    when you think of sports
  • 00:00:17
    what do you think of do you picture a
  • 00:00:20
    person running a marathon
  • 00:00:23
    to people playing a game of tennis or
  • 00:00:26
    maybe a group of people playing
  • 00:00:27
    basketball
  • 00:00:29
    maybe you picture a man scoring a goal
  • 00:00:32
    into the football net
  • 00:00:33
    or a woman striking a pose in yoga
  • 00:00:37
    sport at its most basic is movement
  • 00:00:41
    and physical ability it's something that
  • 00:00:43
    supports our physical
  • 00:00:45
    and mental and social health and
  • 00:00:47
    provides a platform for
  • 00:00:48
    us to enhance our life skills sports
  • 00:00:52
    provides a place where people of
  • 00:00:54
    different ages
  • 00:00:56
    gender religion culture
  • 00:00:59
    sexuality can come together and unite
  • 00:01:03
    over teamwork and shared love of a
  • 00:01:05
    sports team
  • 00:01:07
    sports is something that we should all
  • 00:01:09
    be engaging in
  • 00:01:11
    but have you noticed that sometimes
  • 00:01:14
    sports
  • 00:01:14
    is inaccessible to some of us
  • 00:01:18
    why is there a divide in sports
  • 00:01:22
    earlier when i asked you to think of
  • 00:01:24
    sports would a female motor car racer
  • 00:01:27
    or a male ballerina have immediately
  • 00:01:29
    crossed
  • 00:01:30
    your mind stereotypes are pervasive in
  • 00:01:33
    sports
  • 00:01:34
    it's still primarily a male domain
  • 00:01:37
    children from disadvantaged backgrounds
  • 00:01:39
    frequently have less access to resources
  • 00:01:42
    and venues to participate
  • 00:01:43
    sports in the elderly and people with
  • 00:01:46
    chronic conditions
  • 00:01:48
    often don't meet the physical activity
  • 00:01:50
    levels suggested by the world health
  • 00:01:52
    organization it pains me when i think of
  • 00:01:56
    this
  • 00:01:57
    because i think everyone should have the
  • 00:01:58
    opportunity to engage in sports
  • 00:02:01
    and reap the benefits that it can bring
  • 00:02:03
    to them
  • 00:02:05
    as a child i loved playing sports
  • 00:02:09
    and i loved being outdoors my parents
  • 00:02:12
    were mostly very supportive of me
  • 00:02:14
    but they were cautious of me playing
  • 00:02:16
    sports like rugby
  • 00:02:18
    and athletics i could figure skate
  • 00:02:22
    but i was discouraged from ballet
  • 00:02:25
    kicking a ball around with my cousins
  • 00:02:27
    was normal
  • 00:02:28
    but i was also told that football isn't
  • 00:02:30
    for girls and that it would make me
  • 00:02:32
    short
  • 00:02:33
    i loved running around hopping skipping
  • 00:02:37
    like many kids do but if i came home
  • 00:02:40
    with cuts and bruises from falling over
  • 00:02:43
    i was told that i was careless needless
  • 00:02:46
    to say
  • 00:02:47
    playing sports but sometimes quite
  • 00:02:49
    confusing
  • 00:02:50
    for me the sports field
  • 00:02:53
    was where i most felt like myself it's
  • 00:02:56
    where i formed
  • 00:02:57
    many of my friendships watching sports
  • 00:03:00
    has given me many conversational points
  • 00:03:03
    with my dad
  • 00:03:04
    and playing sports is my outlet it helps
  • 00:03:07
    me channel my inner competitiveness
  • 00:03:10
    and pushes me to think about my own
  • 00:03:12
    self-development
  • 00:03:14
    and as i've gotten older i've begun to
  • 00:03:17
    engage in sports
  • 00:03:18
    differently through coaching and
  • 00:03:20
    development
  • 00:03:22
    i started a non-profit that champions
  • 00:03:24
    sports
  • 00:03:25
    for women and girls engaging in sports
  • 00:03:29
    brings me purpose and fulfillment and i
  • 00:03:32
    know the transformative
  • 00:03:34
    power of sports and i also know
  • 00:03:37
    the barriers that society erects to keep
  • 00:03:41
    people
  • 00:03:41
    from accessing sports from speaking to
  • 00:03:45
    many women and girls as a non-profit
  • 00:03:47
    i know why sports are important to them
  • 00:03:51
    sports are part of who i am sports
  • 00:03:54
    keeps me grounded sports has taught me
  • 00:03:57
    how to be compassionate and how to be
  • 00:03:59
    supportive
  • 00:04:00
