Behind every successful team there's usually a talented, hard-working coach.
Following their double triumph at the All Hong Kong Schools Jing Ying Handball Tournament, members of both Shek Lei Catholic Secondary School boys' and girls' teams agreed the glory should belong to their coach, Wong To.
'Without coach Wong, I wouldn't be the person I am,' says the tournament's Most Valuable Player, Cheng Chun-wing, 19.
On court, Chun-wing is an experienced and steady player. His power and speed make him a difficult opponent. Off court, he is a tough sportsman who trains hard.
Being a responsible team member, Chun-wing also leads younger players during practice. But it was a totally different story when he first took up handball six years ago.
'I was a bad player at that time. I didn't concentrate during training and didn't know how to respect the sport or others,' he said. 'But coach Wong didn't give up on me. He guided and taught me patiently, not only handball skills, but inter-personal skills as well.'
Handball is clearly more than just a sport for many of the members of the Shek Lei teams.
