical skill-based movement related activity, that can suit any body type, any fitness level or any interest or suitability of exercise. Then the second element is how that is translated from skills into an Actual Activity of Choice. So for example, mine would always be the martial arts and karate in particular, at 62 years of age, I was planning to compete on April 12 with the current generation of karate athletes. So I then went to the skill level and tested myself in the skills and the training that would see me assessed as to whether I could meet that challenge. And then the Application, the plan, the test, a competition, a marathon and what would be other opportunities to be able to test the healthwise approach. A goal of some description that could help you get that recognition reward and respect of a job well done.

This has been developed over many years and provides a range of ‘interactively active’ fitness schedules that have been devised to specifically meet the lifestyle demands of the everyday student, professional or wider community enthusiast. With this system, you can stay in exceptionally good mental, physical and emotional health. I believe that it could also re-engage and re-establish the all-important relationships that would need to resolved once this pandemic has ended.

青少年体育教育的价值何在?我们为什么要向年轻人强调其重要性?您认为西方国家的做法也适用于中国吗?


我认为体育是一种最真实的教育形式,因为它有助于建立行为特征,将好的公民变为具备权利和责任感的优秀世界公民。它可以是课堂上、操场上、校园里、甚至整个社会中的成就和表现。我曾在非洲造访过一个学校,那里没有可供学习的教室,没有纸笔——坦白地说,只有一个建筑的外壳。我们是英国贸易代表团的成员,而体育活动被用来增进与当地社区的交流,以此为英国的贸易愿景和意图提供一种文化元素。我们基于仅有的球类和我的武术演练制定了一个教学计划,并提供了一个包括识字、地理、历史在内的完整课程。此次经历极大地激发了我的灵感,使我意识到体育教学可以作为一种手段来培养全面发展的世界公民


年轻人是一种社会、文化和经济维度的投资。我所成立的“青年宪章”的宗旨和任务目标是:鼓励年轻人参与体育、文化、艺术和数字化活动;帮助他们提升心理、生理和情感上的生活技巧和顺应力;并赋予他们接受高等教育的抱负、就业能力和创业精神。此外,我们还希望帮助他们成为具备权利和责任感的世界公民,通过贡献他们潜在的天赋和才能,不断改善和提升他们自己、他们的家庭、他们所在的社区和整个地方和全球社会。

另外,我认为西方国家的做法适用于中国,同样中国的做法也适用于西方国家。我想用太极作为一个代表性例子。太极是一种影响几代人的运动,能为人们的心理、生理和情绪健康福祉保障带来突出效用。它作为一种文化活动,逐渐被引入到不同社会环境中,并成为普遍接受的生活方式。这是中国给予世界的一个例子,让我相信体育和艺术是一种全球通用的语言,当多种文化走到一起时,你就会看到全球公民意识在最大程度上为所有人架起希望和机会的桥梁。因此,我相信中国正在为世界提供适应不同社会环境的文化活动,并为促进和平与宽容作出努力。


What is the value of youth sports education? Why should we emphasize this with the young people? Do you think what is practiced in western countries would be applicable to China too?


I believe that sport is education, the truest form of education for it establishes behavioural characteristics and it turns good citizens into great global citizens with rights and responsibilities. It could be attainment and performance in the classroom, in the playground or campuses or beyond into the society as a whole. There was an example once when I was in Africa with a school, which had no classroom learning, no pens or pencils and quite frankly, just had a shell of a building. We were part of a UK trade mission, where sport was being used to engage the wider community in providing cultural elements to Britain's trade aspirations and intentions. We came up with a program of learning to use a ball, and with the martial arts I just needed the space, all I had to do was to perform. But we were able to deliver literacy, geography, history, a whole curriculum of learning through sport. And it very much inspired what I believe to be sport as an educational opportunity in developing a well-rounded global citizen.

Young people are a social, cultural and economic investment and the Youth Charter philosophy and mission aim is to: engage young people with sport, culture, art and digital activity, equip them with mental, physical and emotional life-skills and resilience and empower them with the aspiration of further and higher education, employability and entrepreneurship. The additional benefits are realized through the global citizenship of rights and responsibilities, and in contributing their gifts and talents of potential in the ongoing betterment and improvement of themselves, their families, their communities and society as a whole, both locally and globally.

