Ano ba yung tama? Ito ba &#x27;yung dapat yung gawin?&#x27;&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;And then, in terms of communication, it&#x27;s... mas magaan na siya. Kumbaga talagang mas napag-uusapan. Lahat ng ways and methods na pwede nilang [gawin], kung paano nila dapat i-express maybe sa coaches nila, maybe sa peers nila, or sa teammates nila, sobrang napag-uusapan na to a point na okay, eto na talaga.
