http://ppt.cc/mnds Pacers Bring Nutritionist on Board 溜马请到了新的营养学家 In professional sports, teams and players are always looking for that extra edge. Sometimes, it may be as simple as additional work in the gym or a new drill on the court. 在职业运动中，球队和球员们总希望着能表现得更加活跃。有时候，这只需要靠着在 体育馆内的额外作业或是在场上新的练习方式就能达成。 At the conclusion of last season, where the Indiana Pacers played their way to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, team strength coach Shawn Windle wrote a recommendation list for this year. One of his recommendations was to utilize a nutritionist. 上个季末，当溜马在东区冠军战血战七场後，球队的健身教练Shawn Windle为今年列 了张建议清单。其中一项建议是请一位营养学家。 Through their partnership with St. Vincent Sports Performance, the Pacers have added Lindsay Langford to the team to provide players with her expertise in nutrition. 透过与St. Vincent Sports Performance的合作，溜马请来了Lindsay Langford，希 望藉由她在营养学的专业知识来帮助球队。 注：St. Vincent Sports Performance是Catholic Healthcare System的一个部分，算是 广义的健身中心。 “We’re a provide-every-resource-imaginable type of team,” said head coach Frank Vogel. “Shawn brought to us that it might be helpful to provide a nutritionist to these guys and we’re all for it.” 「我们是支广纳百川的队伍，」总教练Frank Vogel表示。「Shawn告诉我们为这些球 员请个营养师应该有帮助，而我们全都同意。」 Langford won’t be with the team everyday by any means, but she’ll consult with the players and assist Windle whenever possible. Windle, by the way, was named Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year in 2012 by the National Basketball Strength & Conditioning Association (NBSCA). Langford不会着球队东征西讨，但是她会谘询每个球员并尽可能地协助Windle。另一 方面，Windle被NBSCA（国家篮球体能协会）选为年度最佳健身教练。 “It’s always a discussion with each player what their nutrition plan is,” Windle said of how much nutrition is addressed amongst the team. “We have a lot of guys that are pretty good, and then we have some guys that don’t really see the benefit. It’s not so much that they haven’t been educated, but a lot of guys would prefer to eat based off their tastes rather than what their body needs. 「和每个球员商量他们的营养计划永远是个话题，」当Windle谈及营养学在球队中起 到的作用时如此表示。「我们有很多很棒的球员，但是他们并不是全都知道这个的好处。 这和他们有没有学过这类知识无关，而是他们倾向吃他们喜欢吃的东西而不是他们身体所 需要的东西。」 “As we continue to get better as a team, as we continue to get players that are interested in taking the next step, they’re willing to listen to the message about nutrition, which is why we brought Lindsay Langford in this year from St. Vincent. She has a lot of background with sports nutrition and she offers another level beyond my expertise. Nutrition isn’t my primary hat and this is what she does full time, so she’s a welcomed addition.” 「当我们成为一支更好的球队时，球员们也会对下个步骤更加感兴趣，他们会有意愿 去了解关於营养学的知识，这就是我们请来Lindsay Langford的原因。她研究运动营养学 已久，而她在这方面懂的比我更多。我不是专攻这方面的，而她一天到晚在研究这个。因 此她非常受欢迎。」 Langford also currently assists the Marian University Cycling program and Butler basketball and soccer teams, as well as the school’s distance runners. St. Vincent previously had a nutrition contract with the Portland Trail Blazers for three years, so she has experience working with NBA players. Langford目前同时也协助Marian大学的自行车队，以及Butler大学的篮球和足球队与 长跑选手。St. Vincent组织之前也和拓荒者队签下了三年的合约，因此她也有和NBA球员 合作的经历。 “I think one of the things that really adds value to Lindsay is the fact that she was a competing athlete in college herself,” said Ralph Reiff, the Executive Director of St. Vincent Sports Performance. “She was on a cycling team at the University of Alabama so she’s got the perspective of balancing life and busyness of sports. And she’s real. I’ve consulted with a lot of dietitians in my career and she’s by far the most complete and one that connects the best with the athletes.” 「我认为Lindsay大学时自己是个运动员这件事对她而言是很有价值的，」St. Vincent Sports Performance的执行董事Ralph Reiff表示。「她在Alabama大学时是自行 车队的一员，因此她对於如何维持运动生涯有一定的了解。她很有实力。在我的生涯中曾 和很多营养学者讨教过，而她是目前为止最完美，同时也是和运动员最能心连心的。」 Most of the Pacers, like Roy Hibbert and Orlando Johnson to name a few, have personal chefs to prepare meals and help them make better choices. George Hill, who said he’s one of the unhealthiest eaters on the team, came around and hired his own chef for the first time this year. 很多溜马球员像是Roy Hibbert与Orlando Johnson等人有私人的厨师来为他们准备餐 点并帮他们作出更好的饮食选择。而坦承自己拥有最不健康饮食的George Hill也在今年 首度请了自己的私人厨师。 “Most all of our guys do have a personal chef,” said Windle. “And we feed them here all the time so it’s not like they are left on their own for many of their meals. [Langford] also helps us with our catering menus on the plane and with postgame meals. 「我们大部分的球员都有私人厨师，」Windle表示。「而我们这里也会一直提供他们 餐点，所以他们应该不需要自己打理太多餐。Langford同时也帮助我们调整在飞机上以及 赛後的菜单。」 “Right now she’s coming in about once a week. As we progress in the season, it may be every couple of weeks. She’s just trying to meet with every player, get an idea for types of foods they like, the eating patterns and habits that they have right now. She’s trying to give them some low-level education regarding meal time management and why your body needs higher levels of food options than just pizza and chicken tenders.” 「现在她大概一个礼拜来一次，随着球季进行，之後大概几个礼拜会来一次。她会试 着谘询每个球员，了解他们喜欢吃些什麽，菜单以及饮食习惯。她试着给他们一些基本的 知识像是饮食时间的控制以及身体为何需要高品质饮食而不是披萨炸鸡等东西的原因。」 At the conclusion of each season, Windle has a thorough meeting with every player. He provides them with guides and materials to help them with their offseason regimens. The Pacers even fly him around the country in the summer to visit players and offer further instruction. Every player is also given a cookbook. 在每个季末，Windle会和所有球员来段深入的访谈。他会给他们关於休赛季期间摄取 食物的一些方针和资料。球团甚至会请他在暑假去拜访各地的球员来给他们更多的建议。 每个球员同时也会拿到一本食谱。 “I made a cookbook a few years ago with different types of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, what the healthiest options are, what the healthiest snack options are, actual recipes for meals,” Windle said. “It’s a pretty comprehensive program. We go over with each player how many calories they need for weight maintenance or if they’re trying to lose weight or if they’ re trying to gain weight. 「我在几年前自己制作的一份饮食手册，记载了不同种类的蛋白质、脂肪、碳水化合 物、最健康的营养选择、最健康的点心选择以及实际的食谱，」Windle表示。「这是个非 常庞大的计画。我们研究每个球员维持体态，或是想要增重或减重时所需要的热量。」 “We have it detailed down to almost the exact calorie based off a formula, which isn’t an exact science but it’s a close approximation. And when we’ re wearing our monitors during practice – it gives us heart-rate load, mechanical load – and that gives us an even better idea of how many calories they’re burning so our nutrition plan can also go hand-and-hand with the information that we’re getting from our (monitor) pucks that we wear.” 「我们藉由公式来尽量推算出实际所需的热量。这不能算是完全科学的东西，因为里 面很多是推估的东西。而当我们用仪器监控练习状况时，我们知道了心跳比率、人体负荷 量——这让我们对於他们所消耗的热量有更多的了解，使得我们的营养计画能够和从仪器 中得到的资讯完美配合。」 In order to be successful, Vogel believes it’s important to not only have a connection between the players, but the staff as well. 为了成功，Vogel相信不仅球员们间需要紧密连结，球团也不例外。 “We speak all the time about organizational-wide togetherness,” he said. “ When we talk about togetherness and teamwork, it’s not just the 15 guys in uniform. It’s the coaches working with the players, the players working with the trainers, the trainers working with the equipment manager, the basketball side working with our ticket sales and marketing departments. Everyone is tied together.” 「我们总是在谈关於整个大团队间的患难与共，」他表示。「当我们在谈团结与合作 时，这不仅仅是那15个球员的事情。这包含了教练与球员、球员与训练员、训练员与装备 管理员之间的配合，甚至是场务、门票销售与市场部门也包含在内。每个人都是结合在一 起的。」 Former associate head coach Brian Shaw left the team over the summer to take his first head coaching job with the Denver Nuggets. Right away, he recognized the culture needed to change, and Vogel said Shaw wanted it to emulate what he saw in his two years with Pacers Sports & Entertainment. 前任的首席助理教练Brian Shaw这个暑假离开了球队前往丹佛担任总教练。他也很快 就认为现有的文化需要改变。Vogel表示Shaw希望能够让金块模仿他在溜马这两年间看到 的球队状况。 “When he got the job with the Denver Nuggets, he went there and said ‘we need to model and emulate everything they do,’ from the marketing department to how the front office and the coaching staff works together, how the trainers and the coaching staff work together, the video setup that we have with the thoroughness and the technology that we used,” Vogel explained. “ He used us as the model of how he wants things to be done in Denver, which I think is high praise for all the people working here.” 「当他在金块那找到工作时，他到了那边然後表示『我们需要以溜马为范本并模仿他 们所做的一切，』从市场部门、球队高层以及教练团之间的默契，训练员与教练团之间的 配合，完整的影片设备以及我们所用的科技，」Vogel解释。「他以我们作为金块队的模 范，让我觉得这是对所有在这里工作的人表示的崇高敬意。」 “Nutrition is one of the growing areas in sports. First there were just trainers – and the Pacers have two highly respected ones in Josh Corbeil and Carl Eaton. Then, the team added strength coaches, a sport psychologist (Dr. Chris Carr), a massage therapist (Fadi Kazma), and now a nutritionist. 「营养学是体育界中崛起的一环。首先是训练员，我们有值得尊敬的Josh Corbeil和 Carl Eaton。然後球队请来了健身教练团以及一位运动心理学家（Chris Carr医生），一 位按摩师（Fadi Kazma），然後现在又一位营养学家。」 “It’s now easier to get the athletes to accept the support and to credit Shawn, he’s the CEO of human performance for the Indiana Pacers,” Reiff said. “He’s quarterback, he’s the conductor, and he’s got an immense amount of experience himself. But to his credit, he recognizes that Lindsay can help take it one step further.” 「要让运动员接受Shawn的帮助并信任他简单多了，因为他现在是溜马人因绩效部门 的首席执行长，」Reiff表示。「他担当着四分卫的角色，是个领导者，并有着丰富的经 验。不过在这方面，他认为Lindsay更能够帮助球队。」 Check out a video of Langford giving game day nutrition tips below: 最後就来看看Langford对於比赛日饮食的一些小叮咛吧。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h66IIrTATw ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --
