We come every 5:30 in the morning. It is hard to explain. But Im making myself better than before. We all are pretty working hard, he said. <\/p>\n
I wish to beat my PBT and the win gold this time, he added. <\/p>\n
He said he also feels good about his team mates specially Traven Quitugua and Zarinae Sapong. <\/p>\n
For his new team mates, he said he helps his coaches bring them up, as well. <\/p>\n
Every time we practice I tell them to be always confident about themselves, dont let themselves down. I always tell them they should learn confidence and feel like a champion, he said. <\/p>\n
