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.
