Grateful si Chris Tiu sa bawat pagkakataon na nakakapaglaro siya ng basketball.

Masaya ang iBilib host na si Chris Tiu na muling makapaglaro para sa kanyang high school na Xavier School sa naganap na Filipino-Chinese Inter-School 40&up league. Ayon sa host at dating basketball player, grateful siya na muling malaro ang sport na minahal niya.

“Grateful to still be able to play the sport we love and to glorify God through basketball at this age. To be able to represent our Xavier school community with the kind of atmosphere we witnessed in the finals of the Filipino-Chinese Inter School 40&up league is something special!” sabi ni Chris sa kanyang Instagram post.

Dagdag pa niya, nakakaramdam siya ng pride nang makita ang school spirit na ipinakita ng senior alumni at ng kabataan sa event.

“It was heartwarming to see them at the venue and following online,” sabi ni Chris.

Pinasalamatan din ni Chris ang Xavier community para sa kanilang suporta na naghikayat sa kanya at sa kanyang teammates na “to play hard and give everything we've got.”

Proud din si Chris sa kanyang teammates para sa effort at kung papaano umano sila nag-compete lalo na laban sa more experienced at serious na players. Paglalarawan ng host, “It was fun as always!”

Nagbigay rin ng ilang mensahe ng pasasalamat si Chris, “Thank you as well to our fellow competitors and to the league organizers. Well-organized and good competition, camaraderie and sportsmanship! To my dearest Tiunatics, thank you for always showing up … even if I wasn't playing. That was touching. Happy to see lasting friendships.”

Nag-iwan din ng mensahe si Chris para sa mga kabataang nanood sa kanilang laro at sinabing inspiring ang kanilang suporta. Hiling niya, hindi sana mawala ang passion nila para sa laro at patuloy na lumago.

“What I hope you learned from watching your kuyas and Titos is to always play with heart, to give it your all despite the odds and make no excuses. Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Bringing home a medal is a bonus, ultimately, it's how you play the game,” sabi niya.

Grateful din si Chris sa kanyang mga anak na nakapanood sa kanya mag-compete, at sinabing isa iyon sa mga rason kung bakit patuloy siyang naglalaro ng basketball.

Ani Chris, ang hamstring injury niya ay nagsisilbing paalala na walang shortcut para maging in shape kundi ang pagiging consistent, committed sa training, proper nutrition at recovery.

“That's a wrap for my second 40&up season! See you next year, God-willing,” pagtatapos ni Chris.
