Coming from a family comprising four generations of weightlifters, Hidilyn Diaz always seemed destined for the sport.Yet, at her lowest point two years ago after a series of unfortunate events -- including the loss of her coach and injury -- she almost call it quits after losing her motivation.Faced with the choice of giving it all up or buckling down and continuing to pursue her dream, Diaz chose the path of greater resistance when others might have shown less resolve.In August this year, her decision proved to be the right one when she ended Philippines 20-year Olympic medal drought by winning silver in the womens 53kg division in Rio de Janeiro.There is no doubting that Diaz has displayed tremendous perseverance, desire and resilience to achieve her goals. Sometimes, however, having faith that everything will fall into place in the end can also be crucial.I surrendered everything to God, said the 25-year-old in an interview with Inquirer. I asked him to send me the Holy Spirit so I can do what needs to be done. When God gave me the chance to compete in the Rio Olympics, I thought that He gave me the chance and I needed to give it my all.Remarkably, on that fateful Aug. 7 afternoon, Diaz had been celebrating what she initially thought was a bronze medal.She was already huddled away in a corner praying and giving thanks for the achievement when she was informed by an opposition coach that she had, in fact, finished in second place.The third time clearly proved to be the charm for Diaz, given she had twice before competed at the Olympic Games.While she may have finished second to last at Beijing 2008, she had been the youngest competitor in the 58kg category at the age of 17. Four years later, she was the flag bearer for Philippines in London, although she failed to record a score in the clean and jerk.While she now can proudly call herself an Olympic medalist, Diaz has had to overcome her fair share of resistance along her journey.In order to focus on her sporting dream, she was forced to sacrifice her studies, having initially been pursuing a computer science degree.Diaz remains the main breadwinner -- she holds the rank of airwoman first class in the Philippine Air Force -- for her family despite being the fifth of six children.Having realized her own dreams, Diaz also aims to help the next generation of aspiring athletes do the same. The Zamboanga City native planned to build a gym using the cash incentive awarded by the government for her Olympic feat.Diaz hopes eventually to become a coach herself, training, guiding and inspiring future Olympians.Bringing to them a new hope. Corn Elder Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Jarius Wright Jersey . From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. http://www.cheappanthersjerseyssale.com/ . Didier Drogba gave away the penalty that put Senegal one goal away from a major upset, but the veteran striker will get another chance -- probably his last -- at the World Cup after Salomon Kalous injury-time strike sealed the Ivorians place in Brazil next year. Cameron Artis-Payne Jersey . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. Fozzy Whittaker Jersey . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points. Fifth place Dallas and sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two. The last couple of weeks, according to Ben Duckett, have seen lots of dinners and celebrating, to the extent that he has not had a moment to pause for thought about his imminent England debut.That debut seemed closer the moment that England touched down in Bangladesh and, a couple of hours later, the team coach pulled into a Dhaka hotel under the sort of heavy security that will be a daily feature of the tour in response to a terrorist atrocity in the capital three months ago.On Friday, Duckett seems set to replace Alex Hales in the first ODI against Bangladesh. Later in the month, he will battle another newcomer, Haseeb Hameed, for the right to open with Alastair Cook in the two Test matches.The recent celebrations have been for a raft of end of season awards - from his club Northamptonshire, the Cricket Writers Club and the PCA, where he did an unprecedented double - but really they have been coming all summer.It was a remarkable season which began with an unbeaten 282 against Sussex (only rain prevented him reaching 300 and he is quick to quip that I blame the groundsman a bit, but Ill take the red ink) and which never let up: two more double-tons would follow, including 220 not out against Sri Lanka A for England Lions. There were another two Championship tons, as well as 163 against Pakistan A, a One-Day Cup century, and a starring role on Northants Finals Day fairytale in the NatWest Blast. In all, there were 2,706 reasons to celebrate.That innings against Sussex was something I didnt believe I could do in my whole career, Duckett reflected, so to start the season off like that against a good attack did give me that belief that I could score big, big hundreds. If you start badly, it can be a tough summer. But I was in good form early on and tried to continue it throughout.Continue it throughout he did, bookending his season with 208 against Kent in the penultimate game. Now, he has time to consider international cricket.Daunted does not seem to be a word in Ducketts dictionary. Being here now tops it off, he said. Hopefully people know Im a relaxed guy, and even if I am worried Ill tell myself that Im not. There are a couple of guys resting for this tour and there are available spots, but Im not expecting anything. Im on an England tour at the age of 21, Im very happy, so Ill take whatever I can get. When collecting his CWC Young Player of the Year award last week, Duckett drew laughs when he referred to that little period between 100 andd 150.dddddddddddd If it sounds like a witticism, it isnt - it is a display of Ducketts insatiable appetite for runs. The smallest of his four Championship tons was 185, and his 1338 red-ball runs were scored at a strike rate of 79.45. That is something that will not change.That sounded bad, he smiled, but a lot of people get 100 and get out, so its important to concentrate, get through that period to 150 then the pressure is off, the fielders are all out, and you can just knock it around. That period after reaching 100, bowlers see that as an opportunity as they might nick you off, and I found that if I could get away again, they would start trying to bowl against the other guy.All Ducketts achievements this summer - which are outrageous, really, for a cricketer not 22 until halfway through this tour - suggest a player to the manner born. But it really has not been that simple. It is not yet three years since he was banished from an England Under-19 tour he was captaining for poor fitness, while last summer he received a ban for drink-driving.I definitely havent made things easy for myself over the last few years. I have matured and am trying to let the cricket do the talking. These days I make sure I do all the simple things off the field - turning up on time etc. On the field, Ive just got to keep scoring runs and only positive things will be said.I was 17, 18, just finishing school going into the world of professional cricket. It was very different for me, I was in a different world from my mates who I was hanging around with, but now Im head down and focused on cricket.Northants coach David Ripley gave him an opporttunity at the top of the order whilst encouraging him to remain true to his adventurous inclindations. At times in the past Ive tried to be a player that Im not, which is why I havent been successful. This year I played with freedom. Rips told me to play my game - at times that wont come off, but when it does, cash in and that has been the main thing for me this year.And now he knows his natural game, will he adjust for the top level? Ducketts not for changing: If I do get that chance� the way I score runs is playing attackingly so I dont see why Id change to be a blocker and bat all day. There will be times that Ill need to adapt to do that, but generally Ill play the way I have played to get here.
