Even in the unfortunate circumstance of defeat, an athlete must still practice sportsmanship Most of the time, it is quite difficult to concede to an opponent It is far easier to blame situations or other people than to accept losing However, a true athlete knows and accepts when he is bested by his opponent A true athlete acknowledges his opponent’s superior skill without being vain or bitter.

Sports is a microcosm of life We win some, we lose some What truly matters is what becomes of us in spite of and despite of victory or defeat

Which is worse?

Failing or Never Trying?

As athletes start to lace up their shoes and step into the ring of battle, a game of the mind and soul starts to commence Unexpected hurdles and obstacles can be easily thrown as they show the side of vulnerability. That is the life of an athlete.

Juggling academics and extracurricular activities, not only show how they can be a "matatag learner" but also how they

overcome the battles that life throws Waking up even though the sun has not yet risen, making this an advantage for them to practice and warm up for their games Getting ready as if there is an upcoming battle of the century that they need to win in order for them to achieve victory

But, Novo Vizcayano learners don't give up that easily. As the inevitable march of the timer starts, the blood and sweat instantly show how brave they are to sacrifice themselves for their respective municipalities to strive for pride and honor.

May it be physical, emotional and even mental they are willing to endure anything for their lifelong commitment in pursuing excellence and supremacy through sports

The pain on their bodies shows how they've dedicated their whole lives just for the sake of getting the gold Yet, life's unpredictability reminds us that victory isn't always assured; sometimes, setbacks are essential for recognizing areas needing improvement

Student athletes embody courage, emphasizing the importance of internal discipline and gracefully accepting defeat as part of their journey

In the eyes of a student athlete, never trying is the worst way of failure As they start to risk everything they have, they can say that they started to gamble in the game called life

Central to their approach is the willingness to accept defeat with an abundance of humility, recognizing that it is an inevitable part of stepping onto the fiercely competitive field of competition
