After Thirdy Ravena and Ken Tuffin, another collegiate standout takes the international route but this time it’s from the women’s side.

About a month ago, former National University Lady Bulldog and national team player Jack Animam made the announcement to go overseas. She is set to play for Shih Hsin University, becoming the first Filipina to play as an import in Taiwan.

Although she’s leaving her home for more than six years, Animam said she’s satisfied with her decision. “Masaya ako and super excited kasi hindi naman araw-araw may ganitong opportunity,” she said. Before Animam, longtime NU and national teammate Afril Bernardino had also experienced playing in another country.

“Wala kang kayang gawin kung hindi lakasan lang ang loob mo, and tanggapin lahat ng challenges na darating sa iyo.” “Noong unang dating ko du’n, nakakapagod. As in sobrang layo. ’Yung time, ‘yung language nila, ‘yung strategy nila magturo. Actually maganda naman ’yung tinuturo nila, kasi meron silang translator du’n. Nagkakaintindihan kami. ’Yung sa teammates ko, hindi sila masyado nakakapagsalita ng English, so kailangan mag-adjust,” Bernardino said.

“Mas feel ko pa na sobrang hyper ko after practice. So medyo late na ako natutulog. Gumigising ako mga lunch na. Bumaliktad ’yung time ko du’n.”
