Tots Carlos downplays personal best, stays focused on Creamline’s title defense


Tots Carlos is quickly shifting her focus to Creamline’s next assignments following her career-best performance in the Cool Smashers’ closely contested four-set victory over Akari in the 2024 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference.

Carlos scored 31 points with a 55-percent attack rate in the 25-22, 21-25, 25-22, 25-19 victory over the Chargers on Thursday at the Philsports Arena.

The three-time PVL MVP, however, is not placing too much emphasis on her personal-best outing as she remains laser-focused on the Cool Smashers’ title defense against an improved PVL field.

Every time na matapos namin ‘yung isang laro, natapos na ‘yung trabaho, mindset na kami into the next game,” said Carlos after the game.

Carlos also deflected the credit to her teammates and coaches, who she believes are responsible for her 31-point outing.

“Hindi naman lahat ng games pare-pareho ‘yung sitwasyon. So ‘yun, ready lang naman kami palagi eh. Wala namang kaso sa amin kung sino’ng nakaka-score, sinong hindi. Tulong-tulong ‘yan. Kaya lang nakaka-score ‘yung isang player dahil sa tulong ng mga teammates namin,” said the former UP star.

After putting up her best performance in the pros, the 25-year-old opposite spiker shared that she is still eager to learn and is finding ways to improve and become a better version of herself.

Pero ‘yun nga, dahil nga sa mga tulong ng mga coaches, kasi grabe talaga ‘yung suporta ng mga teammates ko saka ng mga coaches, na walang pressure, training lang lagi, so ako naman, lagi lang akong–gusto ko lang natututo ako palagi sa lahat ng games,” said Carlos.

“Hindi lang naman dumadaan lang ‘yung games. Personally, may mga natutunan din naman ako sa mga ganitong sitwasyon, ano’ng gagawin. So ‘yon, honestly, gusto ko pang matuto pa. ‘Yun po.”
