Denden Lazaro Expresses Gratitude to Coach Roger

“I can’t thank him enough.”

Coach Roger Gorayeb created his mark by sharing what he sees in the team, making his expectations clear, and communicating his vision on his players. That way, he is living and breathing the values he wanted to ingrain in his team.

Denden Lazaro evidently grasped all of it as she looks back on how Coach Roger gave an impact to her life, “Coach Roger has made an incredible impact in my life. Without him I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today. For whatever reason, he saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. I can’t thank him enough. Walang susuko, coach! Laban 💙”

Gorayeb was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma.

10 years ago while i was recovering from a knee injury this man made me lead a team of 5rookies and 5seniors. I don’t know what he saw. But the strengths he unlocked in me I carry til today. #AllForCoachRoger pic.twitter.com/kYsifRyat3
