00:05Like father, like son.
00:08Bago pa madepensahan ni E.J. Obiena ang kanyang titulo bilang hari ng men's pole vault sa Asya,
00:16nagpakitaggilas ng kanyang pinagmanahan na ama.
00:19Si Coach Emerson naka gold at silver lang naman sa mga international men's pole vault sa edad niyang 61.
00:28Let's get in the game!
00:30Sa pagtutog ni Martin, Javier.
00:37Sunod-sunod na naman ang panalo kamakailan ng pambato ng bansa sa men's pole vault competitions na si E.J.
00:45Obiena.
00:47Pero kilala niyo ba who walked so he could run and jump?
00:53Walang iba kundi ang kanyang amang si Coach Emerson Obiena,
00:57na isa rin medal-winning pole vaulter nung kanyang kabataan.
01:01First na competition ng SEA Games, I want a medal.
01:04It's a feeling.
01:05But the next SEA Games, you defend your medal.
01:09Yeah.
01:09That's where the person starts.
01:12Late 20s na siya na mag-shift sa pole vault mula sa track and field at decathlon.
01:16Libangan ko, naging passion.
01:19Dito ako nag-fit sa sport na ito and I think I enjoyed the feeling of free fall.
01:26Proof din siya na age is just a number.
01:29Tuloy siyang lumalaban at nagwagi ng isang ginto at isang silver medal sa dalawang magkaibang international competition.
01:38Ang kanyang mga tinalon, 3.6 at 3.7 meters.
01:44Pinaka-proud achievement ni Coach Emerson ang paghubog sa anak na si EJ.
01:49Masaya ako doon sa na-achieve niya ngayon.
01:52The decision niya na to follow his team.
01:55Tandang-tanda niya kung paano ito napasabak sa pole vault nung bata pa.
02:00Nung tumatalon ako, ginagaya ako.
02:02So sinubo ko.
02:02Tinahawa ko siya ng pole, tapos tinapo ko rin ganun.
02:06Aba, nagustuhan.
02:07By the age of 14, he already cleared 4 meters.
02:11What if paturo ako sa legendary coach ni EJ.
02:14Hindi tayo pwede sumapakagat doon sa mataas.
02:16So dito muna tayo, magsisimulate muna tayo nung how to ride the pole.
02:21Dominant sa top hand, yes.
02:22And then kung saan yung dominant mo, doon sa side na yun, doon ka rin dadaan.
02:27Malapat lang ng konti sa balikat, yan.
02:29Sakto na yan.
02:31And then from there, just take off.
02:35Take off with your left, drive your knee forward and then.
02:38Ah, with your leg.
02:39Yes, and then ano lang.
02:41Just hang ha.
02:42And go.
02:44Just hang.
02:45Yes, okay.
02:47This time, let's try a longer jump.
02:50You punch the pole like this.
02:52Boom.
02:53Accelerate mo siya.
02:54Kasi mas maganda yun.
02:55Mas madali siyang tatawag kung yung jump mo, samahan mo pa ng push na ganun.
03:01Yeah.
03:02Now, let's clear a crossbar.
03:07Okay.
03:08There you go, mga kapuso.
03:10We're done.
03:11Fresh off our jump ng pole vault.
03:15Sa una, medyo naka-intimidating siya kasi marami kang iniisip.
03:18Pero once you get to try it, super kaya siya.
03:22And now, it's pole vault time.
03:26Okay, coach.
03:27Ikaw na lang pala, coach.
03:28Dito kaya.
03:34I want to see pole vaulting having a very deep root dito sa bansa natin.
03:41Yung mga dati ko mga na naging hat-trick, I hope they continue by coaching the next generations.
03:48There you have it, mga kapuso.
03:50So, with every achievement he makes, Coach Emerson Oviena proves that there's no height out of reach
03:55and that he's never limited by his age.
03:59So, this has been Martin Ovier.
04:01Emerson Oviena.
04:02Keeping you in the game.
