THE Philippines' golden boy Caloy Yulo is doing his share nurturing the next generation of Filipino gymnasts.
In partnership with Toyota Motor Philippines, Yulo just concluded the 'Start Your Impossible' gymnastics camp last November 15-16, at the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP) MVPSF Gym.
The two-day camp saw Yulo's commitment to giving back to the community, aiming to inspire and empower young gymnasts by providing opportunities to help them become disciplined athletes at a young age.
The 2024 Paris Olympics double gold medalist initiated the training of the young gymnasts, with the help of his coaching team led by coach Aldrin Castañeda of GAP.
This activity is part of Yulo’s project under Toyota’s global 'Start Your Impossible' program which empowers athletes not only to pursue sports excellence but also to become advocates for social good.
For Yulo, he identified championing youth development through sports training opportunities and food security as his advocacies.
Over the course of two days, 30 youngsters aged 7-16 from Metro Manila, Davao, and Cebu engaged in three intensive training sessions and activities with the coaching staff and got advice from sports nutritionist Jeanette Aro.
"I recognize my responsibility as a 'Dual Hero' — to not only compete and win but to uplift and mentor the next generation of athletes,” shared Yulo. “This gymnastics clinic we’re embarking on, along with a nutritional lecture, is a big step in this mission."
