From July 10-14, 2017, the ISSP (International Society of Sport Psychology) 14th World Congress of Sport Psychology was held in Seville, Spain. The theme of the congress is “the integration of science and practice through multicultural bridges, gender and social equality”. Researchers and practitioners in sport psychology and related disciplines from every region of the world attended this congress. Some colleagues of Hong Kong Society of Sport and Exercise Psychology (HKSSEP) also participated in this congress. Our colleague Dr. Si Gangyan, as the president of the ISSP, started this congress. Our HKSSEP colleagues (Mr. Alan Chu, Mr. Su Ning, & Dr. Huang Zhijian) attending this congress shared their research interests and results with the researchers and practitioners from different regions of the world through the forms of workshop, symposium, and poster. In addition, there was also a big good news that Dr. Zhang Chunqing was presented the “Developing Scholar Award” in this congress. This congress was a very great and successful international event of sport psychology, it contributed to the science and practice of sport psychology and related disciplines. Through attending this congress, our HKSSEP colleagues had a good exchange with the international peers from different regions, and let the outside know more about the sport and exercise psychology of Hong Kong.
Congratulations to our member and fellow Sport Psychologist, Dr. Zhang Chunqing, for being rewarded the "Developing Scholar Award" from the International Society of Sport Psychology in the 14th World Congress to be held in Spain in July 2017!
Henry, our President, has been providing on-field support for athletes for different sports. Recently, he participated in the Asian Youth Tenpin Bowling Championships and the Asian Fencing Championships, where the latter was organized in Hong Kong for the first time. It gave athletes a rare opportunity to experience and learn to react to the home-court influence effectively. Henry is currently assisting this team for the World Fencing Championships held in mid-July in Germany. Statistics show that the majority of local athletes are studying part- or full-time, and their common concerns include lack of time management and study-life balance. A cross-cultural longitudinal study (Finland, China, and Hong Kong) on dual career of student-athletes is currently being conducted where a group of Form 4 local student-athletes and their parents will take part for the next three years. Practical insight for better Sport Psychology services for student-athletes is to be explored.
As a full-time academic, Andy, one of our Vice-Presidents, has been devoting most of his time in conducting motor learning in children population, including both typically developing children and children with developmental disabilities. Over the past two years, Andy worked mainly on the internal focus and external focus of attention in assisting children to acquire object control skills (e.g. dart throw, beanbag throw) in more effective ways. One of the major findings is that, focus of attention instruction should be given in such a way to match children’s conscious propensity (i.e in a simple word, personal tendency to focus internally or externally). His works have been published in international peer-reviewed journals (e.g. Psychology of Sports and Exercise, Autism). Andy believes that these findings can provide insights to sports coaches and physical education teachers to design a better instruction protocol when they coach children (either with typically development or with developmental disabilities) in real-world settings.
PURE Fitness has invited Karen, one of our Vice-Presidents, to be a collaborator of their latest “Welcome to the Zone” Campaign to share her professional knowledge on sport and exercise psychology concepts such as flow state and the benefits that come with it.
Karen’s applied practice in sport psychology has also extended to other performance realms. She has recently been invited by Vocational Training Council to conduct a series mental skills training workshops for students leading up to the upcoming World Skills 2017 in Abu Dhabi, by the HK Academy for Performing Arts to work with their full-time dancers, and also by corporate firms, including the China Citic Bank International, in team building training.
Karen also attended the Copenhagen Summit on Mindfulness and Acceptance Approaches in Elite Sport in April 2017. There were Sport Psychologists from 15 countries in attendance - including experts from the Danish Elite Sport Federation, Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sport, Swedish Olympic Committee, Swedish Sport Confederation, Swizz Federal Institute of Sport, Irish Sports Institute, Israel Olympic Committee, Australia Institute of Sport, and the United States Olympic Committee.
