Former Ateneo stars Isaac Go and Ange Kouame, the Ateneo women’s basketball team, and Girls Got Game help children with special needs grow their love for the sport.
MANILA, Philippines – Ateneo basketball players showed that the sport is greater than their achievements as they recently volunteered in a training camp for children from Autism Society Philippines at the San Jose Seminary in Ateneo de Manila University.
“That’s why I purposely brought these girls, so they realize early on that there are these other groups that they can engage with and enjoy basketball in other ways.” “I think that was a good experience for me and the whole team because we were able to expand our environment with our coaching styles and I’m also very grateful to help kids like that,” said Joson.
“What’s nice is that from watching basketball, he’ll try to copy the moves and do it on his own, especially the celebrations. He tries to copy the celebrations in the NBA which are crazy.”
