Every Single Day - Carlos Correa

People ask me if I put pressure on myself. Honestly, I don't. To me, pressure
creates distractions and there is no time for distractions in baseball. To play
this game you need to be as focused as possible. When you work hard every
single day and you prepare yourself the right way, there should be no
doubt in your mind you are going to perform out there.
人们常问我会不会给自己压力......老实说，我不这么做。对我而言，压力会使人分心，而且打棒球非常需要专注。你需要聚精会神才能打出好球。你如果每天好好的努力并为自己做出最适当的备战训练，那你在球场上肯定会表现得不错。
That's what I'm focused on, during the season and during the offseason.
My goal is just to get better every single day so I can make my team better
— improve my skills so I can help our team compete for a ring.
无论是球季中或休赛期间，我都着重在这上面。我的目标就是每天都有进步，所以我才能为球队贡献......增进自己的球技以帮助球队问鼎冠军。
If the season started today, I'd be ready.I'm good to go.
我已经准备就绪了......如果今天球季开打，我马上就能进入状况。
Several times a week I start with a morning workout on the beach
in Santa Isabel where I grew up. I've been coming here since I was
five years old.
我经常在早上就到圣伊莎贝尔海滩作训练。从五岁开始，我就常来这边晃晃。
On the beach I concentrate on speed, agility, reaction time and plyometrics.
I come here to strengthen my legs. This is my favorite workout.
在海滩上，我会针对速度、灵活度、反应时间以及弹跳力所训练。在这，我练我的腿部，而这是我最喜欢的训练。
Whenever I felt like I needed to gain more speed I would come to this beach
to train. It made my legs stronger. It made me faster. It's been working
for me so far, so I do it every year.
只要我觉得我需要增强我的速度，我就会来到这海滩上训练。它让我的腿部变得更强壮，也让我变得更灵敏。多年来，这训练对我非常有效，所以我一直坚持。
I got my work ethic from my dad. He worked construction when I was growing up.
我的工作态度是学习在我长大过程中，担任建筑工的家父。
My dad inspired me to work out really hard every single day. The focus I
have, I work towards a goal. I have a goal every year — I have big goals
for this year and I'm working to try to accomplish them. I always have
goals that make me jump out of bed every morning. That's how I focus and
look forward to something.
我父亲启发了我，让我每天都很认真地训练自己。我都着重在达到自每年所设下己的目标。今年我设下了几个远大的目标，而我正在为这些目标而奋斗。拥有这些目标，让我每天大清早就下床后作训练。我的企盼及我的专注，由此而生。
Kayaking is a great workout because it's the best of all worlds. It's fun,
it's exercise and it's spending time with the family. I always love to
mix up my activities to make hard work fun.
划独木舟是个很棒的运动因为它让我受益良多。它除了好玩跟精实自己以外，最重要的是，它让我可以让我陪陪家人。我总是喜欢把东西混再一起，这样可以苦中作乐。
Most days I wake up at 9 a.m. and head straight to the gym. I'll work
out for two full hours before going home for a meal and to rest.
通常我都九点起床，然后跑到健身房。经过两个小时后，我再回去吃饭休息。
I'm the weight I want to be. I'm 221 right now, which is a good weight
for a shortstop of my size (6'4").
我觉得我现在很好。我现在是100公斤左右，而这体重对像我这样大(193公分)的游击手来讲非常适当。
I don't want to get too big. I want to be able to play shortstop for
most of my career, so I need to stay lean, quick, fast, agile, strong
and explosive. I'm building towards all of that with my work in the
weight room.
我不想变得太大只。我想要在我生涯大部分时间担任游击手，所以我必须保持我的身材、速度、灵敏度、爆发力等等......而这些我都在重训时努力维持或增强。
This season my mentality is different because I know I have a spot on the
big league roster. Last year I was coming off an injury, so I knew I'd be
starting in the minors. I was just trying to make it to the big leagues.
This season is different: I'm working knowing I'll be the starting
shortstop for the Houston Astros.
今年我的心态比较不一样，因为我知道我有位子了。去年刚伤愈复出，所以我知道我会从小联盟开季。我当时只是想要升上去。今年就不一样了......今年我就是要稳定先发，担任太空人队的当家游击手。
Last season was amazing. I always pictured myself getting to the big leagues,
but I didn't visualize it happening so quickly. Now it's about building
on last year and staying focused on what's ahead.
去年真的是个神奇的一季。我以前总是幻想着自己上大联盟的样子，但未料到会这么快就上去。现在就是要以去年为基准，持续的进步，专注在未来的表现。
There are so many things in the game that you can't control. You can be
in great shape. You can be hitting the ball hard every time, but hitting
it right at people. You can't control that.
在棒球场上，有许多东西是无法控制的。你可能状况很棒、击球都铿锵有力，但是结果是无法控制的。
Most nights I head to a nearby stadium to practice hitting and fielding.
My brother comes and works out with me. My whole family is there,
and fans come to encourage us.
我常在晚上，到附近的球场练打击跟守备。我兄弟会来并跟我一起训练。我的整个家庭和粉丝都会到场替我们打气。
Heading into the off-season I wanted to improve on every single aspect of
my game: get faster, get stronger, improve on defense, improve on offense,
improve on everything. But most importantly my goal now is to have a
solid season and to help my team make the playoffs again — and eventually,
to win it all.
球季结束后，我就想要让我的球技变得更全面，更强。但是，最重要的，我的目标是要在下一季有好的表现并帮助太空人队重返季后赛，最后拿下世界大赛冠军。
I love playing this game, so for me to be able to be a role model playing
this beautiful game and be able to have kids at my practices watching me
do what I do every day to get better … That is what I want to be able
to do for the rest of my career, so they can follow in my footsteps and
hopefully we can have more Carlos Correas out there in the big leagues.
我热爱棒球，所以我希望我能在我的球员生涯中，成为孩子们的模范，让这些围观我练习的孩子们，看到我的付出，我的坚持。希望这些孩子们能够为自己的梦想而努力。也希望有朝一日，能看到更多的Carlos Correa，在大联盟的球场上，展现球技，大放异彩。
