Jaz Ellarina's Journey From Opposite Spiker to Thriving Middle Blocker in FEU

As Jaz Ellarina transitioned from playing as an opposite spiker for the NU Lady Bulldogs to a middle blocker for the FEU Lady Tamaraws, she discovered a new side of her game. Her journey has been marked by growth, confidence-building, and a testament to the importance of trust, support, and hard work.

Ellarina's initial transition from wing spiker to middle blocker was not without its challenges, but her confidence soared when she was inserted in the third and fourth sets during FEU's Season 87 opening win over UST. Her six points, including three crucial hits that contributed to their 4-1 run, demonstrated her remarkable progress as a player.

At the heart of Ellarina's success is the trust her teammates and coaches have placed in her. This unwavering support has enabled her to overcome self-doubt and deliver her best performance on the court.

Having the entire team trust me so much takes away my doubts, Ellarina explains. I just surrender my doubts and give my best to perform well with the help of each one of us.

The trust she has built with her teammates has been instrumental in helping Ellarina navigate her transition from NU to FEU, as well as adapting to a new position on the court.

My journey hasn't been easy, but their trust made it a rather smooth transition for me, she says. They entrusted me with a difficult role, and their trust is what made my journey beautiful.

Ellarina's teammates have also played a vital role in her growth, with seniors Faida Bakanke, Gerzy Petallo, Jean Asis, and Chen Tagaod contributing significantly to the team's win, serving as valuable examples for Ellarina to follow.

It's a huge boost for my self-confidence and self-esteem, she says. When I see my teammates scoring and contributing, it makes me eager that if they can do it, why can't I? Their example gives me confidence and motivation to contribute.

As Ellarina continues to grow as a player, her journey serves as a testament to the power of trust, support, and hard work. With her newfound confidence, she is poised to shape the future of FEU volleyball.
