A message from Me to You

Dear Reader,

If you're reading this, you must have been tinkering around the website! Well then, while you're here, I'd like to share a quick story of why the in10s Games exists at all. 👀

My name is Jana (or some call me 'Boo', because I am from Cebu), and I've been surrounded by sports my whole life. I grew up playing tennis, and because of this, I've had the privilege of learning about the world through games.

Practice taught me about discipline and patience.

Losing taught me about humility and grit.

Winning taught me what it feels like to believe in yourself.

And the friendships made showed me what community feels like.

All these emotions, lessons and values, learned from games!

I’ve always been fascinated by how games can do two powerful things:

First, they change us.

When you play – really play – you become someone else.

Not the version of you at work, at school, or at home.

But the version that dares, fights, and goes all in.

You become a warrior.

A fighter.

A competitor.

You come alive!

And in my opinion, everyone deserves to unleash that part of themselves that just lets loose and is different.

Second, games bring people together.

When the whistle blows or the ball is in the air, age, background, and titles fade away.

The game doesn’t care how expensive your shoes are, who coached you, or where you came from.

All it sees is a ball in play, a point to win, and a chance for you to prove yourself.

All that’s left are players, teammates, opponents.

Equals.

In a world that often feels divided, we need spaces where everyone stands on equal ground and where we can connect, compete, and simply enjoy each other's company.

That’s where this all came from: a love for the game, and what it awakens in all of us.

This is an invitation for you to Play Different and to show up not just to win, but to connect and compete with purpose.

If you've made it this far down the story, thank you! It's been a pleasure narrating this to you. 😎

I hope you stick around.

See you on the court!

- Jana
