Tots says team goals matter more than individual awards at Creamline




December 24 ------ IN two years as a leading figure of Creamline's unrivaled offense, three-time conference MVP and first-time Finals MVP Tots Carlos further sharpened what was already a rock-solid roster and arguably the league's best. And in the Cool Smashers' record-extending seventh PVL championship, Carlos was joined by Michele Gumabao (best opposite spiker), Pangs Panaga (best middle blocker), and Jema Galanza (2nd best outside spiker) among the league's top performing aces. 

  

Carlos, however, made it clear how not one Creamline player through the years actively aimed to win such individual accolades. Because for the PVL's most decorated club to date, only one prize matters. "Wala sa'min talagang iniisip 'yung mga individual (awards), more on sa team talaga. Kung ano mapunta sa'yo, gagawan mo ng paraan para sa team. Kung pangit 'yung bolang pumunta sa'yo, papagandahin mo para sa team. So I think 'yung effort pa rin ng buong team 'yung nandoon," Carlos said. 

  

Moreover, Carlos pointed out how Creamline's winning culture through the years has long been built on the squad's composure — one strengthened by the unwavering trust of their veteran mentors. "'Yung (mahalaga) sa'min, 'yung suporta ni Coach (Sherwin Meneses) at 'yung composure ng team na kahit bigat na bigat na kami sa sarili namin, may tiwala pa rin siya at hindi siya sumuko sa'min. 'Yun din 'yung pinaka gusto ko rin (sa Creamline) na hindi namin sinusukuan ang isa't-isa kahit ano pang mabigay na bola at kahit ano pang dumating. "Pero 'yung ganitong moments, hindi mo alam kung kailan mauulit, hindi mo alam kung kailan mauulit na sila parin yung kasama mo. So very grateful talaga kami sa lahat ng nangyari (this conference)," said Carlos.
