Natalo Ba Kami?

The Athletic Intramurals of CLSU culminated just today, August 21, that I do hope that most of our Unit I's Teams which reached the finals grabbed the Gold.

I coached the Unit's Badminton Men's Team. Our team (including that of the ladies) landed 2nd Runner-Up Overall.

Is that OK? For me, its more than OK.

When I received my designation as the new unit coach for badminton, I already had a plan in mind. Since CED has a Multipurpose Hall, we can have our practice there every night. I personally thought of this to avoid the crowded courts in the gymnatorium where Unit V (CAS) usually practices.

Badminton ended Thursday (August 20) morning, without my team in the finals. Was I sad? Was I angry? Was I happy? Is it really just fine?

I have played badminton since grade school. I've been a member of the varsity team since high school until I graduated college. I think I have given my best in preparing our students to compete in the Athletic Intramurals.

There must have been some lapses in my training style but I believe my student athletes gave the other teams a tough competition. I could have psyched them more to prepare them for battle or even during the battle but I'm also an umpire. I felt helpless while I see our players on the other court getting frustrated about what to do while I'm on the other court officiating the other game.

I'm happy because both teams contributed to our overall points in the Unit's standing.

I also believe that our team's efforts, practice and preparations paid off.

Hats off to the Unit I's Badminton team.
