World’s best bowler ever, Pinoy legendary athlete Rafael “Paeng” Nepomuceno, on becoming a champion: “But it’s up to you if you really enjoy what you do, you don’t get bored. You only get bored if you get discouraged or you’re not progressing. If you’re serious on being a champion and you’re going to work for it, I don’t think you’ll get bored from it.” On the need for funding and exposure, even in lighter competitions: “Kung hindi Southeast Asian Games or Asian Games, hindi kami susuportahan. Hindi ka gagaling kasi sa sarili mong bakuran kailangan mo rin ng exposure. (If it’s not the Southeast Asian Games or Asian Games, we don’t get any support. You won’t improve, because you also need to get exposed in your very own backyard.” Great interview in Manila Bulletin, by By Rachel C. Barawid, Angelo G. Garcia and Ronald S. Lim! (There are lessons here, specific for the Pinoy sports community.)
