A Grade 11 student-athlete in Laoag, Ilocos Norte lost his life while undergoing training for an upcoming sport event.
Student-athletes are individuals who participate in organized sports while also pursuing their academic studies. Balancing the demands of athletics and academics can be challenging, but it offers numerous benefits such as promoting physical fitness, teamwork, time management skills, and discipline.
Student-athletes typically train regularly, often under the guidance of coaches, to develop their skills and improve performance in their chosen sport. They may also compete in games, matches, or tournaments representing their school or college against other teams.
Many student-athletes must juggle their training schedules with classes, homework, exams, and other academic commitments.
Most of them often undergo rigorous training regimens, and accidents unfortunately can occur despite precautions. If you or someone you know has experienced a training accident, it’s important to prioritize their well-being and seek appropriate medical attention immediately.
The victim identified as Nash dela Cruz was practicing for the long-distance track and field event for the Region 1 Athletic Association Meet when the accident happened.
According to the police, the accident took place when Cruz was training near a steel soccer goalpost. Unfortunately, the post collapsed, resulting in Cruz being struck by it.
Dela Cruz’s mother expressed her belief that someone should be held accountable for her son’s untimely demise. The university, where Cruz was likely training, has assured the police that they would assist the victim’s family.
However, as of now, there has been no official statement from the university regarding the incident.
