It's All About the BOD

Ateneo de Manila, QC - The Philam and White Plains
leagues are underway. From a surprising but still
disappointing third place finish in Philam and
devastating 1point losses in the White Plains finals
last year, Team B2004 is back to bring home the
bacon...now more than ever. As preparation for the
leagues, the bboys aim to improve on their physical
conditioning. The inspiration was brought brought
about by the hulk like bodies of Chad Pacheco, Fidel
Mercado, Jon-D Crisol and Cholo Atienza. The first
loss in Philam this year served as a wake up call for
players like Kito Mojica and Sonnie Guerrero who threw
a number airballs in the game. Clearly, these players
have VERY poor conditioning. Team health consultant
Chuckie Concepcion advised the players to hit the gym
once in a while to somehow give a resolution to this
alarming problem. Now, the WHOLE team is advised to
work out. According to Team health consultant Chuckie
Concepcion, physical conditioning is a big factor in
performing well during games. "Just go to the gym and
do what I do and you guys will be ok. It's all about
the bod," Mr. Concepcion states. Very inspiring words
from the body building machine himself. Starting last
Wednesday, a number of bboys hit the gym. Things
turned out well as the bboys enjoyed another SB event.
But then this question popped in my head, is it just
another SB event? Perhaps not. It is MORE than that.
Willingness, perseverance and camaraderie - these are
the 3 words that come to mind when I think about it.
We see our willingness to win it all, our perseverance
to perform well each game and the camaraderie we share
with each other during the SB event. But are these
enough to make us the team to beat this year? Probably
not. We still remain as the darkhorse(billy
estanislao)in this summer's basketball leagues. But
one thing is for sure. Team B2004 will give its all in
every game. Because every player in the team
beleives that, IT'S NOW MORE THAN EVER...
