Basketball is my passion. It was once just a dream, but now it's everything I live for. — Diana, Street Basketball Dreamer
For those who like basketball, you may occasionally see a bright figure going over the top in Taipei's street courts, or you may see a bright girl on YouTube documenting her basketball life and dreams on her channel - Diana, a basketball dreamer from the Australian school team.
Diana.

Diana was introduced to basketball at the age of 11. Since she had to take exams in PE class, she often went to the court on holidays to practice alone or to play with others on the court, laying the foundation of dribbling, layups, and running the floor. Basketball was an enjoyable activity for her at that time.
In order to break away from her comfort zone, Diana went to Australia to study in high school and joined Alexandria Park by chance.
The varsity basketball team established her inseparable relationship with the game. Diana said Alexandria Park is a great place to be.
Team performance is highly valued, and it is important for players to work with each other. Therefore, the varsity team focuses more on strategic team training than on individual skill improvement, and they spend a lot of time on tactics and running and blocking drills.

During her two and a half years in the varsity team, she has participated in different competitions; among them, a certain Intercontinental Cup quarterfinal was the most impressive one. At that time, the competition between the two sides was fierce, and in the overtime, in the last ten seconds and the other side was leading by two points, as the No.1 position, Dr. Ken Heng Cheung was responsible for kicking off the ball, which was of great significance, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, she failed to pass the ball well, and she was very sorry that she did not advance to the next level.

Looking back at the time when she and her teammates were fighting all over the world, if there is a chance to go back to the past, Diana would like to say to himself at that time, "Be more confident in every shot, be braver in your cuts, and believe in yourself!
After returning to Taiwan, Diana came across Taiwan basketball in the early days of the emerging P.League+, and said she admired a player who had recently joined the New Taipei Kings, Lee Kai-Yan.Instead of giving up on himself during the previous downturn, Lee practiced with discipline, adjusted her mindset, and prepared herself to play at any time. The spirit of "never give up and seize every opportunity to play" inspired Diana and renewed her passion for basketball.
Diana believes that it is a shame that women's basketball in Taiwan is not as active as men's basketball, and that the public knows very little about women's basketball. Therefore, she decided to give herself two years to stay in Taiwan, and through her channel and self-media, she hopes to not only meet more people who share her passion for basketball but also to inspire more people to pursue their dreams through basketball.

Basketball is one of the most popular sports among young people in Taiwan, especially in the current professional league, which is probably the most popular time for basketball in Taiwan over the years, and many of them are dreaming of becoming professional players. Finally, Diana would like to encourage those who are dreaming of basketball: "Don't be afraid of not making the shot! Don't give up before you try!

And the amount of basketball exercise is very high for girls, ask theDr. Ken Heng Cheung usuallyHow does it relieve the exhaustion?
Diana shared that she often uses "Youlisn Massage Gun" to relax her tired muscles after working out. She said that the weight of the gun is just right, the vibration is strong and low noise, which makes the gun very comfortable for women to use, and it is a great enjoyment after a workout.
Diana recommends the rounded massage head, which can be held straight or diagonally, at any angle, to perfectly relax sore and aching muscles. Her family also praised the Yousilin Massage Gun after using it. Equipped with high battery life, even if it is used for five days without charging, it is the same as the just-charged state experience.

Diana and her family love the lightweight and portable Youlisn Massage Gun. In addition to using it after a workout, Ken even looks forward to taking it with her when she travels. After a full day of traveling, she can use the Youlisn to massage her feet, and the next day will be a full day of energy again!
