When it comes to winning, Nani Epondulan knows it all too well.
Epondulan on Friday has been named by Jose Rizal University as the newest head coach of its basketball program.A young dreamer back then, Epondulan tried his basketball luck with then Jose Rizal College in 1997 and helped the school slowly turn its fortunes around in the NCAA . His rookie and sophomore years saw them fall short of a Final Four spot, but by his junior year in 1999, which was also their hosting year, the Heavy Bombers rose.
"Medyo feel mo agad ‘yung pressure kasi maraming expectations and resulta agad, pero may process kasi. Hindi naman overnight," he added. Epondulan has his previous mentors to thank for this big break he got. He spent his JRU days under the guidance of former head coach Boy de Vera, who helped him hone his skills and develop into an MVP-caliber player.
