Trisha Tubu has already proven herself early in her UAAP career, and it's going to get even better for the Adamson Lady Falcons' rising star.
The Adamson Lady Falcons have enjoyed early success in the UAAP Season 85 Women's Volleyball tournament, and one of the many reasons is super rookie Trisha Tubu.
The 5-foot-8 power hitter continues to impress in the collegiate rank, silencing and erasing unfair comments thrown at her.
In Adamson's three-set win against the Ateneo Blue Eagles, Tubu led all scorers with 23 points.
For Tubu, the formula to her unwavering confidence is simple.
"Nagsimula po ako kung paano ma-overcome 'yung ganung mindset, turning into positive, 'yung mga negative na nangyayari," she said.
"Bago po doon, inuna kong ginawa is maniwala sa sarili ko, na kaya ko, and matutuluy-tuloy ka na kapag nagtiwala ka sa sarili mo, dire-diretso na lahat, wala ka nang pakialam sa sinabsabi [ng iba].
That mantra proved to be effective as the Lady Falcons soared to a 4-1 start in the tournament. Tubu's role will only get bigger in time, and her down-to-Earth attitude will surely help as she grows into one of the best players in the scene.
"Marami kang kayang gawin na hindi nila alam kung ano 'yun, palaguin mo 'yun, pagandahin mo 'yun, kasi ayun 'yung mag-aangat sa'yo."
