SUMMARY:EdUHK Elite Athletes in Motion: Badminton
DESCRIPTION:As an Elite Athlete-Friendly University\, EdUHK continues to champion the dual development of elite athletes in both academic and sports\, while also facilitating their career transformation beyond full-time athletic careers. \n\n\n\nHPE took part in an exchange trip to Nippon Sport Science University (NSSU) in Tokyo\, Japan from 21 to 24 June 2025. The delegation was led by Mr. CHAN Ching Yat\, Roy\, Subject Coordinator of the Bachelor of Education (Physical Education) [BEd(PE)] programme\, and comprised the Elite Athlete Development Team\, including Ms. LIU Siu Man\, Samantha\, and Ms. CHAN Tsz Tung\, Elsa. They were accompanied by Miss. YUEN Sin Ying\, EdUHK’s ambassador for the “Elite Athlete Friendly University”\, a graduate of Bachelor of Health Education (Honours) and Master of Social Sciences in Sports Coaching and Management. \n\n\n\nThe inclusion of an elite-athlete ambassador in the overseas exchange provided valuable opportunities for sharing\, friendly matches\, and intercultural engagement—broadening student-athletes’ horizons and enhancing their interpersonal and communication skills. \n\n\n\nAs part of the cultural and athletic exchange\, Sin Ying delivered a live demonstration of badminton serving techniques and took part in a friendly match with the badminton coach and students of NSSU. She also gave a presentation on her life as an elite athlete-student at EdUHK\, sharing her personal journey of balancing academic commitments with a professional sports career. Her sharing resonated with NSSU students and staff\, fostering greater understanding and appreciation for the experiences of elite athletes in Hong Kong. \n\n\n\n\nFriendly match with the badminton coach and students of NSSU\n\n\n\nBadminton coach and students of NSSU\n\n\n\nDemonstration of badminton serving techniques\n\n\n\nSharing session by YUEN Sin Ying\n\n\n\nSharing session by Mr. CHAN Ching Yat\, Roy\n\n\n\nSharing sessions with NSSU students and staff\n\n\n\n\nThe visit also featured an academic exchange with Dr. Teraoka\, who presented his research on coaching development and athlete education\, sparking productive discussions on the intersections between pedagogy and performance. \n\n\n\nFruitful dialogue with Dr. TERAOKA Eishin and Ms. YAZAKI Sharly Natsu\n\n\n\nThe team engaged in fruitful dialogue with the below staffs of NSSU: \n\n\n\n\nProf. YAMAGUCHI Kazuyuki\, Chairperson Professor\, Department of Sports Studies for International Community\, NSSU\n\n\n\nDr. TERAOKA Eishin\, Associate Professor\, Faculty of Sport Culture\n\n\n\nDr. LEUNG Ling Sze Nancy\, Associate Professor\, Faculty of Sport Culture\n\n\n\nMs. YAZAKI Sharly Natsu\, AD Assistant Professor\, member of the NSSU Coach Developer Academy (NCDA)\, Coach Developer of NSSU Centre for Coaching Excellence\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn addition\, the team also had the opportunity to observe training sessions in traditional Japanese martial arts such as Kendo and Judo\, as well as Gymnastics.

Engaging in various activities and discussions with both staff and students has provided me with invaluable insights\, particularly in recognizing the differences between Japan’s sports training system and Hong Kong’s. In Japan\, sports training is primarily school-based\, which contributes to the comprehensive training systems and facilities available at universities. This foundation likely plays a significant role in the higher sports performance and popularity seen in Japan. Additionally\, members of the national team also train within schools\, fostering a strong training atmosphere among sports teams. Moreover\, each university team is led by sports leaders who guide the training sessions. Even in the absence of a coach\, players demonstrate good cooperation\, ensuring that training remains high-quality and efficient. While the sports culture and environment in Japan and Hong Kong differ\, there is much we can learn from one another and leverage each other’s strengths.’’ Sin Ying shared her appreciation for the differences in sports culture and training systems between Hong Kong and Japan\, emphasizing the value of mutual learning and cooperation. The exchange not only showcased EdUHK’s continued dedication to dual-career support for elite athletes but also fostered deeper international ties in the field of sports education.
