The Philippine Sports Commission highlighted the importance of passion among sports leaders and coaches in establishing a concrete grassroots program and discovering new talents during the National Grassroots Sports Summit held in Bacolod City in Negros Occidental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s most important among coaches and leaders here is the passion you have. Being an ordinary coach can create an extraordinary athlete in the future,\u201d PSC Commissioner Edward Hayco stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hayco, who is the assigned lead commissioner for the agency\u2019s grassroots initiative program, is continuously roaming across all corners of the country to deliver the agency\u2019s commitment in intensifying its agenda as mandated by the constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sports summit have already taken place in Legazpi City, Cagayan de Oro City, Pagadian City, Angeles City, Tuguegarao City, Zamboanga City, and recently in Bacolod City. The next edition will come to the sports stakeholders of Kidapawan City in Cotabato<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the key topics discussed in the summit were the blueprint of the local grassroots initiative within Iloilo City and intrusion of the relevant legal basis that can be used by leaders and coaches for lobbying partnerships with their local government units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comm. Matthew \u2018Fritz\u2019 Gaston also shared the same sentiment of Hayco as he also graced the latest summit conducted in STI West Negros University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over in Zamboanga City, the summit prior to the Bacolod leg, around 1,200 attendees came from different associations such as members of the Private Schools Athletic Association, Zamboanga Peninsula Regional Athletic Association, and local government officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
