New head coach LA Tenorio out to restore Magnolia’s winning tradition
LA Tenorio is embracing his new role as Magnolia's head coach, a "weird feeling" he is gradually adjusting to while aiming to instill his "never say die" spirit into the team.
Despite the unfamiliarity, Tenorio is committed to learning the ropes and acknowledges there are many areas for improvement in his coaching capacity.
Throughout his 19-year PBA career, Tenorio was known for his competitive spirit, winning eight championships and four Finals MVP awards.
He believes the "never say die" (NSD) mentality, which he cultivated during his 13 years with Barangay Ginebra, is essential for building resilience in the Magnolia team.
Tenorio emphasized that while the NSD mantra is historically associated with Ginebra, the principle of resilience is a universal value he intends to apply as a coach.
He sees his new role as a marathon and is happy for the opportunity to restore Magnolia's winning tradition, especially given the team's recent tendency to fall short in the playoffs despite strong elimination round performances.
