It was the first time that I didn't feel limited in my life and that I felt free.

這是我第一次不覺得自己的生活受到限制，感到自由。

Hi, I'm scout bassett sprinter and long jumper and here's everything that I do in a day in preparation for the Paralympics.

嗨，我是斯庫特-巴塞特短跑和跳遠運動員，以下是我為準備殘奧會而在一天內所做的一切。

Good morning self.

早晨的自己。

It's 6:30 a.m. And we're ready to start the day I wake up and I removed the charger off of my knee to begin putting on my prosthetic.

現在是早上6點30分，我們準備開始新的一天，我醒來後把充電器從我的膝蓋上取下來，開始裝上我的假肢。

The first thing that I do is make myself a cup of coffee and then after that, I usually make myself a little light breakfast, maybe apples with peanut butter or banana after breakfast.

我做的第一件事是給自己泡一杯咖啡，然後在那之後，我通常給自己做一點簡單的早餐，也許是蘋果加花生醬或早餐後的香蕉。

I like to get some work done.

我喜歡完成一些工作。

So that might be answering some emails or catching up on some projects or things that I'm working on on race days.

是以，這可能是回答一些電子郵件或趕上一些項目或我在比賽日工作的事情。

I always make sure I have my competition leg and I have my race kit already packed and I also like to include water and make sure that we always have sense.

我總是確保我有我的比賽腿，我有我的比賽裝備，我也喜歡包括水，並確保我們總是有意義。

After doing some work, I look forward to getting to the track and starting my real job, so to speak actually in my mid twenties is when I received my very first microprocessor knee, I could do things that I wasn't able to do in terms of the lifting and the squatting going up and downstairs and steep hills and it's completely waterproof.

在做了一些工作之後，我期待著到跑道上開始我真正的工作，可以說實際上在我20多歲的時候就是我收到我的第一個微處理器膝蓋的時候，我可以做一些我沒有能力做的事情，在舉重和下蹲上樓和陡峭的山路方面，它是完全防水的。

It was the first time I ever walked in the ocean or anybody of water with two legs.

這是我第一次用兩條腿在海里或任何人的水中行走。

The knee has computers in it.

膝蓋裡有計算機。

It has gyroscopes, it has a loading sensor and it's going to pick up your every movement what kind of inclined surface you're on and of course there's a battery in the knee so it's heavier.

它有陀螺儀，它有一個負載傳感器，它將收集你的每一個動作，你在什麼樣的傾斜表面上，當然，膝蓋裡有一個電池，所以它比較重。

And if you want to see if the knees fully charged, there's bars just like on your phone, the app, it tells you how many steps you've taken on the knee.

如果你想看看膝蓋是否充滿了電，就像你的手機一樣，有條形的應用程序，它告訴你你在膝蓋上走了多少步。

I've only had the knee Think about two years and I've taken over 12 million steps already.

我的膝關節只用了大約兩年時間，但我已經走了1200多萬步。

And so it's pretty amazing.

是以，這是很驚人的。

When I arrived at the training center, I usually start with a warm up.

當我到達訓練中心時，我通常先做熱身運動。

The warm up can be 30-40 minutes and it involves usually a couple of warm up laps, jog, slow jogs and then we move into what we call a dynamic warm up, which can be high knees, abc, skips, lunges, it could be accelerations, build up strides, all active warm ups where you're working and warming up all the muscles needed.

熱身可以是30-40分鐘，通常包括幾圈熱身，慢跑，然後我們進入所謂的動態熱身，可以是高膝，abc，跳過，肺活量，可以是加速，建立步幅，所有的主動熱身，你在那裡工作和熱身所有需要的肌肉。

We don't normally stretch until after we've done the dynamic warm up and then we move into the start of the actual work out an example of a workout that we did this week to 303 203 1 hundreds and all of the rest in between each of those intervals is just a walk back recovery sprint at 300 then you Walk 300, so whatever distance you run is what you're walk back recovery is.

