This page has been inactive for a while and for good reason. I’d like to say that writing this was hard - but it really wasn’t. While endings can be a little sad, it’s always what lies ahead that makes it all better and all the past experiences worthwhile.
Team Fun Guys Basketball is officially ending as a group and as a youth program. All future youth activities will now be under the Utak Atleta organization as we strive to get closer to the SBP’s vision for basketball - especially grassroots basketball - in the country.
Lots of memories have been made through this group and lots of friendships formed. We’ll keep this page up forever (or as long as Facebook will let us) as a reminder of all the times we shared together.
Too many people have been involved in this group and every single person has been important to the journey. There are 5 people that stand out:
Vincent Reblando - kasama ni Ty, you guys kept me honest. Nung simula di ko naman talaga alam kung ano ginagawa ko. Ang lagi ko nalang iniisip noon, anong magiging impact ng mga desisyon ko sa inyo at paano niyo ii-interpret yung mga nakikita niyo sa buhay ko. At dahil dun nag-grow ako as a coach and as a person. Maraming salamat Teng - always try to do what’s right, kahit mahirap.
AJ Delfin and Bhie-Jhay Arcangel - my ever loyal vets. Kulang ang thank you sa supportang binigay niyo sa akin - tama man o mali mga ginawa ko. Laging may chance maging competitive ang team kapag nasa lineup kayo. Thank you.
Toni Almonte - people may criticize you (and BUPH) for a lot of things but to me, you provided me an avenue to explore coaching and what I could do with my passion for basketball beyond the confines of my corporate life. I will be thankful for that and most especially (real talk lang) the financial safety nets to keep fielding teams in your leagues while juggling sponsors’ money.
Lastly, of course Tyrone who is now also part of Utak Atleta.
On behalf of all the sponsors, and my wife Joyce, who made all our activities possible, we wish everyone who has been part of this group all the best in life. See you on the other side.
