Muntinlupa Cagers forward and PBA rookie aspirant John Amores acknowledged that managing his temper is an ongoing challenge.
He recognizes the need to adjust his attitude, especially because the PBA has strict rules regarding on-court violence.
“Hindi po ako magpapaka-plastik dito, dumadating pa rin po sa time na umiinit pa rin ‘yung ulo ko. Pero hindi na po ganun katulad ng dati,” Amores said in an interview with One PH’s Sa Totoo Lang.
“Alam ko sa sarili ko ano ‘yung limit ko, alam ko na rin sa sarili ko na na-work ko na siya na hanggang dito na lang, hindi ka na pwedeng lumampas diyan kung ano ‘yung pwedeng iinit ng ulo mo,” he added.
Amores stirred controversy due to his involvement in a punching incident while playing for the Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers in an NCAA game against the College of St. Benilde Blazers last year.
Currently, Amores is competing for the Cagers in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League and has managed to avoid any on-court altercations.
The 24-year-old forward revealed that studying sports psychology and undergoing anger management have been instrumental in helping him manage his temper.
“Kailangan ko po i-apply ‘yung natutunan ko dun sa mga darating na mga games ko kasi ito na ‘yung pinaka-last chance ko,” Amores said.
“Hindi na pwede mangyari sa ‘kin ‘yun nangyari dati (losing his temper and punching multiple players), lalo na sa PBA kung mapi-pick man ako,” he added.
