“I think it’s really a mental challenge also coming in, knowing I’m not getting any younger and that I had my injury just recently, so I have to really take care of my body also,” says Alyssa Valdez after her triumphant PVL return. PVL2023
As such, her return to full-time volleyball only yielded modest results: 3 points and 10 excellent digs in an eventual sweep of retooled rival Chery Tiggo.
“It’s quite different, really, since this is the longest that I’ve never played volleyball in my life, seven months,” she said in a mix of English and Filipino after the game. “They keep reminding me to not rush anything and that I really have to trust the process one step at a time.” As Valdez got her game legs under her, it was fellow three-time MVP Tots Carlos and Jema Galanza who picked up the slack, dropping 24 and 12 points respectively to carry the vaunted Creamline offense to a statement blanking of the Crossovers.
“If I’m fielded, I need to give it my all so I can help the team. Hopefully, I get the feel of the volleyball court again and I can’t wait to get my game smooth and fluid with my teammates,” she continued.
