Alas Pilipinas captain says losses crucial for growth

Alas Pilipinas team captain Julia de Guzman emphasized that losses and failures are essential components of the process toward becoming a better team.

De Guzman highlighted that patience is crucial in building a team culture that prioritizes the journey and growth over immediate outcomes.

She stated that the team views both wins and losses, achievements and failures, as necessary elements for improvement.

The silver medal secured by Alas Pilipinas in the AVC Nations Cup, despite a lopsided finals loss to Vietnam, marks the country's best finish in the sport at the Asian level.

De Guzman believes that focusing solely on game wins or historic feats can obscure the progress, small victories, and experiences gained during a tournament.
