Thunderous spikes, desperate dives, and soaring blocks defined the match, but when the final whistle blew, the scoreboard told a story of near triumph—not quite enough.
For Harry Sanchez, coach of tigers, however, the numbers on the board were only part of the story. “Naa may potential mga bata. Among aim is to win, pero mas importante nga makakat-on sila,” he said, reflecting on the effort and learning moments that defined the game.
To him, coaching is not merely about victories—it is about shaping players who grow with every experience, win or lose. He reminds his team to see beyond the immediate outcome. “Mudawat lang jud sila pildi kay every game, naa may mo-win ug lose,” Sanchez said. To him, losses are not failures—they are lessons: opportunities to reflect, improve, and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. Even as the Tigers left the court without a win, they carried more than disappointment. They carried knowledge, experience, and the quiet assurance that a coach’s patient hands can turn every setback into a stepping stone. Though the Tigers were pressed by the match, they shed their fears to reveal sharper claws.
