Ateneo Golden Knights Men's Basketball

Day 1 Ateneo Golden Knights Men’s Basketball - Team Building Activity

On the court, we compete together.
Off the court, we grow together.
Through every challenge, we stand together.

A special thank you to Sir Karl Llorin, our facilitator, for guiding us throughout the activities and creating meaningful moments that brought the team closer together.

John Constantine Claro, better known as JC Claro, proudly wore jersey #15 since he started playing basketball. As he moves forward to his college playing years, he has chosen to wear jersey #16, a meaningful tribute to Coach Don Razon, who was born on May 16, 1983, and one of the pillars of the Ateneo Basketball Program and the Bicol Universities and Colleges Athletics League.

Thank you, JC, for reminding us that wearing the Ateneo jersey is about more than representing yourself. It is about honoring the legacy, sacrifices, and values of those who came before us and helped build the program we proudly represent today.

We become the company we keep.

FIRST SUNDAY MASS | Ateneo Golden Knights

“A healthy mind in a healthy body.”

True strength is built not only through discipline and training, but also through faith, humility, and purpose.

As we begin a new chapter together, we first gather in prayer, placing God at the center of our journey as Ateneo Golden Knights.

The Ateneo Golden Knights Men’s Basketball Team extends its heartfelt appreciation to Coach JC Nuyles Head Coach of LPU Batangas and a former Golden Knight for generously sharing your knowledge, experience, and wisdom with our student athletes.

Your inspiring message reminded the team that success is built not only on talent but also on strong relationships, unwavering commitment, and the character to stay true to one another through every challenge. These valuable lessons will continue to guide our student athletes both on and off the court.

The Last day of our benchmarking program in Manila! 🧊⛸️

The journey was never just about basketball. It was about breaking walls, stepping outside our comfort zones, and discovering the value of shared experiences beyond the game.

Through simple moments of laughter, activities, and conversations, we built stronger bonds as one team. These experiences reminded us that the strongest connections are often formed in the simplest joys.

We came here to learn, and we leave with more than just knowledge, we left with memories, friendships, and experiences that will stay with us long after the final whistle.

A special thank you as well for the warm hospitality and generosity of a long-time family friend and valued acquaintance. We are truly grateful for your kindness and support, which made our fifth day in Manila even more memorable.

Day 4 of our Benchmarking Program here in Manila!

Growth comes from stepping outside our comfort zone, embracing every challenge, and learning from every opportunity. Our benchmarking program here in Manila is more than just a series of games, it's a chance to measure ourselves against some of the Philippines' premier basketball programs, build character, strengthen our chemistry, and raise our standard of play.

A heartfelt thank you to Coach Noli Ayo, Coach Sandy Arespacochaga and Coach Bacon Austria for their warm welcome and outstanding hospitality. We truly appreciate the opportunity to compete, build friendships, and share our passion for the game. One Big Fight! 💙💛⚔️
