Alyssa Valdez: The phenomenal volleybelle
Right after her morning training, she comes to the shoot wearing a blue T-shirt that says “Heart Strong,” along with colored denim shorts and slippers, and carrying a training bag.
She exudes a radiant aura while flashing a big smile and saying, “I’m so sorry I’m late, I came from training and a team meeting.” Ateneo women’s volleyball team captain Alyssa “The Phenom” Valdez is genuinely nice on and off the court.
She admits that her parents are strict. Being the only girl in the family, she spent most of her growing-up years playing with her brothers. Their being athletic spurred her interest in sports.
“I can’t remember if I had any hobby that wasn’t sports-related,” says Alyssa. While her brothers were into basketball, she learned to play volleyball.
What started out as a hobby during her grade school years became a full-blown preoccupation when she entered high school at University of Santo Tomas.
“My coaches were really patient in teaching me,” she recounts. “What I’m really thankful for is that they polished me from scratch and pushed me to do well in every game.”
