Transcript
[Music…]
FEMALE SOCCER PLAYER: Anybody can play soccer. You don’t have
to be tall. You don’t have to be big. You can be any size, shape, or form.
FEMALE SOCCER PLAYER: To play soccer is to be rebellious, in some
sense—to play the game that you love, to play a game that’s super tough.
FEMALE SOCCER PLAYER: You can get out there, you can be rough
and be healthy and fit and happy.
QUESTION BY FEMALE SOCCER PLAYER: How does smoking affect athletic
performance?
FEMALE SOCCER PLAYER: If you are a smoker, you’re probably not
going to reach the highest levels.
MALE SOCCER COACH: A soccer player should never smoke. Smoking
will slow your reaction time. If somebody has a slower reaction time, that’s
one of the strongest predispositions to injury.
MALE SOCCER PLAYER: I’ve never smoked before, but I think that
was because I was so involved in sports.
MALE SOCCER PLAYER: In soccer, it’s really not a good thing for
you to smoke, because you’re always running, you’re always moving, and smoking
really does take a toll on you. And with soccer, it really is 100%
fitness.
