Work hard, play hard

Being a spectator at a thrilling sports event can get your pulse racing. Taking part in the event has the same effect along with many other health benefits. It also generates the production of endorphins which lower stress, improve your mood, and enhance your sense of well-being.

In this edition of HASLink, we share the passionate stories of our colleagues who competed in a diverse range of sports including basketball, softball, dragon boat racing and bowling. They include members of the victorious Hospital Authority (HA) Women’s Basketball Team, which won the Corporate Games for the sixth consecutive tournament this autumn.

Hosted by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the Corporate Games resumed for the first time since the epidemic. Our colleagues demonstrated exceptional sporting talents and team spirit, and earned for HA the Overall Champions in Group A, leaving the first runner-up far behind. Among the 11 sports events, HA has won titles in volleyball, basketball, futsal, table tennis, distance run, and athletics, and was the first runner-up in badminton and tennis, and second runner-up in 11-a-side soccer. This is the seventh consecutive time for HA to win the Overall Champions in Group A at Corporate Games!

The successes have proven how HA colleagues work hard and play hard too. Let’s take this opportunity to cheer them on and look forward to many more victories to come.
