Henry, our President, has been providing on-field support for athletes for different sports. Recently, he participated in the Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championships and the Asian Fencing Championships, where the latter was organized in Hong Kong for the first time. It gave athletes a rare opportunity to experience and learn to react to the home-court influence effectively. Henry is currently assisting this team for the World Fencing Championships held in mid-July in Germany.
Statistics show that the majority of local athletes are studying part- or full-time, and their common concerns include lack of time management and study-life balance. A cross-cultural longitudinal study (Finland, China, and Hong Kong) on dual career of student-athletes is currently being conducted where a group of Form 4 local student-athletes and their parents will take part for the next three years. Practical insight for better Sport Psychology services for student-athletes is to be explored.