我們通常在做完動態熱身後才會進行拉伸，然後進入實際鍛鍊的開始階段。我們本週做了一個鍛鍊的例子，303 203 1 hundreds，每個間隔之間的所有休息都是以300的速度走回恢復衝刺，然後你走300，所以你跑的距離就是你的走回恢復。

So it's under an hour for lunch.

是以，午餐時間不到一個小時。

I gravitate more towards plant based foods and meals just because there's not a lot of breaks in between workouts.

我更傾向於植物性食物和膳食，只是因為鍛鍊之間沒有很多休息時間。

So it's hard to eat things that take a long time to digest.

所以很難吃到需要很長時間才能消化的東西。

So usually I bring um nuts to the track.

是以，我通常會帶嗯堅果到賽道上。

I like seaweed chips even like things that are a little bit saltier just because you tend to sweat out a lot of the sodium and then we moved to typically the weight room.

我喜歡海藻片，甚至喜歡有點鹹的東西，只是因為你往往會出很多汗，然後我們轉移到典型的舉重室。

The first half of the strength workout is the power lifts, the olympic lifts that you think of bench press, dead lifts, squats and then the back half of the strength is core ply.

力量訓練的前半部分是力量舉，也就是你認為的臥推、死舉、深蹲等奧林匹克舉動，然後力量的後半部分是核心層。

Ohs Izzo's stability drills and work maybe some arm drills working on speech of pumping your arms.

哦，Izzo的穩定性練習和工作，也許是一些手臂的練習，致力於抽動手臂的演講。

That's usually the end of the strength workout.

這通常是力量鍛鍊的結束。

I want parents that have Children when they see somebody with a disability to not shushed their child, not pull their child away because that really indicates to the child that there's something to be afraid of.

我希望有孩子的父母在看到殘障人士時，不要對孩子噓寒問暖，不要把孩子拉走，因為這確實向孩子表明有什麼值得害怕的。

I think more times than not the person is going to want to share to have an educational moment because that really helps the child to realize like after it was, oh, it wasn't so bad.

我認為更多的時候，這個人要分享的是一個有教育意義的時刻，因為這真的有助於孩子認識到，就像在這之後，哦，這並不是那麼糟糕。

They're just like me, you know, and it really helps to normalize it three o'clock is when I finished training and I start my cool down, which is jog slow, jog, very, very slow jog and when I had my first prosthetic here in the States, I was eight years old I had just your basic mechanical like I wanted it to be skin tone.

他們就像我一樣，你知道，這真的有助於正常化，三點鐘是我完成訓練的時候，我開始我的冷卻，這是慢跑，慢跑，非常非常慢的慢跑，當我在美國這裡有我的第一個假肢時，我是八歲，我只有你的基本機械，比如我希望它是膚色的。

So I would have this like cosmetic cover over it because I wanted to be able to go to school and look like I had to anatomical legs.

所以我會在上面蓋上這種化妝品，因為我希望能夠去學校，看起來就像我有一雙解剖學上的腿。

I don't know who I thought I was fooling but I think it was just something that made me feel like a little bit More secure and not wanting to stand out.

我不知道我以為我在愚弄誰，但我認為這只是讓我覺得有一點安全感的東西，不想出風頭。

And then around 14 actually when I started running is when I realized I needed to get rid of that because a running prosthetic, there's nothing anatomical about it.

然後在14歲左右，當我開始跑步時，我意識到我需要擺脫它，因為跑步的假肢，沒有任何解剖學意義。

That was a big moment for me in my life when I had to realize like I just wasn't gonna be able to hide.

那是我人生中的一個重要時刻，我不得不意識到，我就是不能躲起來。

It I tried out for the 2012 Paralympic Games, went to those trials and came in last place.

我參加了2012年殘奧會的選拔賽，參加了那些選拔賽，結果排在最後。

Of course I thought about quitting.

我當然想過辭職。

But then I just worked my butt off that following year and came to the 2013 U.

但後來我就在第二年拼命工作，來到了2013年的大學。

S.

S.

National championships and beat all the girls that previously the year before had beaten me at the trials so often we think of success is coming overnight and for me it wasn't until 2000 and 16.

