Yesterday, I passed by @ Jr NBA Selection in UP Gym, Quezon City. 10-14 youth all over the country were on rigid training with NBA trainers and NBA superstar Luc Longley. Together with PBA veterans and Jolas. I talk to one of the Top 50 Player he told me he's from Puerto Princesa and they are staying in a hotel in QC all expense paid. Together with other players all over the country. Jr NBA of its 5th year already in partner with Alaska and Gatorade help youths reaching 4000 schools nationwide to select the best of the best.
Its good to see this youths show their prowess, doing the selection to made it to the Top 10. In order for them to compete to other countries. I remember during my youth day like im almost losing my breath and actively competing like them. Im also in a rigid training for Selection in Central Gym for Asian Junior Championship, Malaysia. The real meaning of being a winner or making it to the finals is not on how you tell people or hype the public on how good you are.
But instead you can always find them busy in a hardcore or boiler room gym training grounds. It feel pain everyday and lots of sweat where champions were made. Made me realize that the harder you train, the more sweet you gave in - the luckier you'll make it to the podium.
Well, the top 10 finalist will be sent to China to compete with other countries as part of Jr NBA global campaign. Now this youths are very lucky because they have World Class training and coaching staff from the icon Champion players of Chicago Bulls and Alaska Milk. So legend stars somewhere it can be anywhere, who knows one of these kids will become NBA MVP. Anything is possible so keep the ball rolling.
