SUMMARY:“Ignite the Fighting Spirit – Who Says Dreams Never Come True?”
DESCRIPTION:Former Hong Kong beach volleyball athlete Miss Chung Wai Wa has published her new book “Ignite the Fighting Spirit – Who Says Dreams Never Come True?” last month\, covering the stories of Hong Kong elite athletes’ perseverance and determination as well we their journeys in pursuing a dual career pathway in sports and studies. Two of the HPE students have been interviewed\, including current professional football player Mr Yuen Ho-chun and squad member of the Hong Kong national rugby sevens team Mr Eric Kwok Pak-nga. As the students of our undergraduate programmes\, not only did they share their valuable experiences of training and the bittersweet struggle of being a full-time athlete\, but they also highlight the importance of striking a balance between sports and studies\, from which everyone that wishes to make sports as a vocation can take reference. Please refer to the website below for more details:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to read the article of Yuen Ho-chun\n\n\n\nClick here to read the article of Eric Kwok Pak-nga\n\n\n\nSportsroad
