Liang Ru-Nong, coach of the Hualien High School Soccer Team, has led the team to remarkable success through his unique training philosophy and selfless care, securing a championship title in the 107th academic year.

Coach Liang believes that maintaining a healthy physique and physical condition is fundamental for aspiring professional soccer players. Players who cannot maintain proper physical fitness will struggle to perform optimally in high-intensity matches. He emphasizes, "Controlling diet and maintaining self-discipline during holidays are fundamental for staying in good shape." He adds, "Players with goals and dreams will naturally pursue them and should hold themselves accountable for their physical health."
Beyond physical health, Coach Liang also focuses on the players' mental well-being and long-term development. He explains, "In a high school soccer team, the coach's role is to help players find their goals and dreams. I aim to guide them, pave the way, and offer help when necessary."
One of Coach Liang's most memorable moments was leading Hualien High School to the championship in the 107th academic year
Reflecting on his most unforgettable coaching experience, Coach Liang recalls the championship match in the 107th academic year. "Before the championship match, we focused on free kicks, offensive tactics, and mental preparation to ensure the players could perform under intense pressure. In the end, we defeated Beimen High School 3:2. The hard work and dedication throughout the year paid off, and I realized the importance of mental preparation before a match."
Participation in competitive sports significantly impacts a player's growth and development. Beyond soccer skills, Coach Liang also emphasizes life values. "Having a never-give-up attitude and showing respect and politeness are key values I emphasize daily. These lessons benefit not only their soccer careers but also their lives after graduation." The training in a sports team instills unity, cooperation, and perseverance—values that will stay with the players for life.

Training and recovery are equally important. Coach Liang shares, "After matches, we use stretching and ice baths to relieve fatigue, followed by BtNPN Plant Nano Patches to aid recovery. These patches significantly help with post-match recovery and improve performance the next day." He adds, "The BtNPN patches are highly effective. Players report reduced soreness and better recovery after using them overnight."

Coach Liang further explains the usage and benefits of BtNPN patches: "For my players, they are convenient and time-saving. After a match, many players are too tired to stretch or use ice baths properly, but the BtNPN patches work even while they sleep. They provide a cooling sensation with a mild mint scent. Personally, when I had shoulder soreness, applying the patch sped up my recovery noticeably."
Leadtek Technology Chairman Lu Kun-Shan has been a long-time supporter of the Hualien High School Soccer Team
Running a soccer team requires immense effort and time. Coach Liang states, "Regular communication and support build trust between coaches and players. Ensuring players can focus on both training and academics without financial concerns is crucial." He expresses gratitude to Leadtek Technology Chairman Lu Kun-Shan for his long-term support, which alleviates financial worries during tournaments and attracts more talented players to join the team.
Chairman Lu Kun-Shan, a former Hualien High School soccer team member, has been supporting grassroots soccer in Hualien since 2000. His contributions led to the historic achievement in 2005 when Hualien teams won national championships across multiple age categories. Today, Chairman Lu continues his commitment to supporting the team and contributing to the future of soccer in Hualien and Taiwan.
In closing, Coach Liang shares his encouragement for his players: "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Life is competitive; if you don't work hard, you'll be surpassed. Always stay hungry, keep learning, and grow stronger. When you're truly capable, opportunities will naturally come your way. Stay humble and keep working hard."
