After participating in the Xiangbin charity dinner in June, I am deeply moved to be able to accompany the children to play basketball again as a 'one-day coach.' I hope our listening and companionship are the strongest assists for children to change their future.

Leopards' star player Kao Chin-wei, nicknamed "Little Kao," and "Golden Shooter" Wang Che-yu acted as guest coaches. They led the children through various basketball activities, including ball-handling drills, dribbling practice, layup techniques combined with a nine-grid game, and three-on-three matches. The day was filled with engaging sports activities designed to be both fun and educational.

He hopes that through basketball, children will learn to unite their strengths, cultivate courage when facing setbacks, and develop an attitude of never giving up. Both Kao and Wang shared their heartfelt experiences, expressing the profound impact of companionship and encouraging the children to pursue their dreams with the spirit of a never-give-up athlete.

Seeing the focused expressions and bright smiles of the children during dribbling and practice matches, I deeply feel the pricelessness of companionship. I hope to bring the never-give-up spirit of athletes to the children and give them the courage to chase their dreams.