    of other people sports has taught me
  • 00:04:03
    discipline
  • 00:04:04
    which i've applied in my professional
  • 00:04:06
    career and i can see the same thing
  • 00:04:08
    happening for my daughter
  • 00:04:10
    through sports my daughters learned that
  • 00:04:13
    they may not be good at something right
  • 00:04:15
    away
  • 00:04:16
    but the real lesson is that it takes
  • 00:04:17
    time and practice
  • 00:04:19
    and they must learn to deal with
  • 00:04:20
    frustration and disappointment
  • 00:04:24
    and data supports why women and girls
  • 00:04:26
    should engage in sports
  • 00:04:28
    the research shows that girls who
  • 00:04:31
    participate in sport
  • 00:04:32
    are likelier to report higher levels of
  • 00:04:35
    confidence
  • 00:04:36
    are likelier to believe that they're
  • 00:04:38
    smart enough for their dream career
  • 00:04:39
    and less likely to want to change their
  • 00:04:41
    body image
  • 00:04:43
    plenty of research shows that playing
  • 00:04:46
    sports
  • 00:04:47
    helps us build skills like perseverance
  • 00:04:50
    time management
  • 00:04:51
    communication and teamwork
  • 00:04:54
    i started out by encouraging more women
  • 00:04:57
    and girls
  • 00:04:58
    to engage in sports and i continue to be
  • 00:05:01
    a huge proponent of this
  • 00:05:03
    and over time i've come to realize
  • 00:05:07
    that sports are a powerful tool for
  • 00:05:09
    economic
  • 00:05:10
    empowerment and for fostering a diverse
  • 00:05:13
    and inclusive society
  • 00:05:18
    can you recall a time when you walked
  • 00:05:20
    past the public sports field in hong
  • 00:05:22
    kong
  • 00:05:23
    did you see more men and boys than women
  • 00:05:25
    and girls
  • 00:05:26
    playing sports if your answer is
  • 00:05:29
    yes that's not so surprising
  • 00:05:32
    research in hong kong shows that there
  • 00:05:35
    are more teenage
  • 00:05:36
    boys than teenage girls engaging in
  • 00:05:39
    sports as an extracurricular
  • 00:05:42
    global research shows girls drop out of
  • 00:05:45
    sports at twice
  • 00:05:46
    the rate of boys if you're a woman and a
  • 00:05:50
    girl
  • 00:05:51
    maybe you can relate to why were you
  • 00:05:54
    told to concentrate on your studies
  • 00:05:56
    and not to play so much
  • 00:05:59
    were you made to feel like you don't
  • 00:06:01
    really belong on the sports
  • 00:06:03
    field perhaps geared at for making a
  • 00:06:05
    mistake
  • 00:06:06
    or told that you're too muscular too
  • 00:06:09
    rough
  • 00:06:10
    or too attacked tomboy
  • 00:06:13
    or maybe you were told that you don't
  • 00:06:15
    behave like a girl
  • 00:06:17
    for me my own mom sometimes joked
  • 00:06:20
    that she had given birth to a son and
  • 00:06:23
    not a daughter
  • 00:06:24
    because i was so active
  • 00:06:28
    in 2018 at the non-profit
  • 00:06:31
    we launched a survey that uncovered that
  • 00:06:34
    two-thirds of our respondents feel women
  • 00:06:36
    and girls face more challenges than men
  • 00:06:39
    and boys
  • 00:06:40
    when accessing sports some reasons
  • 00:06:43
    among many physical challenges
  • 00:06:46
    sexism not being supported or having the
  • 00:06:49
    resources
  • 00:06:50
    to engage in sports and the need to
  • 00:06:53
    prioritize
  • 00:06:54
    family mothers in particular
  • 00:06:57
    felt they have no time and is not
  • 00:07:00
    prioritized
  • 00:07:01
    among the list of responsibilities that
  • 00:07:03
    they have
  • 00:07:05
    other stories that we've heard from
  • 00:07:08
    a high school student there's a boys
  • 00:07:11
    team
  • 00:07:11
    but not a girls team for the sport i
  • 00:07:13
    want to play in
  • 00:07:15
    i either have to change sports or i have
  • 00:07:18
    to play with the boys
  • 00:07:19
    but because they do tend to be taller
  • 00:07:21
    and bigger than me
  • 00:07:22
    i am more conscious about my safety
  • 00:07:25
    from an international school student i
  • 00:07:28
    heard
  • 00:07:29
    the boys get better and more field times
  • 00:07:32
    but our performance in competition is
  • 00:07:34
    just as good
  • 00:07:36
    and from a local school student i once
