A fighter
Enormous digs on the rough sand and her immense
saves off the court may leave the audience astonished on their seats while
watching her wild plays. FEU’s Christine Agno is one of the new key additions
for Coach Joseph Santos’ team.
She is the current libero of FEU Women’s Volleyball
team and now changing her style from the solid court to the rough sands.
Adjusting is her top priority now as she is
having a hard time regarding her performance on the sand court. The 18-year-old
native of Legaspi City drastically gave emphasis on her struggles and how she
adjusted.
“Nu’ng una talaga mahirap kasi iba yung galaw
namin, pero tinulungan talaga ako ng Men’s [team] at ni Coach [Santos]
mag-adjust t’saka sarili ko na din (At first it was hard because our moves was
different, but the men’s team and Coach Santos really helped me a lot, and also
myself),” said Agno.
Her struggles and discontentment served as her
motivation to strived to be a better player.
Being a student-athlete, Agno confessed that she
do not go out too much because of school works and all the trainings for the
upcoming season.
“Sa gabi ko talaga ginagawa lahat. Kunyari, mga
gagawa ng assignment, mag-aaral tapos maglalaba. (I am doing everything at
night like my assignment, studying and my laundry),” she added.
Though playing for FEU would mean being far from
home, no tears and pain would actually stop her from pursuing her passion and
love for volleyball.
These two volleyball lovers won’t simply stop at
nothing just to carry the green-and-gold flag all the way to the top. Two words
will be the keys to grab the championship--hunger and focus.
