The Philippine Sports Commission’s (PSC) Rise Up! Shape Up! featured “Long Jump Queen of the Philippines” Elma Muros and Philippine athletics team coach Jojo Posadas as a power duo in maintaining healthy and meaningful connections in the family through sports last Saturday. 

The bemedaled athlete and winning coach are a married couple who share the task of training the youth in sports and inspiring them to pursue athletic excellence.

“Sports build interpersonal values that shape healthy relationships such as commitment, trust, and respect for self and others. They (Muros and Posadas) embody these values taught by sports in their bond,” said PSC Commissioner Celia Kiram. 

Bringing the message that athletes learn so much about themselves through sports, and even learns how to handle relationships with other people, the episode hoped to highlight that sports contribute to character formation and influences interpersonal relations. 

For the episode’s Women On Wellness segment, registered psychologist Ms. Nenuca Fe Canlas of De la Salle University, Manila discussed effective communication strategies that can help couples understand each other and converse better.

Kiram, who is in charge of women in sports, appeared in her regular segment K-Isport: Kwentong Isport talking about athletics.
