Impact Stories

The IHKSports Scholarship allowed our children to stay dedicated to sports, tailoring learning to children’s interests. It alleviates parents’ financial burdens while providing suitable training, fostering children’s interests and a sense of achievement through sports.

This year marks the fourth year that Liu Shu Yi has participated in WELL DUNK!.

He describes WELL DUNK! as a nurturing presence that has accompanied him throughout his growth. Initially, Shu Yi knew nothing about basketball and was unfamiliar with court tactics; he could only sit on the bench for every game. However, over time, he began to get opportunities to play in his second year, and now he has become a starter for the team. He candidly states that being a starter has provided him with opportunities to learn and compete, helping him better understand his strengths and weaknesses.

Although the WELL DUNK! programme is not primarily aimed at nurturing elite athletes, it has seen several talented students who have gone on to compete in Hong Kong’s top-tier basketball league.

Tsang Ho Yin, a graduate from the 2021-22 “On Ting Bulls” team, continues to excel in the realm of basketball and has become a player for the Pegasus Kin Lung team in the Hong Kong Basketball League. He recently played as an alumni representative in the Celebrity Exhibition Match for the WELL DUNK! Grand Finals in 2025.

Chun Hei used to be impatient, lacked perseverance, and struggled with maintaining concentration. However, I have observed significant improvements since he started attending this sports training programme.

Over time, he has become more willing to explore and challenge himself, and he has come to realise that with perseverance, he can achieve his goals. Chun Hei now demonstrates greater sportsmanship and dedication. He is especially eager to attend training sessions and consistently participates with enthusiasm.

Lee Chun Yuk has consistently excelled and left an incredible mark on the court throughout the 2nd to 4th seasons. He was a member of the Grand Finals’ team and won the championship twice. In particular, he served as the team captain of “Wah Fu Splash Brothers” in 2022-23 and his leadership was instrumental in guiding the team to victory.

Embodying the values of teamwork and dedication, his commitment to excellence extended beyond his playing days as he returned to the same team as an assistant coach in the recent 6th season. He imparted his wealth of experience to the next generation and reclaimed the championship’s title together.

I’m making great use of the IHKSports Scholarship for Continuing Training to participate in badminton training. Thanks to this scholarship, I’ve not only improved my skills significantly but also received praise from coaches for my talent. This year, I’ve successfully joined my school badminton team, and in April next year, I will represent the school in competitions. I plan to practise diligently to achieve the best results. I will maintain my passion for badminton and keep training consistently.

Mok Wai Him was the “Most Valuable Player” of the 3rd season in 2021-22. His exceptional performance and game-changing shots were pivotal in leading the “Lai Tak Sage” team to a remarkable comeback victory.

As a student currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Health Education at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, he continued to showcase his passion in sports and demonstrated his commitment to personal growth and community engagement by completing a summer internship at IHKSports. He dedicated more than 180 hours in areas of event management and administrative work for WELL DUNK! and other sports programmes.

Hui Yat Long was a graduate in 2021 from “HOCKEY Inspires!” we organised in partnership with Jockey Club Tseung Kwan O Children & Youth Integrated Services Centre. His unwavering passion for the sport has driven him to continue pursuing regular training.

With his dedication and perseverance, he was chosen recently to represent the Hong Kong National Hockey Team at the Men’s U18 Asia Cup 2025 in Dazhou, China.

The first time I ran this route compared to the third time—on Challenge Day—I was 45 minutes faster! I’ve completely fallen in love with running, especially trail running, because I can feel my inner strength growing.

To stay fit, I used to run on the jogging track, but I’d get tired so easily. However, after training with Sports LinkVenture, I barely feel fatigued anymore. Now, running feels like a piece of cake!
