碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 體育學系碩士班 === 99 === Just Swing and Enjoy the Ball Game : a Glory Story of a School Teacher as a Teeball Coach Student: Lai Adviser: Prof. Hu Abstract I have been fully engaged in the Teeball games since an occasion of training course bringing me to this sport. Establishing Teeball team of Wei-Hu Elementary School in 2001, we have been building good reputation in the field for years since our first appearance in the 2nd Taipei Teeball Game in 2001. We even got in the finals of National Game in 2008 & 2009 when we won the title of Taipei city. Whilst baseball is overwhelmingly developed in Taiwan, with outstanding performance and high records in games either inside or outside the island, physical education on the related area in schools still remains to be improved and further evolved. That made me realize the fundamentality and interest to promote Teeball games in elementary schools, as well as deliberate on the track of my thoughts during my experience of training project in schools and communities. Based on my exploration of documents with regards to Teeball and self narrative, the Teeball game is indeed a good activity for all members of a family, with no limitation of gender or age. The campaign led by Ministry of Education has been currently popularizing the sport throughout the country, and we are therefore able to guide students to safely embrace Teeball which is introduced as a similar style of baseball – the most welcome sport in Taiwan. In this essay by adopting the narrating method of study on qualitative research, I could share not only life experience of being a coach with all readers, but also the true story of my inner world through these years. My research finally concluded with a proposal for a teacher to seek for possible administrative support in school, and adequate integration of the syllabus design and his/her teaching plans. The program can be a success should a teacher significantly incorporate power and capabilities of sponsors, parents and coaches, with sufficient back-up of community resources all the time.
