Sto. Tomas, sabay na pamumunuan ang Petro Gazz at Ateneo Men’s Volleyball team

00:00 Coach Timmy Santo Tomas has led two teams already.
00:03 He is now the new head mentor of Petrogas Angels and Ateneo Men's Volleyball Team.
00:09 His specialty is leading two different groups.
00:13 Let's find out in the story of Khea Sonshon.
00:15 In the presence of Volleyball Coach Timmy Santo Tomas as the newest head mentor of Petrogas Angels,
00:22 he believes that nothing should change in his system of coaching.
00:26 Despite being 9th place, they finished in the Invitational Conference of the Premier Volleyball League last July.
00:32 It was their lowest position since their 2018 defeat.
00:38 The former assistant coach of the group of Santo Tomas replaced the position of Coach Oliver Almagro,
00:44 who is now the head of Volleyball Operations of Petrogas.
00:47 At least after that conference, we were able to pinpoint what our problems were
00:53 and what the team was lacking.
00:56 So from there, at least we know how we can address this problem going to the next conference.
01:05 Santo Tomas' head coaching duty to the two-time PTL Reinforced Conference Champion Team of Petrogas
01:11 is that he will be his head mentor as well as the head mentor of Ateneo Men's Volleyball Team.
01:17 No matter what, the work hasn't changed.
01:19 But still, it's a different scenario because you're now handling a professional team, not a collegiate.
01:25 So, it's really different.
01:28 You need to handle the players differently, you need to handle the team.
01:34 So, that's the only difference in being the head coach of the two teams.
01:42 Men's, you need to be all out.
01:44 But when it comes to women's, we need to taper it a bit.
01:49 But still, the eagerness and intensity is still there.
01:58 So, we just have to manage it a little.
02:01 From Ateneo to Petrogas, Almadro and Santo Tomas are now in tandem as coach and assistant coach.
02:09 Although their positions are different from their current position,
02:12 Coach O will still be able to follow the PTL games of Petrogas.
02:17 He'll still be there to support the team in all ways possible.
02:22 He'll still be in charge of operations.
02:26 If there are any recruits or players that need to be added to the team,
02:31 coaches or anything volleyball related when it comes to direction of Petrogas,
02:39 my coach will handle all of it.
02:41 So, most likely, he'll still be there.
02:43 So, we'll be seeing him during the games to support the girls.
02:47 Petrogas' target is to win their third PBL title in the 2nd All-Filipino Conference that will be held in October.
