๐ COSCA Cardinals Womenโs Volleyball Varsity
Team Captain
Being a COSCA Cardinal athlete was more than just playing volleyballโit became a huge part of my life and who I am today.
For three years as a student-athlete and two years as a team captain, I experienced both victories and setbacks that taught me lessons I will carry forever. Volleyball taught me discipline, responsibility, resilience, and the importance of trusting the people around me.
I still remember our first NegOrPRISAA. We failed to bring home the gold medal, and as team captain, I blamed myself. Being the only senior left on the team at that time made the pressure feel even heavier. There was even a moment when I wanted to give up and leave the team.
Looking back now, Iโm glad I stayed.
I still had dreams for the team, and together we worked hard to achieve them. We learned that one loss doesnโt define us. What matters is how we get back up, keep fighting, and continue believing in ourselves.
My final playing year was one of the most meaningful chapters of my life. Through FCA Dumaguete and FCA Central Visayas, I gained more than athletic experienceโI gained life lessons, lifelong friendships, and a stronger character.
I would like to sincerely thank Coach Leunel for your guidance, support, and for always believing in me. Thank you for helping shape me into the person I am today.
To Coach Lennie, thank you for giving me the opportunity to proudly represent COSCA.
And to Coach Kirby, thank you for always believing in me, pushing me to be better, and helping me grow not only as an athlete but also as a person. Your trust gave me the confidence to go beyond my limits.
Most of all, thank you to my teammates, coaches, FCA family, and everyone who became part of this journey.
Being a Cardinal will always be one of the best chapters of my lifeโnot because of the medals or achievements alone, but because of the people, lessons, and memories that shaped me along the way.
โค๏ธ Once a Cardinal, Always a Cardinal.
