"First of all, we are trying to be a team and have good chemistry between everyone. Then we need to able to be a winning team, a team able to fight and compete in almost every game."

"I don't know when we will be able to win a championship. But if we work hard, the team will get better and have a greater opportunity to get the championship," he added.

Garcia had been a basketball player himself, retiring at an early stage due to a serious knee injury and becoming a coach more than two decades ago.

"[Basketball] is my life, from being a player, to assistant coach, and now head coach. For me, it's not a job, it's my passion. Every time I go to the court to be an assistant coach or head coach, I enjoy myself."

Garcia intends to inject his love and passion for basketball into the three-time WCBA winners.

"Everything I'm trying to teach them, I try to do it with passion. If you don't play basketball with enough passion, then technical matters are irrelevant."

"The most important thing is to be able and ready to fight. If you don't play with passion, then you cannot fight and make wins," Garcia commented.

"It's a young team to try to improve. It's a long way from being a winning team," the coach cautioned. "Step by step, I want to develop players and the style of the team to become a winning team, then we will be one step closer to getting the championship," he added.

"In last couple of seasons, especially last season, the team was not a winning team. They won games, but they were not the kind of team that normally won."
