On another level, the PSF also guides its athletes throughout their career. Take the story of Asa Miller, a 17 year-old Fil-Am who has recently qualified to join the PyeongChang Olympics. He contacted the PSF early 2016 showing intentions of joining the Philippine Team. Since then, he joined five major competitions: in Canada, USA, and thrice in New Zealand, wherein he collected enough points to send him to this year’s Winter Olympics. Out of the 110 entries in PyeongChang, he was initially placed 104th. He obtained a decent ranking of 70th at the end of the competition. After seeing that out of the 69 athletes ahead of him, mostly were well-experienced skiers and only one had the same age, Apelar is confident that Miller could only get better in future tournaments. As his event concluded, Miller said in a text, “I am very proud to represent our country, and am happy to finish my race! I’m very thankful for all the support! I hope that my actions act as inspiration for others to achieve their dreams. Mabuhay!”
