It's not surprising she notched 48 digs in a single game. Yes, 48. You read that right.
Fans cheer whenever they see Tots Carlos soar for a kill for the Creamline Cool Smashers. Or when F2 Logistics Cargo Movers libero Dawn Macandili dives on the floor for a pancake save.
The list goes on.
What they do not see is the amount of work these athletes put in day in and day out to be able to reach this level of play.
Macandili, who recently logged 48 digs in a 25-20, 30-28, 23-25, 25-22 win over the Cignal HD Spikers in the ongoing PVL Invitational Conference, showed us a glimpse of that.
An Instagram story posted by strength and conditioning coach Sonny Montalvo on Monday will only raise one’s respect to the former PVL Best Libero.
In the said story, the diminutive libero was doing a glute bridge on a barbell thrice her weight.
Look:
No wonder she’s one of the best liberos in the league today. And with the work she's been doing in the gym, she will only get better.
