“Since we conceptualized this seminars, more demands had been coming from the DepEd and Armed Forces of the Philippines,” sabi ni Garcia.
“They are absorbing more of the topics, they are implementing it after, and through this seminar that they know they are now doing the exercise the right way. If you do the exercise wrong, you may cause injury. They say that they are now really doing the right thing and are now progressing,” pahayag pa nito.
Una munang sinimulan ang seminar ni Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) Director General Husaain Al Musallam kung saan ay nagbigay din ng kanilang suporta sina Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) secretary general Steve Hontiveros, 2nd Vice President Jeff Tamayo at Treasurer Julian Camacho.

“There are still small areas to be improved and concentrated for functional growth” pahayag naman ni Rowles. “Each sports has a certain movement. Depending on what kind of sports, we do particular recommendations. The key to what we do is to follow the movement and do the movement perfectly, for a quality improvement.”
