Driven by commitment and dedication, a grade 10-SSC student from Central Philippine
University Junior High School (CPUJHS), JC Legarde, has been named Athlete of the
Month for the current grading period. He was amazed and grateful, never envisioning himself
achieving the said title.

“I felt really surprised and thankful. I didn’t really expect it, but it made me proud
knowing that my work and effort were noticed. It motivated me to keep on improving.”
says Legarde.

What stood out the most wasn’t about a single big play, it was seeing his skill develop
bit by bit during practices and matches. Noticing his training pay off, even in small ways,
gave him the motivation to keep striving for more.

While his achievements may look easy to attain, Legarde deals with challenges like
fatigue and self-doubt, as well as balancing school work with volleyball. He pushes
forward by staying patient, trusting the process and reminding himself that progress
takes time.

Looking ahead, he’s focused on staying consistent in both training and school,
developing his skills, and supporting his team. He also aims to strengthen his mentality
through focus and discipline, working to become a better player while learning to handle
pressure and challenges. With his unwavering drive and determination, he shows
younger athletes that hard work pays off, and that growing strong on and off the court
matters just as much as winning.

“If you are working on something that you really care about, you don’t have to be
pushed.” He states, showcasing how genuine passion is what keeps us going even
when things get tough.

Fueled by training and durability, Amal Erlis Gallego, an eighth-grade student from Central Philippine University Junior High School (CPUJHS), receives the award and title of Athlete of the Month for the third grading period. Upon receiving the news, she expresses her happiness and gratitude after having little to no expectations of fulfilling this title. "I didn't expect it, so it made me feel proud and motivated to do better and keep improving," says Gallego.

The Palayag Festival one-day league, held in January, became the most memorable game for her. Playing in her own municipality, Gallego felt honored to serve the ball in front of a supportive home crowd.

Although her victory appears flawless and smooth to the crowd, Gallego shares that she still encounters on-and-off-the-court challenges that lead to struggles, such as a lack of motivation, negative people trying to bring her down, and the thought of giving up. Being a student athlete is never easy work, but despite her struggles, she pushes her way through while constantly reminding herself that she truly loves volleyball and why she started in the first place.

In preparation for her upcoming matches, Gallego aims to better herself than she currently is, improve her skills, stay humble, and share what she learns with others, all while continuing to grow as an athlete and a person. By showcasing her determination, she inspires other young, up-and-coming athletes who look up to her.

"Do it tired. Do it unmotivated. Do it anyway, because progress doesn't wait for perfect moments." she says, emphasizing the significance and impact of discipline.
