He has the know-How

Q: This is the first major assignment you’ve had since being involved in sports administration. What’s your challenge being the chef-de-mission?

Ying How: The challenge is to hold a team together. I’ve emphasised that we are a big family. I’ve learned from squash – that athletes face lots of pressure. They feel overwhelmed to deliver, especially in sports that requires one to be calm and steady such as shooting and diving. As the CDM, I do not coach them. But my job is to be there to support them and do everything possible so that they arrive at their events with minimum distraction and maximum reinforcement.
