Passing on the softball tradition – After the Glory

Wang Yi-qi (王逸綺), the current softball coach at New Taipei City’s Wugu Elementary School was once a national softball player. Though she performed on behalf of the nation in countless international events, without a professional Taiwanese softball league she was forced to look at the practical considerations of making a living. After graduation she became a coach, allowing Wang Yi-qi to continue passing on her softball skills from behind the scenes.  

Training in softball since elementary school, Wang Yi-qi represented Taiwan in countless international competitions from junior high school through graduate school. Though Wang Yi-qi reminisces on memories of the past as she watches the children playing softball, today, she has given up personal aspirations and is solely dedicated on passing on the skills of softball on to the next generation.

傳承壘球 在國手光環消失之後

現任新北市五股國小專任壘球教練的王逸綺，曾是一名女子壘球國手。在她的國手生涯中，代表台灣征戰過大大小小的國際賽事，但因為台灣目前沒有女壘的職業隊，迫於現實的考量，畢業後她便轉職擔任教練，退居幕後，繼續傳承她對壘球的熱愛。

王逸綺從國小就開始投入壘球訓練，從國中三年級到研究所的這段國手生涯中，她曾代表台灣參加過許多國際比賽，現在看到小朋友打壘球的身影，也相當懷念過去的回憶，她也調適自己的心態，把這份期待放在小選手身上，希望繼續傳承最愛的壘球運動。
