#1 Oo nageenjoy ako, sa katunayan nga hinahanap hanap ko ang paglalaro ng Arnis. Kasi diba nag pendemic
maraming kailangang sundin kaya hindi natutuloy ang mga laban.

#2 Para sakin ginagawa ko siyang daan malagpasan ang nga problema dahil sa arnis, kasi nung nagttraining pa
pag may problema niyaya ko ang mga kateammates ko para magtraining hanggang sa nalilinawan nako sa
problema minsan nakakalimutan na, paguwi ko sa bahay parang wala nalang nangyari ganon.

#3 Para sakin ano siya Hobby, kasi kahit walang responsibilidad gagawin at gagawin ko parin siya. Kasi ito
narin yung gusto kong gawin din, pagtraining, magpalakas makalaban sa competition, manalo kasama ang team
ganon, hindi ko siya basta pinapabayaan kasi marami narin akong naranasan kaya hindi ko rin basta
mabitawbitawan tong arnis.

#4 Kagaya nga ng sinabi ko kanina, minsan pagnagaarnis ako ginagawa ko siyang oang relax sa sarili ko.
Ngayon palagi kasi akong magisa dito sa bahay so medyo naboboring wala akong magawa then nagchchat ako
sa mga kateam ko dito sa Quezon na mag training kami, which is ang mga kateam ko naman is ganun rin ang
mindset.

#5 Para sakin. Oo sa tagal ko naring nagaarnis, di ko rin maiwasan na mainis sa mga kalaban, pero habang
tumatagal nasasanay narin ako. Nageenjoy ako at sobrang sarap maglaro lalo na kung nakapag ensayo ng
maayos.

Demerits

#1 Sa ngayon hindi na, pero yung mga kapanahunan ng high school ko madalas naiinis ako o nababagot lalo na
yung mga time na nagppraktis kami ng anyo kasi paulit ulit, pagnagkamali ang isa uulit na naman kaya hindi rin
maiwasan ma istress. Pero ngayon hindi na kasi college na madali ng makasabay ang team
dahil matured. Ganun kuya.

#2 Noon kuya nakakaramdam ako nga Senior highschool, kasi dinadamdam kopa yung mga paninigaw ng
coach namin na umaabot pa sa pagabsent ko sa training. Pero ngayon hindi na bale tinitignan ko na yun as
gabay sakin, kagaya nalang yung nagalit si Coach Vhir kasi bihira lang ako nakakaensayo hindi na sumasama
loob ko parang nagmatured narin ako ganun.

#3 Sakin naman kuya ay hindi naman ako nawawalan ng oras sa ngayon, pero siguro pag nag f2f na baka
mawalan narin ako ng oras sa ibang bagay, kasi nasa probinsya ako kailangan kong lumuwas ng maynila para
magaral at magtraining naka focus sa school kaya mangyayari lang iyon pag lumuwas nako ng maynila.

#4 Ano kasi kuya noong hindi pa naman ako nagaarnis para nagttraining narin ako dahil buhay probinsya nga
mga ginagawa tulad ng pagiigib pag gagatong tas marami pa. Siguro kuya yung marelax ang isip yan ang bihira
ko nalang magawa. Kasi hindi talaga ako sanay ng nakahilata lang. Kumbaga sanay ako ng may ginagawa
ganun kuya.

#5 Hindi naman sa nagpapagutom para saktuhan lang ang kain, para syempre makagalaw ng maayos sa laban at
hindi ka nahihirapan. Kasi madalas naman diba kuya tanghali na nagsisimula ang laban, siguro hindi muna ako
nagtatanghalian hanggang hindi nako nagugutom kasi focus na sa laro.

Mentah health (positive)

#1 Yes kuya meron. Tulad nito ngayon kuya na pandemic parang hindi pa naman ako nawawalan ng pagasa
para makatraining sa Pup kasi gustung gusto talaga na maranasan yung ganong experience. Tsaka hindi lang
naman bilang atleta syempre natuto tayo sa pang araw araw, at may nadagdagan sakin sa mga nakakausap
ganun kuya.

#2 Oo kuya. Dati talaga mahiyain ako noong nagsisimula palang peri syempre habang tumatagal lumalabas
narin yung kulit tapos natututo makipag salamuha sa mga kateam ko. Nakakapagbonding sa training at pagtapos
tapos ng training nagiging goodvibes kasi nakakatawa raw ako.

#3 Oo kuya, nagakaroon siya ng epekto sa pagiisip ko kung ano ba talaga ang gusto ko, kasi Office

akong makipagusap, nakakapagturo nako sa mga bata. Parag maturity ba kuya. Tapos nakakapag coach pag
wala ang coach namin sa laban.