全國錦標賽，並擊敗了所有之前一年在選拔賽上擊敗我的女孩，所以我們經常認為成功是在一夜之間到來的，而對我來說，直到2000年和16年才有。

So six years from when I started doing track till I made my first paralympic team typically from 3 to 4 I go and see the physio or the athletic trainer for treatment.

是以，從我開始做田徑到我進入第一個殘奧隊的六年時間裡，通常在3到4月份我去看理療師或運動訓練師進行治療。

So that can be anything from getting a Q.

是以，這可能是任何事情，從得到一個Q。

Or manual treatment such as cupping or laser therapy, an ice or hot bath, a combination of the two.

或手工治療，如拔罐或激光治療，冰浴或熱浴，兩者結合。

After physio, I come home and make a smoothie or shake.

做完理療後，我回到家，做一杯冰沙或奶昔。

I love using sliced bananas, just a dollop of peanut butter, a plant based protein powder and water or a little bit of almond milk.

我喜歡用切片的香蕉，只需一勺花生醬，一種植物性蛋白粉和水或一點點杏仁奶。

That's really my go to.

這確實是我的首選。

And then I usually do stretching or yoga usually around five o'clock.

然後我通常做伸展運動或瑜伽，通常在五點鐘左右。

Then after stretching I start to make dinner and have dinner usually by six o'clock.

然後在做完伸展運動後，我開始做晚飯，通常在六點前吃晚飯。

I love making sauteed spinach.

我喜歡做炒菠菜。

So just using a little avocado oil, some garlic and little salt and pepper and sauteing that.

所以只是用一點牛油果油，一些大蒜和一點鹽和胡椒粉，然後炒一下。

But usually some sort of sauteed or steamed veggies, a grain of some sort and then some sort of protein that's plant based or a fish and and maybe once a week like a chicken.

但通常是某種炒或蒸的蔬菜，某種穀物，然後是某種植物性蛋白質或魚，也許每週一次，如雞。

66 30.

66 30.

I'm usually winding down and watching sports.

我通常在收工後看體育比賽。

Oftentimes eating dinner as I watch sports in the background baseball or an NBA game or football.

很多時候，我一邊吃晚飯，一邊在後臺看體育比賽，棒球或NBA比賽或足球。

Then after I watch a little bit of tv I start preparing for the next day, setting my clothes aside, packing my snacks and fuel for practice the next day before I get into bed I clean my liner with water, alcohol.

然後在我看了一會兒電視後，我開始為第二天做準備，把衣服放在一邊，為第二天的練習準備好零食和燃料，在我上床之前，我用水、酒精清洗我的襯墊。

So I also will wash and clean my actual residual limb.

所以我也會清洗和清潔我的實際殘肢。

And that's really important because it's easy, especially if you're an athlete and you're sweating to get bacteria on the skin or in the liner.

這一點真的很重要，因為很容易，特別是如果你是一個運動員，你在出汗的時候，皮膚上或襯墊中就會有細菌。

So it's really critical that you clean both of these every night.

是以，每天晚上清潔這兩個地方真的很關鍵。

You never want to have to go in for a revision or to get a further amputation.

你永遠不希望不得不去修改，或者再去截肢。

So it's really critical that you take care of your residual.

是以，你照顧好你的剩餘部分真的很關鍵。

I might read for a little bit or start doing some meditation about half an hour typically.

我可能會讀一會兒書，或者開始做一些冥想，一般是半小時左右。

And then I'm usually asleep by 9 30.

然後我通常在9點半之前就睡著了。

I like to get between 9 to 10 hours of sleep is when I feel fully charged and then I wake up the next day and do it all over again.

我喜歡睡9到10個小時，這是我感覺完全充電的時候，然後我第二天醒來，再重新做一遍。

Okay, that's everything for today.

好了，今天就說到這裡吧。

It's 9:30 and I'm going to catch some sleep night and that's it.

現在是9:30，我要加快腳步睡覺了，就這樣吧。

That's everything that I do in a day in preparation for the paralympics.

這就是我為準備殘奧會而在一天內所做的一切。

Mhm.

嗯。
