1
Team work
团队合作
‘There’s no I in team’. It’s the most used term in the sporting skills index, and yet the reasons for this are well earned.
A boat will only race at its fastest when all rowers move in one rhythm, whilst a goal scored in football is thanks to the varying skillset of the team.
团队中里没有“我”的说法。这是运动技能指数中使用最多的术语，然而其原因是显而易见的。只有当所有的划手以一种节奏运动时，一艘船才能以最快的速度比赛，而足球比赛中的进球则是由于团队的不同技能组合。
Learning to work with others and appreciating how different talents can contribute to one goal is essential in every workplace and industry.
在每个工作场所和行业中，学会与他人合作并欣赏不同的才能如何为一个目标做出贡献是至关重要的。
2
Leadership
领导力
From captain of your team to a captain of industry, developing leadership skills in sport is crucial to any future employment, whether you’re in charge or not.
从你所在团队的队长到行业的领袖，发展体育运动中的领导技能对未来的就业至关重要，无论你是否掌权。
Making tough decisions about the team list or the workforce; developing the ability to inspire, motivate and lead your colleagues; these are skills that are always in demand.
对团队名单或员工做出艰难的决定；培养鼓舞、激励和领导同事的能力；这些都是始终需要的技能。

Time management
时间管理
Any university athlete who still wanted to achieve their desired academic grade will know the importance of time management.
任何仍想取得理想成绩的大学运动员都会知道时间管理的重要性。
Juggling daily training sessions with the demands of lectures, seminars and coursework (as well as maintaining a social life!) act as essential practice for maintaining a work- life balance in the ‘real world’.
在日常训练、上课、研讨会和课程作业中(以及维持社交生活！)兼顾平衡，作为在“现实世界”中保持工作与生活平衡的基本实践。
4 Competition & sportsmanship竞争和体育精神Wanting to win goes hand in hand with accepting defeat and there is no better teacher. A drive for success is sought by every employer, and found in all athletes. However, learning to accept loss is a much tougher lesson, but can be much more valuable.想要赢就要接受失败，没有比这更好的老师了。每个雇主都追求成功的动力，这能在所有运动员身上找到。然而，学会接受失败是一门更难的课程，但却更有价值。
Whether that teaches you to brush off rejection or learn from your mistakes is your call, but sooner or later most of us will face that in the workplace.这是教会你拒绝错误还是从错误中吸取教训是你自己的事情，但迟早我们大多数人都会在工作中遇到这种情况。
5Handling pressure处理压力It’s all about adrenalin! From preparing for the big game to standing on the start line of the final race, coping with high-pressure situations is a natural occurrence in sport.都是肾上腺素的问题！从准备大赛到站在决赛的起跑线上，应对高压力的情况是体育运动中很自然的事情。
Whilst not all careers are high stress, companies always value an individual capable of coping when times get tough; whether that be staying calm in an interview or meeting a short deadline.虽然不是所有的职业都是高压力的，但公司总是看重一个人在困难时期能够应对的能力；无论是在面试中保持冷静还是在短时间内完成任务。
6
Management & responsibility管理和责任Sports clubs don’t run themselves.Securing new equipment, raising funds and maintaining club numbers are just some of the tasks required of committee members; providing a brilliant environment to develop and practise managerial skills and learn how to get things done before leaving university. 体育俱乐部不会自动运营。获得新设备、筹集资金和维持俱乐部会员数量就是委员会成员需要完成的部分任务；提供一个极好的环境来发展和实践管理技能，并学习如何在离开大学之前把事情做好。
7
Commitment
投入
Last but not least, no medal is won without dedication, early starts and personal sacrifice. It’s that grit, determination and focus given by all university athletes to their sport that is valued so highly by employers.
最后但同样重要的是，没有全身心的投入、早早行动和个人牺牲，就不会赢得奖牌。正是所有大学运动员对他们的运动所表现出的勇气、决心和专注，受到了雇主的高度重视。
So what are you waiting for! The research from BUCS also found that 94% of employers agreed to a clear link between employability and university sport participation.
所以你还在等什么！来自BUCS的研究还发现，94%的雇主同意就业能力和大学体育参与之间的明确联系。
Don’t be afraid to emphasise your sporting triumphs, and enjoy the benefits.University is one of the few places where such a large and diverse range of opportunities is available. So whilst you may not have been the sportiest at school, why not give something new a try?
不要害怕强调你的体育成就，并享受其中的好处。大学是为数不多的能提供如此多种多样机会的地方之一。所以，虽然你可能不是学校里最活跃的人，为什么不尝试一些新的东西呢？
