Career edit

She developed her badminton skills while attending Taipei Municipal Shezi Elementary School [zh], Taipei Municipal Chengyuan High School [zh], Datong High School, George Vocational High School of Taipei [zh], and Taipei Municipal Song Shan Senior High School.[2] Huang was among the first group of students in Song Shan Senior High School's new badminton club.[3] A 2002 Min Sheng Bao article said, "Huang Chia-hsin is 164 cm tall, which is considered petite, but her footwork is good, and her personality is cheerful."[2] She competed at the 2005 World Badminton Championships in Anaheim and reached the second round, losing to first seed Zhang Ning from China. Her older sister Huang Chia-chi is also a badminton player and taught her the sport.[4] Huang was the bronze medalist at the 1999 Asian Junior Championships in the girls' team event.[5]

A 2005 article in Min Sheng Bao about the MMOA Cup National tournament said, "The disadvantage of Huang Chia-hsin's playing is that she lacks confidence in herself." She thought she had insufficient practice despite having practiced with the national team so was unsure about "defend[ing] her title". The article noted, "In the final, Huang Chia-hsin cut the ball sharply, successfully mobilized Jian Yujin, and defended well."[6]
