Emma Raducanu is Just Like You! Cindy Adair, Cross Campus Assistant Principal, ECAs and Sports

T

he US Open is one of four major events in professional tennis which, together with the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon, form the Grand Slam. Last month an 18 year old named Emma Raducanu completed a dream run to lift the Cup at the US Open and scoop the USD2.5million prize money. The player stormed onto the world scene as a qualifier at Wimbledon, before retiring with breathing issues. She returned to Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows, New York more determined than ever and impressed us all with her aggressive ground strokes and dazzling smile.

Emma represented the UK, but did you know she is a dual citizen of both the UK and Canada? Her dad is from Romania and her mum is from China and both work in finance. Emma credits much of her success to their work ethic as immigrants and the value they placed on education.

Emma speaks Mandarin and Romanian, loves Taiwanese music, she also enjoys Romanian food cooked by her grandmother. In short, Emma is a third culture kid (TCK), like many of our Bangkok Patana students. TCK’s grow up in a country (and culture) that is neither their mother’s nor their father’s home country. A rich and interesting mix of influences, which have all shaped her into the person she is today. She is truly a global citizen and someone who has taken the opportunities she’s had offered to her along the way. It would be remiss of me to only celebrate Emma Raducanu in relation to the recent US Open – her opponent in the final, Leyla Fernandez was also truly phenomenal.

The fellow teen was born in Canada. Her father hails from Ecuador and her mother the Philippines. Yep, another TCK! Author Michele Phoenix said it best about TCK’s, “…belonging in multiple places increases their skill-set, it makes them bridge builders.”

In a time when nationalism is on the rise across the globe, Emma, Leyla and Naomi, along with others, are demonstrating that diversity is the future. There was a time when tennis was viewed as a “Country Club” sport for the elite. With little diversity seen on court at all, let alone at the majors. The phenomenal success of the William’s sisters started to break down barriers in this area making way for the new crop of Black, Latina, Asian, Indigenous and other athletes of colour to forge a place for themselves in the sport.

Another interesting fact about Emma is that she was encouraged from an early age to try a range of sports. She began playing tennis at age five but did not turn professional until she was 15 in 2018. Throughout her Primary and Key Stage 3 education she tried a range of activities, including: basketball; ballet, skiing, horse-riding, golf and motocross. Having avoided early specialisation and “hot-housing” will hopefully give Emma a more balanced perspective and potentially greater career longevity.

I am really looking forward to be able to teach young kids about the sport that I am really passionate about and to help them develop and improve in that particular sport through fun and helpful games and drills.

An effective Student Coach is a role model to younger players and a huge support to a busy coach.

Student Coaches help to organise the training space, motivate players, provide technical feedback or positive encouragement and are available to demonstrate skills. It’s a great way for student-athletes to give back to the sports they’ve enjoyed since Primary school. The Student Coaching programme also provides valuable service hours to those students pursuing their International Award or the CAS component of the IB. Let’s hear from some of the students…

“I have really enjoyed the student coaching course so far as I love seeing students happy and excited about sports; I hope to inspire them to continue playing sports and improving their skills as sports provide a large amount of benefits. Personally, I believe that being involved with coaching not only will help the students but also the coaches and they learn a variety of new life skills.” -Mya “I have really enjoyed the past four weeks of the student coaching course, learning how to support and encourage younger students.

Tutorials from the Tennis Academy Dan Ahl, Head Tennis Coach

W

ith online learning being extended, the Tennis Academy has taken to producing tennis tutorials with the first five in the series looking at the forehand, backhand, serve, volley and smash. The aim of the tutorials has been to look at understanding good technique and how it is so important to have correct grips, compact swings, racket acceleration and precise footwork. One of the key factors has also been to simplify the basics and

understanding your own technique as much as possible.

There are also ways to practise each shot within the videos especially the serve, volley and smash.

Initial feedback has been positive and in the next few weeks we will be looking at specific shots like the return of serve and also how tactical situations can be improved

Five Ways To Implement Reading into your Daily Life Preeyanan (Pam) Jirarungroj, 12D, Right To Read HOW TO TRAVEL THROUGH TIME: READ here is a never ending list of reasons why you should read, whether it’s for reducing stress, improving your memory and empathy or being able to learn new things.

We all know it’s important and beneficial to do so, but how can we put habits in motion to actually gain those rewards?

The third way to implement reading into your daily life is to set goals for yourself. For example, read two books in one month or even 20 books in one year! Whatever seems attainable but also pushes you to work hard at the same time. The statistics for goal setting by a Harvard business study found that there is a direct correlation between goal setting and success. It said that 14 percent of the people who have goals are 10 times more successful than The first way to implement reading into your daily life those who do not have goals. This will set you on the right is to set a time in which you would like to read at. Of- track to continuously reading and feel accomplished with tentimes, it is easier to stick to a schedule because you a sense of personal satisfaction when you have achieved have given to yourself the opportunity to do things with your goal. everything else cleared away.

The fact that you read 50 more pages than you believe you just don’t have the ability to make time the day before can inspire you to keep going and read as for reading.

It may seem like an obvious point but sometimes you may edge or escape into a new reality. innocently want to try to put yourself out of your comfort zone which most of the time results in feeling unmotivated to continue reading and stop altogether. Reading should be a hobby you enjoy, so choosing a genre you love will give you that momentum to keep going and pick up that next book. It is great to read a wide range of genres because you may learn to love a new one or gain valuable information and life lessons just from broadening your scope entirely by yourself. Althoughyou shouldn’t catch yourself feeling forced into reading an unenjoyable book as it associates a negative emotion when trying to start reading again.

How has COVID Affected our Oceans?

ver the past couple of years our oceans have undergone drastic changes in terms of their environmental situation.

The reason for these changes is none other than COVID-19, the global pandemic that has been running rampant since the end of 2019.

Advances in Gymnastics Rebecca Maw-Dzatkowski, Head Gymnastics Coach THE INTRODUCTION OF AI Gymnastics is a spectacular sport - a sport whereby athletes strive for absolutely aesthetic perfection. Yet, the ironic aspect of gymnastics is that judging has always been imperfect. Judging is subjective and can depend on a variety of factors such as an individual’s stylistic preferences, the angle that each apparatus is viewed from, the accuracy of what each judge sees, individual bias - the list goes on. Additionally, with the technological advances in countless other sports, the demand to integrate technology to support and improve judging has gained increased momentum over the years.

Currently, I am working on my final (I)GCSE pieces as part of the 'contrasts' project. Starting this project, the first idea I had was to look at the contrast between old and new. I also knew I wanted to challenge myself and work on something I found difficult, so I chose to look at architecture. This photo collage is made up of photos I took of Chinatown, Bangkok. I overlapped and faded the pictures to create a panorama look.

I love performing. I feel this adrenaline and this bubbly feeling in my stomach. At first, I feel nervous, and I feel like I am about to cry and then suddenly after the first verse I suddenly let go and feel free. As a participant of Ms MacRitchie's music class, we learn many different techniques and aspects of Musical Theory and Vocal Practice. It really helps to focus and engage with the lessons and learn techniques, tips, and methods to help my voice become clearer or powerful. Watching ‘GLEE’ during the summer has really opened my eyes.

Studies show that when one listens to music, the brain releases dopamine, which makes us happy. Music is so powerful and it portrays a variety of emotions. It brings good vibes to those who are listening. It raises your mood, brings excitement, or calms you down. It allows one to feel all the emotions that we experience in our lives.
