Cyd Demecillo is yet to play a single minute in the current Philippine Super Liga All-Filipino Conference but her downtime hasn’t dampened her spirits as she remained as bubbly as a kid with a balloon.
A leg injury has prevented the outside hitter to partake in the Cargo Movers’ romp of the competition as Demecillo saw her teammates take down opponent after opponent for a 4-0 record.
Demecillo admitted she was getting a little bored from just watching on the sidelines, however, she said she knows she has to rest her legs before taking the court.
“Many times nababagot na ako pero kailangan kong bigyan oras yung injury (Many times I get bored but I need to give time for my injury [to heal]),” said a pouting Demecillo.
While she’s out of action, however, all she can do is be the cheerleader of the team that consists mostly of fellow Lasallians.
“Kung ano matutulong ko, ke cheer or pag abot ng tubig as long as makakatulong sa team (I do what I can even giving water to them as long as I can help the team ),” said Demecillo.
A return nears, however, as Demecillo can finally play in less than a month’s time.
Demecillo said she returned to training but only limited to the ground game.
“Okay na rin naman ako, puwede na ako mag laterals sa training, pero bawal muna tumalon, parang libero uli (I’m in good condition, I can do laterals in training but I should refrain from jumping, like the role of a libero),” said a smiling Demecillo. RAM
