Brand new it is. The head coach is new and the team is rookie laden. New to the court, new to the atmosphere, the rookies’ first game jitters were evident in the game. But thanks to the seniors in the team, for they did their job to motivate the young ones. Yes they may have lost the first game to the well put and much improved Lady Bulldogs, but that doesn't mean that they didn't fight.
The team did fight. Their performance showed promise. A promise that gave us new hope. A hope that in time, with the right gelling of the team, they will be one of the top contenders for the championship crown.
Yes, ALE you are rebuilding. But we know that you will not put winning as your last option. Yes majority are rookies, but we know God has given you skills.
For the coming days, you will fight with other teams out there. Teams that may have more experience than you. But the advantage that they have doesn’t mean that you do not have any chance of winning against them. ALE, you have a chance against them. Remind yourselves about the reasons why you are there. Remind yourselves why you are chosen to don the blue and white jersey. Remind yourselves what you came there for.
Maliban sa utak at galing, kailangan din ng PUSO ang laro. ALE, realize the power of your dreams. Do not underestimate your ability, instead believe in it. Fight with all your heart. Treat each game as your last. If you won’t win, don’t lose hope. Unlearning is the worst and most tragic part of losing. Learn from every loss. Take your time.
Do not fear the odds. DEFY the odds.
Do not just try. DARE. Dare to be better.
Do not fear losing. LEARN from it, use it as your motivation to do better.
If you lose game 1, there is still game2. If you lose game 2, there will be game 3 and so on. Remember that it is not over until it’s over.
Don’t worry ALE, we always got your back. Remember that your fans are not just fans, we are your supporters. We will be pouring our love to you. We will always be there for you praying for an injury free season, praying for you to learn and have experience, and praying for your success.
To our beloved Den-den, Yel, Michelle, Ana, Mae, Gizelle, Ella, Marge, Tash, Jia, Kim, Kiwi, Bea and Captain Aly:
It may take a day, months or years to improve. In God's time, it will happen. Let Him move.
Your journey will not be easy, that is for sure. But believe that it will be all worth it.
Fight! All for Mary!
Fight for the blue and white!
Rest assured, we are just a step behind you, cheering ONE BIG FIGHT!
