CEBU CITY, Philippines — Self discipline and self preservation, according to athletes, are lessons that they have learned while training in their respective sports that have helped them cope
with the enhanced community quarantine that is implemented in the fight against the coronavirus disease 2019 .
“The most important lessons that I’ve learned as an athlete are the preservation of my well-being and the practice of self-discipline because these are things that are important in all aspects of life,” said hotshot booter Leo Gabriel Martin Maquiling, who plays for Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu and Leylam FC.
According to Maquiling, he does it because “I know that it’s the only way that I can stay both mentally and physically healthy during the time that I’m forced to spend at home.” “About aning ECQ, the best lesson being an athlete nga akong na learn is to discipline more myself. It’s because kabalo nata sa balaod karon nga di sa jud ta mag ginahi ug ulo. Maong kailangan sa jud nato disiplinahon atong kaugalingon aron malayo sad ta anang sakit nga ginatawag ug COVID-19,” said Suerte.
“I learned to be flexible, no weights, no problem. You can still be fit by using home stuff for workout and you can include your family too,” said Balais, who is also the team captain of the multi-titled PADS Dragonboat Racing Team.
