In recent years, our Juniors Volleyball team has been receiving awards and recognition from competitions here in Negros Island to those held in Metro Manila. The one who has led this team for almost four years was none other than Ella Jayobo, the team captain and one of their main hitters.

The captain started her volleyball journey during her grade two year but she was introduced to it in grade one during the “Teacher for a Day” activity. Before she officially joined the varsity lineup, the person who taught her the basics was Manang Hannah Infante, a former alumna of SJI. Over the years, she has improved not only as a player but also as a person and student.
One of the biggest hurdles as a student-athlete is balancing academics and sports life. But for the volleyball captain, not only is she able to balance both but she can do so while handling her own team. By managing her time wisely, she ensures that her assignments are finished before so that they won’t take up her mind during practice.

She adapts to any situation and when the schoolwork piles up, she knows that academics is the top priority. Despite the loads of schoolwork given in her grade 12 year, her academics have not been affected, showing that she takes her education seriously.

Of course, the body and mind of an athlete have their share of wear and tear. They both need proper rest in order for both of them to function at peak condition. With all the academic load grade 12 has, staying up late is not the solution for her since it will affect her performance in both school and practice. Her way of recovery is by taking short naps in between breaks to help restore energy and keep the mind focused. In addition, she knows that overworking herself will do more harm than good.

Even with the challenges that were in her way, she has risen up and earned her position as captain, leading the team in the Shakey’s Volleyball League. Not only that, she claimed the title of “Best Opposite Hitter” at the recent Jun Layson Cup. Those challenges helped her become a better person while practicing one of the core values of the school: discipline. More than that, her journey has taught her losing is another chance to learn and winning is another motivation.

As her message to everyone, “There will be times when things get overwhelming, but as long as you love what you do and give your best, you’ll always find a way through. Don’t give up on your passion, because it can shape you into a stronger and better version of yourself.”

In a competition, multiple players and teams compete in order to achieve one goal: the Championship title. Every practice is a training ground for them to prepare for what is to come. Yet, no matter how much effort is put in, only one can emerge victorious and claim the gold. On the other hand, other teams are left to fight for the lower ranks. A bittersweet achievement is second place; so close to victory but never enough. There is more than what meets the eye behind an athlete’s medals and trophies when their names are called to receive the 1st runner-up title.

Many people claim, “second place is the first to lose”. This standard breaks the morale of players as they feel all their hard work was all just for people to belittle their skills. It creates a mentality where second placers are just background characters trying to make the champions look victorious. As a result, instead of celebrating the victory, players are left to wonder what they could have done better. Personal battles start to clash with public opinions, creating a battle for the athlete both mentally and physically.

In this fast-changing society, this second place mentality should not be the norm. Everyone should be praised and celebrated for their achievements, whether big or small. At the end of the day, it is about the improvement of the player as they are exposed to more challenging games. It will not always be a smooth-sailing ride in the field of sports because everyone is looking for ways to improve. Therefore, it is best to learn from the mistakes rather than discourage them, for it is these mistakes that will help the athlete learn to be a better player.

Mistakes are just part of the game as they can never be completely prevented. No athlete is perfect in their craft so avoiding errors in a game is nearly impossible. The most important lesson is you learn from mistakes so you can try to prevent them from happening again. Furthermore, these setbacks serve as stepping stones towards success, motivating athletes to never stop learning. One should be reminded that a part of an athlete’s journey is to grow, learn, apply, and come back stronger.

Sometimes, losing is necessary to win as it provides a valuable experience that you can carry throughout your whole athletic journey. Even though second is not the highest achievement in a game, the fact that you only endured one loss is still something worth celebrating. With this, it is prudent to enjoy every moment as an athlete because no one ever knows where this journey could lead to. After all, second place is not the first to lose, but rather the first step towards growth and success.
