About

We hope that everyone could use our app, especially teenagers from 8 to 15 years old since they are easy to be overweight. The app was not only made by HKIED students but also Hong Kong athletes. We strongly hope that users could know more about sports like windsurfing, rowing, and triathlon and also try to take part in so as to build up a healthy body.

Henry, Marcy and ki are not only my teachers but also my invaluable friends. Without your helps, I definitely could not release this useful app to promote health to public. Let me say "Thank you very much!"

Windsurfing

Successful athlete: Fai

鄭國輝說儘管得過三次世界賽滑浪風帆冠軍:「亞運冠軍,還是第一次。我當了全職運動員十四年,實力是有的,選拔時,我的隊友比我更強。雖然我的排名很高,但仍是未能代表香港出賽。仁川一役,是我的最後機會了。」

都說「十年辛苦不尋常」,何況是十四年。國輝現在一身兼四職:「Part-time教練(培訓青少年滑浪風帆隊)、Part-time運動員、Part-time學生(選修與運動有關課程),又在奧委會幫手,推動滑浪風帆這項運動。」

鄭國輝談及童年往事:「年少時,只能用頑劣來形容自己。八歲起不愛上學,整天沉迷遊戲機中心。其後要住宿舍,接受託管,仍是無心向學。十三歲那年,第一次接觸滑浪風帆。家姐男友是滑浪風帆好手,我便去試試。以我的體能,覺得沒甚麼難度。上第一堂課,對教練的講解,沒留心聽。到下海上風帆板了,我第一個舉手,結果是上了滑浪帆板,因不懂平衡,跌下來。爬上去,又滑下來,又上又落十幾次,沒一次成功。第二日考試,六位學員應考,我是唯一一個不及格。」

鄭國輝說自己有「不肯認輸」的性格,他事後在想:「到底出了甚麼問題,是沒有聽教練的話,自以為是,以為體能好,站在帆板上該沒甚麼困難。這一次的挫折,讓我反思,想在帆板上有作為,要掌握基本技巧,得接受有系統訓練的。經過一個月學習,我終於領略在滑浪風帆上的樂趣了。」

十七歲成為全職運動員後,往後日子,鄭國輝對滑浪風帆不離不棄:「黃德森教練對我有要求,李麗珊的奮鬥啟發了我,我找到自己的人生目標,對自己有所要求。二○○二年選拔賽,我輸了給隊友,二○○六年又輸了。我沒有放棄,到二○一四年,我終於可代表香港出賽,拿下亞運滑浪風帆金牌。等了十四年,才心想事成。屢敗屢戰,不輕言放棄,最後成功,那滿足感、成功感,很實在的。教練的悉心教導,我是感激的。」

三十一歲的鄭國輝說仁川為他在滑浪風帆競賽生涯,畫上完美句號:「如今我當上青少年教練,我學曉處理他們的問題,他們也有頑皮的,我曾經比他們更頑皮,更不聽教導。當教練,要面對的挑戰,比當運動員的更多。我卻有信心,做個好教練。」
