Dante Alinsunurin bet on himself and it paid off.
This is the sign you’ve been waiting for to shoot your shot.
New Choco Mucho coach Dante Alinsunurin shared he wasn’t actually approached to lead the Flying Titans. In reality, the multi-titled tactician sought the spot.
“Ang ginawa ko talaga is nag-apply ako,” Alinsunurin said.
Although, having four UAAP and Spikers’ Turf titles under his name probably made it easy for the Choco Mucho management to accept his application.
Still, the ever-humble NU Bulldogs coach is not taking the job for granted.
“Sinwerte ako na ako ‘yung pinili nila na humawak ng Choco Mucho. Sobrang thankful ako sa management na binigyan nila ako ng tiwala.”
Alinsunurin said he’s not going to rush the development of Choco Mucho.
“Sinabi ko sa management na hindi ako nagmamadali. Ma-adapt muna nila ‘yung sistema na gusto kong ibigay sa kanila para mas maganda ‘yung galaw din.”
Choco Mucho will receive the same schemes Alinsunurin is implementing with his champion squads in the men’s division.
“Two, three weeks na kami na nagte-training. ‘Yung team na ‘to mataas ‘yung level ng skill kaya madali silang bigyan ng instruction kung ano’ng kailangang gawin,” Alinsunurin said. “Nagfo-focus lang kami sa kundisyon ng katawan nila kasi doon makikita kung hanggang saan talaga sila, ‘yung team namin, at kung papano fully maa-adapt ‘yung sistema.”
Although Alunsunurin is not rushing things with the Flying Titans, the champion coach still has high hopes in his debut conference with the team.
“Makapasok lang kami sa top four and kung papalarin, podium finish.”
