Majoy Baron expressed her gratitude to PLDT head coach Rald Ricafort as she aims to fill the gaping hole left by Mika Reyes, who is set to miss the entire Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference due to a right shoulder injury.
Ricafort earlier stated during the PVL Media Day that he is confident the former F2 Logistics middle blocker can compensate for the absence of Reyes.
“Of course, I’m thankful sa trust ni Coach Rald (Ricafort), kasi kahit sa training pinapakita niya sa akin yun and marami akong natututunan sa kanya since iba ang approach niya sa knowledge na mayroon na ako,” said Baron.
“Marami siyang natuturo na bago and mai-aapply sa system na gusto niya. Sobrang trust ko si coach Rald kung ano ang ipapagawa niya sa akin, ano ang role niya sa akin.”
The 5-foot-11 middle blocker from Concepcion, Tarlac, joined the High-Speed Hitters during the off-season alongside fellow Cargo Movers Kianna Dy and Kim Fajardo.
Baron is well aware of the expectations surrounding her this upcoming conference. The former La Salle star said that she is ready to take on the challenge and help the High-Speed Hitters overcome obstacles.
“Of course, malaking role ang ifi-fill in ko kasi isa yun sa mga naging reason kung bakit ako nag-PLDT kasi kailangan nila ng middle dahil nga magsu-surgery si Ate Mika,” said Baron.
“May bigger role to fill in and ready lang ako kung ano ang ibigay sa akin na job ng coach kasi I trust the system, I trust the management.And kung ano man ang role na yun,” she added.
“I’m willing to step up.”