  • 00:07:38
    heard
  • 00:07:39
    because there are more boys playing
  • 00:07:41
    sports the boys will play on school
  • 00:07:44
    grounds
  • 00:07:44
    after school classes are over but
  • 00:07:48
    her and her school friends will go to a
  • 00:07:50
    different district and on the weekends
  • 00:07:53
    and not to mention that women and girls
  • 00:07:56
    in sports
  • 00:07:57
    frequently are less visible in media and
  • 00:08:00
    public domains
  • 00:08:01
    there's less investment and resources
  • 00:08:03
    going into supporting women and girls
  • 00:08:05
    sports women athletes are frequently
  • 00:08:08
    paid less
  • 00:08:09
    than their male counterparts and
  • 00:08:12
    there are fewer women in leadership
  • 00:08:14
    positions in the sports industry
  • 00:08:17
    it's not right that sports are
  • 00:08:19
    prioritized for men and boys
  • 00:08:22
    not when sports supports our health
  • 00:08:25
    and our professional development
  • 00:08:28
    three-quarters of c-suite respondents to
  • 00:08:30
    an ey research
  • 00:08:31
    indicated that a background in sports
  • 00:08:34
    can
  • 00:08:35
    accelerate a woman's career
  • 00:08:39
    this past year as gyms and sports
  • 00:08:42
    facilities closed
  • 00:08:44
    did you find yourself participating in
  • 00:08:46
    online workouts
  • 00:08:48
    maybe you have fast enough internet and
  • 00:08:51
    space at home
  • 00:08:52
    to lay out some equipment or a mat
  • 00:08:56
    but can you imagine how this type of
  • 00:08:58
    virtual interaction
  • 00:09:00
    would work for families living in
  • 00:09:01
    subdivided units
  • 00:09:03
    it's impossible coven 19
  • 00:09:07
    may have shown a light on inequality but
  • 00:09:10
    the divide is deeply rooted
  • 00:09:14
    research has shown that children from
  • 00:09:16
    low-income families
  • 00:09:17
    are likelier to feel deprived of the
  • 00:09:20
    opportunity to participate in sports
  • 00:09:24
    and given how academics are important
  • 00:09:28
    when families have extra resources
  • 00:09:30
    they're likelier to prioritize
  • 00:09:32
    tuition sports are merely a nice to have
  • 00:09:37
    and other barriers cost of equipment
  • 00:09:41
    cost to get to venues and the cost of
  • 00:09:43
    the venue itself
  • 00:09:44
    and the situation is even harder for
  • 00:09:47
    low-income ethnic minority families
  • 00:09:49
    where
  • 00:09:50
    it's not just cost that can be
  • 00:09:52
    prohibitive but there
  • 00:09:53
    are also language and cultural barriers
  • 00:09:56
    that have fewer opportunities for them
  • 00:09:59
    to engage in sports
  • 00:10:00
    that meet their preferences and what
  • 00:10:03
    about for
  • 00:10:04
    individuals who have different
  • 00:10:06
    intellectual and
  • 00:10:07
    physical abilities hong kong has some
  • 00:10:11
    metal winning paralympians but the
  • 00:10:13
    general perception
  • 00:10:15
    is still that people with disabilities
  • 00:10:18
    shouldn't or can't engage in sports
  • 00:10:21
    and as such there are also very few
  • 00:10:23
    opportunities
  • 00:10:24
    for them but regardless
  • 00:10:28
    playing sports and engaging in sports
  • 00:10:31
    provides young people
  • 00:10:33
    with the opportunities to practice
  • 00:10:35
    resilience
  • 00:10:36
    overcome challenges and build social and
  • 00:10:39
    emotional skills
  • 00:10:40
    that support them for life it shouldn't
  • 00:10:43
    be that only those with the resources to
  • 00:10:45
    access sports
  • 00:10:47
    who get to do so this divide
  • 00:10:50
    cannot continue to propagate and the gap
  • 00:10:53
    will only keep
  • 00:10:54
    widening without our collective action
  • 00:10:57
    to address these
  • 00:10:58
    issues and not to mention the
  • 00:11:01
    intergenerational effect
  • 00:11:03
    that lack of sports has
  • 00:11:06
    i've witnessed that families with lower
  • 00:11:09
    sports competence
  • 00:11:10
    and literacy are generally less equipped
  • 00:11:13
    to teach their children skills such as
  • 00:11:16
    foundational
  • 00:11:18
    functional and coordination movements
  • 00:11:20
    which are important for sporting skills
