WellnessDay: John Gabriel Maranan
“When I wake up the first thing I do is pray to god and why do I do that? It’s because God helps me not just as a person but especially as a basketball player by giving me strength, guidance, and the ability to stay focused. Through prayer, I find peace before games and confidence in tough moments. He teaches me humility in victory and grace in defeat, reminding me to trust His plan. When challenges arise, I lean on His wisdom to keep going and stay positive. His presence encourages me to work hard, be supportive of my teammates, and use all my talents to glorify Him on as well as off the court.”—John Gabriel Maranan
