The best news I've heard this week so far. Coach June Golosinda, my Highschool Coach in World Citi Colleges, asked me to play for him in the upcoming National Basketball Competition to represent The Quezon City Basketball Team. And I was like, Oh yeah, sure why not?
Yesterday marked the first practice session of the team, I came as their most seasoned player, knowing that I've played for four years in highschool and I'm 17 (The event is 18 and below). I saw my teammates and what can I say? They're tall, agile and talented. Then came my coach, we haven't seen each other for months and he was shocked when he saw his most hardworking player from his last year's team out of shape, about 20 pounds overweight and out of condition.
Well, atleast I finished the practice without blowing up or getting cramped. We have a good coaching staff; Coach P from Ateneo to take care of the conditioning duties, Coach Ollie from SCS to take care of our skills and Coach John to act as our Scouting coach. Of course, Coach June will handle the team, and I think he's one of the best Coaches in the Philippines right now.
Next practice session is thursday afternoon. Wish me luck. The National Competition starts at January 15 next year.