I believe that what is practiced in western countries would be applicable to China as well as Chinese practices being applicable to western countries. I’d like to use Tai Chi as a wonderful example. Tai Chi is one of those activities that is of intergenerational and exceptional benefit to mental, physical and emotional health well-being and safeguarding. It is one of the cultural activities that is becoming globally introduced to many societies and into general lifestyles. That’s the example of what China is giving the world, and I believe that sport and the arts are a universal language and when a diversity of cultures come together, you see global citizenship at its greatest level of building bridges for hope and opportunity for all. So, I believe that China is helping as many nations to provide and present cultural activity that is transferable and build bridges of peace and tolerance.

什么是整体性的体育生态系统?您为什么认为这是我们应该追求的目标?


西交利物浦大学体育发展目标旨在提供良好的健康福祉、学术项目、研究和创新机会、商业机遇和社区发展,并助力其成为地方和全球领先的卓越机构。这些战略主题也将在联合国2030可持续发展目标范围内得到落实。

整体性的体育生态系统也将致力于推进西交利物浦大学领导力议程生态系统和共生主题卓越中心的建设,包括以下方面的融合:

  • 社会责任与慈善

  • 基础教育

  • 教师发展社区

  • 学习与教学创新社区

这些政策将通过目标-任务-策略流程平台,和依托人工智能机器人服务的文化机制实施,并分别在西交利物浦大学苏州工业园区和太仓校区内交付使用。这个体育生态系统已经发展成为一个社区校园模式、文化框架和研究影响指标,可以提供具有较高信度的输出以及定量和定性的社会、文化和经济数据结果。我相信在21世纪的数字化学习、创新、发展和研究背景下,这些数据将会是一个非常宝贵的资源。


What is holistic sporting ecosystem and why do you think this is what we should aim for? 


XJTLU sport will aim to develop and deliver good health and well-being, providing academic programs, research and innovation, business enterprise, community development and excellence as a world leading institution locally and globally. These strategic themes will also be delivered within the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

A holistic sporting ecosystem will also aim to take forward the newly developed XJTLU leadership agenda eco-system and symbiosis themed centre of excellence:

  • Social responsibility and charity

  • Basic education

  • Community of teacher development

  • Community of learning and teaching innovation

These policy implementation themes are delivered within the vision and mission strategy process platforms and cultural mechanisms of a connected digital AI robotics leadership service within an XJTLU SIP and TC campus. This sporting ecosystem has been developed as a community campus model, cultural framework and research impact metrics that can provide imperial outputs and outcomes of quantitative and qualitative social, cultural and economic data, which I believe is a very valuable currency in 21st century learning, innovation, development and research.

我们怎样才能维持这个生态系统,并为社区的应变能力作出贡献?


此生态系统为学校和社区带来的益处主要反映在对教职人员、学生和社区居民的精神、身体和情绪健康的保障和福祉提升上。由“青年宪章”倡导的“社会教练领导力计划”中,学生和教职人员作为社会教练,每周至少为校园内外推广体育、文化、艺术和数字化等一系列活动贡献两小时。一旦COVID-19成为历史,我们所贡献和集体投入的时间将是一笔伟大的财富,有助于发展我们正在寻求重建及重新定位的那种强大的社区韧性。阅历丰富的社会教练能够通过分享故事、常识、人生智慧和生活经验来激发希望和机会。我认为这将成为教职人员和学生作出“社区参与-社区赋能-社区携手”重大贡献的一个非常核心的部分


How can we maintain this ecosystem and contribute to community resilience? 

The benefits to both the institution and the community are reflected in the mental, physical and emotional health, well-being and safeguarding of the staff, students and wider community. An example of this is the Youth Charter Social Coach Leadership Program. This would see students and staff as social coaches contributing a minimum of 2 hours a week to wider community and civic engagement providing sporting, cultural, artistic and digital activity both on and beyond the campus. The hours contributed and collectively delivered is a great currency that develops that wonderful resilience we are seeking to re-establish, re-connect and re-position once COVID-19 is consigned to history. Social coaches with strong emotional intelligence are able to provide a story that inspires hope and opportunity. They bring common sense, wisdom and life experience lived. That is why they form a very central part of what I believe would be a significant offer for staff and students for the community, by the community, and with the community.
