Basketball is not just all fun and games.

 Beyond what ballers do on the court lie their own personal struggles.

 Because of that, Terrafirma star Terrence Romeo aims for relaxation once he hangs up his jersey in the PBA, but he will definitely still be around the sport, which, as he said, he has dedicated his life to.

 Find out more as Romeo shares his Bucket List with One Sports.

 

One Sports: Do you have a lifetime bucket list or anything that you would want to do or experience after basketball?

 Terrence Romeo: After basketball, gusto ko lang tumira sa beach. May rest house ako sa beach at tumira doon kasama ang family ko. Eventually, gusto ko ring maging coach someday at mag-travel after kong mag-basketball. 'Yan 'yung mga main dreams ko, mga nasa bucket list kong gusto kong matupad after kong mag-basketball.

 OS: Why do you choose to live by the beach?

 Terrence: For me kasi, marami kasing nangyari sa life ko. Ang nakikita lang kasi ng mga tao is how you struggle sa court and, sometimes, how you perform nang maayos sa court. Pero hindi nila alam 'yung mental health ng mga players. Kaniya-kaniya 'yang mga players na mayroong mga pinagdadaanan sa life. Mayroong mga battles sa life 'yan.

 So for me, pagkatapos ko ng basketball, I think, gusto ko namang mag-relax. Kumbaga ma-relax ang sarili ko, ma-relax 'yung mind ko. Kasi simula pagkabata ko, grabe na ang dedication ko sa basketball. Grabe ang sacrifice na ginawa ko para sa basketball.

 OS: Peace and quiet, you mean?

 Terrence: Yes, yes, with my family. Kung sino man 'yung magiging future family ko.

 OS: Is there anything on your bucket list that you would want to achieve this year?

 Terrence: Within the year, siguro para na lang sa career ko. Hopefully, this year, maging maayos 'yung career ko. Maging maayos kung saan ako mapadpad. And kapag naging maayos 'yun, magiging maayos din ang family ko.
