The Philippine Sports Commission highlighted the importance of passion among sports leaders and coaches in establishing a concrete grassroots program and discovering new talents during the National Grassroots Sports Summit held in Bacolod City in Negros Occidental.
“What’s most important among coaches and leaders here is your passion. Being an ordinary coach can create an extraordinary athlete in the future,” PSC Commissioner Edward Hayco stated.
Hayco, the assigned lead commissioner for the agency’s grassroots initiative program, is continuously roaming the country to deliver the agency’s commitment to intensifying its agenda as mandated by the constitution.
The sports summits have already occurred in Legazpi City, Cagayan de Oro City, Pagadian City, Angeles City, Tuguegarao City, Zamboanga City, and recently in Bacolod City. The next edition will come to the sports stakeholders of Kidapawan City in Cotabato.
The key topics discussed at the summit were the blueprint of the local grassroots initiative within Iloilo City and the intrusion of the relevant legal basis that leaders and coaches can use for lobbying partnerships with their local government units.
Comm. Matthew ‘Fritz’ Gaston also shared the exact sentiment of Hayco as he also graced the latest summit conducted at STI West Negros University.
At the summit in Zamboanga City before the Bacolod leg, around 1,200 attendees came from different associations, such as members of the Private Schools Athletic Association, Zamboanga Peninsula Regional Athletic Association, and local government officials.
Hayco stressed the PSC’s willingness to provide technical support, with the help of national sports associations, among all coaches to fully equip them with the right formula for building up the likes of Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz and Gilas Pilipinas big man June Mar Fajardo.
