Valdez gustong sundan ang mga yapak ng amang shooter
MANILA, Philippines - Mula sa pagiging isang ‘weekend warrior’, umaasa si shooter Jayson Valdez na maging isang full-pledged athlete kagaya ng kanyang amang si Julius sa 26th Southeast Asian Games sa Palembang, Indonesia.
Magsisimula ang shooting competition ng 2011 SEA Games sa Biyernes.
“After the Asian Airgun Championships in Kuwait, I already trained daily to correct some minor flaws. So I’m more confident now than before, and hopefully I can improve my scores,” wika ng 16-anyos na si Valdez. “But I have to be extra sharp and tough to win.”
Lalahok si Valdez sa tatlong events. Ito ay sa 50-meter rifle prone, 50m rifle 3-position at 10m air rifle.
Kinatigan naman ito nina Philippine National Shooting Association (PNSA) president Mikee Romero at multi-titled pistol shooter Tac Padilla.
“Watch out for this young sensation, he could be the first athlete to produce the Olympic gold medal our country has desired for so long. Jayson is full of talent and is a warrior at heart,” wika ng CEO at president ng Harbour Centre.
Maliban kina Valdez at Padilla, isasabak rin ng PNSA sa 2011 SEA Games sina Mae Concepcion, Inna Therese Gutierrez, Carolino Gonzales, Mark Lorenz Manosca, Lovely Venus Tan, Andrea Faustman, Frances Nicole Medina, Shanin Lyn Gonzales at Clarissa Esteves.
