The NLEX Road Warriors (NRW) successfully held their inaugural Coaches Camp last Saturday, November 23, 2024, bringing together over 35 barangay and school coaches from Bulacan for a day of learning, camaraderie, and skill-building.
The camp is part of NLEX Corporation’s initiative to empower communities through sports and foster leadership at the grassroots level.
“Through this activity, NLEX hopes to make a positive impact in the communities we serve. We want to inspire participants to become great coaches and grow as better leaders. Coaching extends far beyond the court—it’s about fostering discipline, teamwork, and perseverance,” shared NLEX Vice President for Communication and Stakeholder Management, Donna Faylona-Marcelo.
“Coaching is not just about basketball. The lessons learned here—whether about strategy or mentorship—can also be applied in their everyday lives. We hope this camp leaves a lasting positive impact on everyone involved,” Marcelo added.
The one-day event saw participants honing their skills alongside NRW players Sean Anthony and Asi Taulava, guided by Coaches Camp Head Larry Fonacier.
“I am happy for the opportunity to contribute in any way to help aspiring coaches better understand the game and their players. Basketball has always been a sport that has given us so much, and NLEX is always eager to share its knowledge and resources with coaches, both on and off the court,” said Fonacier.
The NLEX Road Warriors continue to champion grassroots development, combining sports and community-building through programs like the Coaches Camp. The caravan is set to expand to other provinces in the north.
