How Seung-Ahn Lee turned his life around and helped American Dodgeball take root in Taiwan

The sport he had known since childhood became the turning point of his life.

In the summer of 1998, a 12-year-old boy sweated it out at the National Dodgeball Tournament. As captain that year, he led his team to the National Finals, only to lose in the end, but a passion for dodgeball was planted. The tears of the game were not the end of the story, but the beginning of his life story. This boy isEddy Li..

From Player to Coach: A 20-Year Journey Fueled by Passion

Li didn't let obstacles stop him. Even in school and work, he continued to participate in dodgeball tournaments for many years, representing Taipei City and the Chinese Taipei team in tournaments.
As a captain, he and his teammates won second place in both the National championship and also in the Hong Kong championship, and he was awarded the title of "Best Attacker in Hong Kong" at that time. With his years of experience in the game, he has transformed from an elite player to a coach and promoter. He has also established a strong influence in dodgeball between Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Introducing American Dodgeball: Inspired in Hong Kong, Landed in Taiwan

In 2019, Li moved to Hong Kong due to a career change, and was first exposed to the popular sports in Europe and America,"Foam Dodgeball".Foam dodgeball is played with a ball made of foam, which is fast, fun, and safe. It is a great sport that is open to all ages.
He found, surprisingly, that the dodgeball played during childhood could become a more modern, entertaining, and educational form of sport.

With this inspiration, he returned to Taiwan in 2021 to establishChinese Taipei Dodgeball Federation.He wanted to promote the development of this sport in Taiwan, make it an important part of the community,and be the one in promoting foam dodgeball in Taiwan.

From the Ground Up: Building Teams, Systems, and a Vision for Growth

At the beginning, the promotion started from zero. No teaching materials, no resources, and no fixed venue. However, Li always believed that

Life is like a dodgeball game. When the going gets tough, we can either take it or leave it.

He took the challenge, figuring out, learning, and creating a system with partners, and continues to organize foam dodgeball camps and training courses throughout Taiwan. The sport uses six balls at a time for offense and defense, and is extremely demandingTeamwork, tacit understanding, and tactical executionIt is not only a sport, but also a deep communication and trust training.

ow Dodgeball Shapes Minds and Leaders In Schools and in Business

Li also promotes dodgeball as a character and leadership development tool on campuses and in corporations. He emphasizes the values of honesty (Foam Dodgeball is based on integrity), cooperation, and challenge, which have a subtle impact on students and the workplace.

On the university campus, he serves as an instructor, helping students learn tacit understanding and discipline through competition. In the team-building sessions, he works as a consultant and lecturer, designing programs and utilizing dodgeball for leadership and team dynamics training.

Blending Sports and Life Philosophy: Lessons Learned on the Court

For Lee, dodgeball is not just a sport, but also a projection of his outlook on life.

"As each ball comes at us, it's like one challenge after another."

He encouraged everyone toCourage to face pressure and changeIn life, if we encounter difficulties, there is no harm in running away from them, because when the next challenge comes, we will be more prepared because we have already had the experience of the previous one. This attitude has become his core belief in leading his team - that everyone has the ability to seize opportunities and turn things around.