  • 00:11:22
    and in turn nurture health and sporting
  • 00:11:26

    globally sports is recognized as an
  • 00:11:31
    enabler for sustainable development
  • 00:11:33
    whether it's for improving our health
  • 00:11:36
    reducing disease
  • 00:11:37
    for poverty alleviation achieving gender
  • 00:11:40
    equality
  • 00:11:41
    are for building sustainable and
  • 00:11:44
    resilient communities
  • 00:11:46
    in hong kong especially in recent years
  • 00:11:49
    the recognition of sports contribution
  • 00:11:52
    to enhancing our livelihoods has
  • 00:11:54
    certainly
  • 00:11:55
    increased but it's still not enough
  • 00:11:58
    and together we must continue to promote
  • 00:12:00
    sports
  • 00:12:02
    activate people to get physically active
  • 00:12:04
    and
  • 00:12:05
    grow the sporting culture and ecosystem
  • 00:12:07
    and we must do so in ways
  • 00:12:09
    that promote equity in sport
  • 00:12:12
    here are some of my suggestions to
  • 00:12:15
    encourage more moms
  • 00:12:16
    to engage in sports and help overcome
  • 00:12:19
    their perception that they don't have
  • 00:12:21
    time
  • 00:12:22
    organize family activities such as
  • 00:12:25
    mothers and daughter sports days
  • 00:12:27
    which promote fun and inclusion can
  • 00:12:30
    bring in women
  • 00:12:31
    as coaches and role models but also
  • 00:12:34
    enhance family bonds
  • 00:12:37
    to support girls to overcome the
  • 00:12:39
    challenges they feel
  • 00:12:41
    when accessing sports provide leadership
  • 00:12:44
    and training programs
  • 00:12:45
    that help them build not just sporting
  • 00:12:47
    skills but skills that are transferable
  • 00:12:49
    to the workplace
  • 00:12:51
    skills such as coaching marketing
  • 00:12:54
    finances budgeting and pairing them with
  • 00:12:58
    athletes as mentors who can support and
  • 00:13:01
    elevate
  • 00:13:01
    them and together we can
  • 00:13:04
    build a community of change makers and
  • 00:13:08
    girls who can advocate for themselves
  • 00:13:12
    to make sports more for all
  • 00:13:15
    partner with donate to fund
  • 00:13:18
    volunteer at philanthropic and
  • 00:13:21
    non-profit
  • 00:13:22
    organizations and provide more sporting
  • 00:13:24
    opportunities
  • 00:13:25
    especially in low-income neighborhoods
  • 00:13:28
    by providing
  • 00:13:30
    traditional to niche sports at free or
  • 00:13:33
    affordable rates
  • 00:13:34
    we can alleviate the financial burden on
  • 00:13:37
    families
  • 00:13:38
    and also expose children to the variety
  • 00:13:41
    of sports
  • 00:13:42
    that are available and nurture their
  • 00:13:44
    sporting interests
  • 00:13:45
    and corporates such as banks and real
  • 00:13:48
    estate companies
  • 00:13:49
    can invest into upgrading facilities or
  • 00:13:53
    providing more venues
  • 00:13:55
    for people to engage in sports
  • 00:13:58
    and just as there are schemes such as a
  • 00:14:01
    school textbooks allowance or student
  • 00:14:03
    travel subsidy scheme
  • 00:14:05
    there can be more schemes that provide
  • 00:14:07
    scholarships or subsidies
  • 00:14:09
    for sports participation
  • 00:14:12
    when women and girls and young people
  • 00:14:15
    tell me how much they love
  • 00:14:16
    playing sports it's not fair that they
  • 00:14:19
    have trouble
  • 00:14:20
    accessing what they love
  • 00:14:23
    when we teach sports we see countless
  • 00:14:26
    smiles on people's faces
  • 00:14:28
    whether they are running warming up
  • 00:14:31
    hopping in and out of an agility ladder
  • 00:14:33
    high-fiving their friends it doesn't
  • 00:14:36
    matter if they're young
  • 00:14:37
    or old a man or a woman
  • 00:14:40
    a boy or a girl speaks a different
  • 00:14:43
    language or has a different skin color
  • 00:14:46
    sports are fun sports are empowering
  • 00:14:50
    and sports is for everyone
  • 00:14:54
    i envision a world where everyone has
  • 00:14:56
    the opportunity to
  • 00:14:58
    engage in support of their choice
  • 00:15:01
    and i'm playing a role to make sports
  • 00:15:04
    more equitable in hong kong
  • 00:15:07
    will you join me
  • 00:15:17
    you
