Athlete Mindset

“The truth is you don’t need most stars, hype, or rankings. Just your discipline, heart, and people who believe in you. And you need to believe in your own ability.”

— Fernando Mendoza, 2025 Heisman Trophy

I was a student-athlete when I studied in bachelor’s degree at NTU. I had been the captain of varsity team NTU Owls from 2019 to 2021. I led the team to be the only team in the Taiwan history without any basketball-specialized students in Division 1 (video, article).

I have been a Lakers fan since the 2007-08 season. My favorite player is Kobe Bryant (Mamba Mentality). After he retired, I enjoyed Rajon Rondo’s game. Besides, I love tactics design, especially for zone defense, full court press & break, and 5-out motion offense.
