as we noticed, the quality of performance of filipino athletes are declining. before, we are a powerhouse in international competitions but now, we could barely win a medal.. even a bronze one.

there are a lot of reasons why we are not performing well in international competitions.. politics, other countries are improving tremendously, athletes lack of heart, money.. etc.. the list would be endless.

how could we corect these problems and regain the status of a powerhouse once again?

.. nice question...

... first and foremost we must know what SPORTS the filipino will be good at.

... What sport will suit our body built and height.

For me, the filipinos love for basketball is wrong. We don't have the height. We cannot compete with other countries who's height is their advantage, like China for example.

.. boxing is one sport we could excel. Bowling. Badminton. Billiards. As you well notice, these sports doesn't need height.

.. but filipinos should focus more on football. Soccer for others. Football don't need height, all it needs is stamina. It should be taught in Grade School to High School to College level. And tournaments should be held. In five years time for sure, we will be at least be respected in the Tiger Cup.
