Inspiration

display case of Ateneo Sports Hall of Fame awardee Matthew Gaston Every three years, the Ateneo de Manila University awards alumni who excelled in sports during their school days. They are inducted into the Ateneo Sports Hall of Fame, which has a room named after it in the Moro Lorenzo Sports Center. Some awardees donated their sports memorabilia—medals, trophies, jackets and jerseys—which are displayed in cases with their photo and a write-up of their sports accomplishments. Aside from recognizing the men and women who played for the school, the award, the room, and the displays also aim to inspire current student-athletes who train at the center to excel in their own sports.

I am a sports fan, so I like the idea of honoring the players who were the very best in their sports. This young man has a great smile.

That's nice and I have nothing against this kind of recognition, but I can't help wonder if there is also an Ateneo Academic Hall of Fame, which is vastly more important in my opinion. But academics don't bring the alumni money. Darn. :)
