He competed in the national championships were coaches from Manila saw his potential and offered him a chance to study while playing volleyball.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI only started playing beach volleyball in 2016 when I got to the University of Santo Tomas (UST),\u201d Requinton said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt first, beach volleyball felt so different from volleyball but my coaches, my teammates and my family were there to push me to do my best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Growing up, Requinton did not look too far for inspiration. Other than his coaches and teammates, he looks up to Philippine women\u2019s volleyball superstar Alyssa Valdez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was inspired by her heart, her eagerness to win and her passion to be the best version of herself when playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BpwCIMugGDa\/?igshid=1txo8t26fs4sl<\/p>\n<p>Early on, Requinton showed promise by winning the collegiate beach volleyball championship title and walked away with the Rookie of the Year plum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have always reminded myself to be the best I can be whether in training or in competition. Back then my goals were to be a student-athlete in my dream university, play in the collegiate championships and represent the Philippines in volleyball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Staying committed to his goals, he played a vital role in securing the SEA Games bronze medal for the Philippines. However, the path to the podium had been rough, as he had to portray dual roles \u2013 being a student and being a hero for his country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring training, I have to travel from my dormitory to the training venue. It was quite challenging because I had to balance my time with my classes and training,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bz_4P8fJVF6\/?igshid=15rdpxg6vdkka<\/p>\n<p>Requinton\u2019s name is already in the history books but his mission in the sport does not end there. With years ahead of him, his goal now is to represent the country in as many international tournaments as he can to bring more pride to his countrymen<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs one of the youngest players in the team, I will continue supporting the program and be a model athlete to encourage others who have the potential in beach volleyball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related links of AVC<br \/>\nAVC Website: click www.asianvolleyball.net<br \/>\nAVC Facebook: click www.Facebook.com\/AsianVolleyballConfederation<br \/>\nAVC Twitter: click: https:\/\/twitter.com\/avcvolley<br \/>\nAVC Instagram: click: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/avcvolley\/?hl=en<br \/>\nAVC Youtube: click: Asian Volleyball Confederation<br \/>\nAVC WeChat: Asian Volleyball Confederation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangkok, Thailand, July 11, 2020 \u2013 Winning the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games bronze medal became the best moment for the Philippines\u2019 men\u2019s beach volleyball program and for one of its&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":53183,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[100,86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-slider","category-volleyball-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
