[HOMESTRETCH] Familiar game, foreign courts: Thirdy Ravena’s heart for basketball

People know Thirdy as one of the Ravenas in the world of sports, but, in this interview, we get to see why this Ravena is so much more than his DNA

From three iconic championships in the UAAP, to Japan’s B-League, to playing for Dubai in the Euro League, Thirdy Ravena’s basketball journey has taken him to places across the world.

In this episode, show host Pató Gregorio catches up with Ravena as he once again suits up and represents the nation and flag at the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand — and helps win the gold in men’s basketball.

We listen to Ravena’s experiences in playing for the Euro League, and the learning, unlearning, and relearning he went through. Ravena tells us it is being unafraid to make mistakes – more than strength and more than fame — that builds the instinct of a champion.

Homestretch aims to tell the stories of people who inspire us with their struggles and triumphs, and the places that help define our spirit as a nation.
