Ariana Markey Part 2 | “I Want This PK” 🇵🇭 Clutch Moment & Filipinas Journey

#arianamarkey #filipinas #cleatsandsneaks In Part 2 of this Cleats & Sneaks interview, Philippines Women’s National Team (Filipinas) player Ariana Markey reflects on one of the biggest moments of her career — making a penalty in her team's 6-5 shootout win over Vietnam to win gold at the 2025 Southeast Asian Games. “Absolutely, I want to take this PK. It was about stepping up in the moment.” Ariana shares how self-talk helped her stay locked in under pressure, why she believes athletes have to be a bit delusional, and how confidence and humility go hand in hand. She also opens up about her faith, reciting: “I can do all things through He who strengthens me,” a verse she carries with her on the field.
