NU's Bella Belen downplays nagging back pain

NU Lady Bulldogs' Bella Belen said that she's overcoming her nagging back pain by displaying immense mental strength.

The injury limited Belen to a career-low two points against Ateneo in the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball tournament.

Belen's mindset worked well as she bounced back with 14 points, 14 receptions, and seven digs on Sunday, April 14 at the Mall of Asia Arena, where the Bulldogs defeated the defending champs De La Salle Lady Spikers, 22-25, 25-23, 25-16, 25-22.

00:00 So, you mentioned last time that you were nursing a back pain.
00:05 How are you feeling today?
00:07 Before the training, I still have it, but as a psychologist, it's all in the mind.
00:14 So when my coach asked me earlier if my back hurts, I said no.
00:22 Because I feel like the more I think about my back hurting, the more it will hinder my game.
00:27 So, as a psychologist, it's all in the mind.
00:31 And maybe because of the adrenaline, I felt the support of everyone.
00:37 Whether it hurts or not, they gave their best.
00:40 Because I'm not the only one who feels something in my body.
00:44 What do you feel?
00:46 Of course, I feel pain, but I saw that I performed well earlier.
00:50 I saw that 100% of our bodies were like that.
00:56 Thank you.
