Playing the Course

At 24 years old, fitness coach and budding athlete Margot Caparros isn't about to let her current titles and achievements put her in a single box. Once a ballerina in her youth and now a trainer for Rebel and Casa Atletica, the Sports Science alumna from the University of the Philippines says she likes to keep an open mind while exploring a wide range of interests—a trait she credits to the unconditional support her parents have lent her through the years.

It was also their influence which led Caparros to pursue golf as more than just another hobby. She shares, “Golf is my family’s sport. Everyone knows how to play, and it started off as our bonding activity.” Having grown up playing with both young boys and girls since she was nine years old, she adds how the notion that golf is a man's game never quite bothered her. "The fact that my father introduced me to it means that he believed that there's a place for women to excel in golf and that I had the potential to do so." Caparros muses about how the activity is infinitely more than the thrills of every swing and scores on the sprawling field. It more importantly instils values like integrity, respect and perseverance throughout the highs and lows of the game. "Golf is more mental than physical. The mind is very powerful,

and you need to learn how to control your thoughts and emotions while playing on the course," she explains. "Before I start every game, I would always remind myself to play like it was my last game. This mindset pushes me to give my very best, regardless of the outcome.