#5 Oo kuya, share ko lang yung may mga nagong players na inaaya ako na maginom gumimil hindi ako
sumama kasi parang wala naman magiging epekto sakin na maganda, pero hindi naman masama ang ginagawa
parang nageenjoy lang, siguro nagfofocus ako sanpageensayo gawa narin ng may event dito sa Quezon na
pinaghahandaan ko kaya siguro ganon nalang ang pagkontrol ko

Negative

#1 Oo kuya, di rin maiwasan na maisip yan kasi marami rin dito sa amin ang naiinjured kaya naiisip ko rin.
Nageensayo ako pag pwede tsaka kasama nag team pero alalay nalang di tulad dati kasi umiiwas lang sa mga
injury gawa narin ng nainjury nako dati nadala nalang.

#2 Hindi kuya kasi para naman sakin iyon siguro sa umpisa nakakahiya syempre baka tawagin na baliw, pero
kung para sa ikabubuti ko hindi nako mahihiya babawi nalang pag gumaling

#3 Oo kuya, madalas nararanasan yan pag lumalaban ako, pero handa naman akong harapin kasi hindi naman
na bago sakin yung ganong pakiramdam, parang naililipat sa magandang paraan para syempre Manalo yung
naman palagi ang gusto ng mga player.

#4 Oo kuya, dati nung 1st year pa, parang nahihirapan ako magtraining sa bahay kasi maliit lang sala namin eh.
Tapos pinapaglitan ni Nanay kasi dito pako sa sala. Minsan hindi nako umaatedlnd ng training parang gusto ko
mapagisa pero nalagpasan ko naman kasi nay kabatch na taga dito kaya doon ako nag ttraining.

#5 Oo kuya, madalas nangyayari to pag nagtutune up sa manila, parang najujudge kami. Pero lagi kaming
sinasabihan ni Coach na wag sila pakinggan maniwala sa team ganun parang nadevelop narin habanv tumatagal.

sa bahay lang hindi naman makakalaban sa totoong laro.

#3 Hindi kuya kasi, nasasayangan ako sa panahon eh, Naniniwala kasi na matatapos din tong Covid kaya di ako
nawalan ng pagasa, muntik lang pala

#1 Sakin kuya hindi, kasi nageenjoy ako sa pageensayo nagiging lifestyle ko narin parang hindi kumpleto pag
hindi ako nageensayo para makapaghanda sa mga dadating na laban kuya.

#2 Sakin po kuya hindi, pag natatalo kasi ako sa laban noon binuboost ng coach namin yung confidence ko para
bumawi, sinasabi niya na di pa naman natatapos sa competition ang lahat dahil marami pa naman laban na
dadating. Tsaka hindi pa tapos yung season ko. Kaya nadala ko to hanggang nag college kaya bihira ako
malungkot pag natatalo

#3 Sakin kuya hindi, kasi part na ng lifestyle ko ang sports, ginagawa kong masaya ang pageensayo kaya
minsan oag nagttraining tayo palagi akong nakangiti. Parang yun narin siguro ang fun activities ko.

#4 Opo kuya, Pag gusto ko minsan magbasketball dito samin ng hapon eh hapon ang training natin, parang
pahinga ko rin yung basketball kasi ibang sports kahit nakakapagod pero syempre aattend ako ng training.
Tsaka minsan pag inaantok ako pero hapon ng training kailangan gising ganun kuya.

#5 Ahhh dito kuya di ko lang maiwasan, siguro sa kaba narin dala ng laban tsaka madalas kasi bagong
maglunch talaga ako lumalaban kasi bantam weight ako eh, diba kuya inuuna yung mga magagaan bago nga
heavy weight. Kaya siguro nagugutom ako pero wala naman nagiging epekto yun sa performance ko

Mental health (positive)

dahilan yung pagabsent sa training maliban kung emergency, kasi responsibility ganun kuya naging atelta ako

yung oras sa bawat gagawin.

#5 Oo kuya pero hindi ko pa siya napeperfect parang nasa proseso palang ako, palagi naman akong nakafocus at
kilala ko naman sarili ko. Minsan humihingi ako ng payo kela coach, palagi ko silang ka chat para makahingi
ng gabay sa kanila.

resulta. Edi mas magiging maayos ang sarili ko ganun.

#3 Oo kuya, inaaccept ko naman yung mga unhealthy pressure kasi hindi naman maiiwasan yun. Nagiisip
nalang ako ng mga positive sa utak ko lalo na pag nasa competition, si coach nagmonotivate sakin napakalaking
tulong nun para sakin.

#4 Sakin kuya hindi naman. Pagnararanasan ko yung mga ganyang bagay madalas nakikipagusal ako sa mga
kabatch ko, humihingi ako ng tips kela Kent kung paano execute yung galaw. Para next training maayos na
performance ko.

#5 Oo kuya nadevelop ko nayan, kasi palagi akong kinakausap ng coach ko dati na magfocus ka lang,
makakabawi tayo tsaka di pa naman huli para magensayo. Kaya ganun nalalaban ko yung anxiety pag may time
na dumadaan sakin.
