The Impact of Departures

Despite being the son of founder Mark Sangiao, he remains humble and does not view himself as the new face of Team Lakay. However, he is willing to take on the role if others see him as a leader of the next generation.
A Culture of Collaboration
Team Lakay prioritizes a culture of collaboration and selflessness. The athletes focus on helping each other and sharing their experiences, particularly with those who have upcoming fights. Sangiao believes that this mindset, along with the guidance of the experienced coaching staff and his father’s advice, will contribute to the gym’s continued success.
The Battle Ahead
