Positive psychology is Project Wind’s underlying concept. With its name reflecting the headwinds faced by many young people in Hong Kong, it has been providing chances for young people to enjoy sports that might otherwise be missing from their lives. In the process of training, they gain basketball, football and Thai boxing skills, as well as building self-confidence and a law-abiding attitude.

Five aims of three sports

To enhance young people's ability to fight frustration and adversity To encourage perseverance against the odds To establish positive emotions, positive relationships and a positive sense of success To help young people recognize their own value To improve communication skills and interpersonal relationships To encourage team spirit and personal growth To provide opportunities for youth to develop sports as potential careers

Young people’s lives should be filled with learning opportunities and fun and memorable moments. Instead, some teenagers end up in the criminal justice system for committing offences. Some of those young people in conflict with the law come from troubled backgrounds and have emotional and behavioral problems. Their behaviour is a cry for help for a lack of motivation and role models in life. Others need an outlet for highspirited youthful energy. This project helps them all.

BASKETBALL
