‘Super kid’ joins natl football team
Over
the course of the last two seasons of the Asian Football Confederation,
one Filipino athlete has personified the leadership and spirit of the
sport. This 14-year-old girl has been attracting the attention of fellow
athletes and thousands of spectators around the region. This “super
kid” is Michaela Jumawan, a sophomore student of the Foundation
University High School.
Equally devoted to both her sport and her studies, this football enthusiast has shown consistent improvement since the time she entered the university. “Michaela’s vast improvement during her time here at FU is a direct result of her hard work and focus,” said Vladimir Villacora, coach of the FUHS football team. “As a coach, I have never had to worry about Michaela’s motivation, if anything, I have had to hold her back at times.”
Jumawan started playing football recreationally as a 1st grader. “I can still remember that moment when all of us had to play football in our PE class. I didn’t really know how to play then, but when I started kicking the ball and running around the field, I didn’t want to stop. My teacher had to tell me to get back to the classroom,” she recalled. In fact, because of the interest she showed in the sport at such an early age, she was quickly noticed by her first coach and started to get formal training when she had finally become a member of the football team of the FU Grade School.
She was a natural as a child athlete. “I would go jogging with my dad every weekend, and I did it not because I had to do it as an athlete but simply because I enjoy doing it,” she remarked.
Dr. Aparicio Mequi, dean of the Institute for Youth Sports and Peace (IYSPeace) of FU said that despite her active involvement in sports, she also manages to get good grades. And she remains very humble and well behaved,” Mequi added.
At such young age, Jumawan has constantly showed a willingness to take on bigger challenges, especially after she became an official member of the Philippine’s national football team U-14 (under 14) girls’ division, which has competed against countries like Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Guam.
