Pacquiao’s loss- a test of character | Punchout
https://mikeochosa.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/pacquiaos-loss-a-test-of-character
Winners always give their all. July 27, 2012. Pacquiao’s loss- a test of character. As a boxing analyst, I have always maintained that whenever I cover a boxing match, my analysis will only cover skills, style, stamina,training and maybe a little bit about a fighter’s emotional state and drive to win. I have always said that it was very difficult to comment about anything else as I will not have any direct knowledge about it. Challenges come in small, medium and large packages. But I guess, the adver...

Winners always give their all. April 12, 2012. Last year, as destiny would have it, God gave me an opportunity to be involved with baseball again. I was given the chance to form and coach a team of 11-12 year olds to compete for the country under the PONY Baseball League. In just over 2 months of once a week practice Habagat 2012 surprised the baseball community once again by performing above par. They have posted wins against teams that have been together for months and to think Habagat training has...

Philippine Habagat Baseball | Punchout
https://mikeochosa.wordpress.com/2012/07/27/philippine-habagat-baseball
Winners always give their all. July 27, 2012. David vs. Goliath. The second batch of 11-12 year old boys who represented the country at the PONY league ASPAC regional qualifiers are now back and practicing with their respective teams. The Habagat program is on its second year and so far, without sounding self serving, it has shown that boys who go through this program can match up against these powerhouse teams. This Chinese coach in fact watched the game against Taipei which Taipei won. But he saw h...

Sports and character | Punchout
https://mikeochosa.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/sports-and-character
Winners always give their all. August 7, 2012. Getting into sports an an early age should not always be about winning. If this is the sole purpose then we all lose the whole point. Involvement in sports must be about building character more than anything else. Winning, or trying to win is only a tool to ensure that the person is exposed to situations which helps him form the correct values-a bedrock of character. I have observed that they end up into being two kinds of athletes:. This group looks at a wi...

Winners always give their all. April 10, 2012. Marvelous Marvin Sonsona- Is he the next Pacquiao? Several weeks ago, I flew to Cebu to cover the fight of our very own Marvin Sonsona. Many still believe that this young Filipino has the talent and skill to come back and take his rightful place in boxing history-after winning his first world championship belt at age 19, many still believe that despite his not so impressive showing after losing the belt, he may still have what it takes.

It can be done | Punchout
https://mikeochosa.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/it-can-be-done
Winners always give their all. August 29, 2012. It can be done. These past 3 months we have seen a lot of records broken in the Olympics. A lot of “it can be done” moments were brought to us live. Some feats close to miracles have materialized as the whole world was watching. Phelps after a bad first race walks away from the event with the most medals ever by an Olympian. Usain Bolt yet again, breaks his own record. A record many have said only a superhuman could outdo. The Habagat team pushed back again...
