Coaches are accountable to the well-being of their teams and must be encouraging and motivating to their players.

Barangay Ginebra coach Tim Cone said this after sharing his philosophies coaching winning teams during a webinar hosted by insurance company Manulife last Wednesday

"As a coach, I am accountable to all that happens in my team. My role is to make sure that I am clear about our goals and help my players build habits to achieve these,” said Cone.

Speaking from the experience he gained from coaching numerous Philippine Basketball Association teams, Cone was one of the main speakers in the webinar entitled,“The Champion Within.”

The webinar was to held to inspire Filipinos in having a winning mindset amid the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Assistant coach Richard del Rosario and LA Tenorio, the Gin Kings' point guard, joined Cone in the session.

Cone, who has been involved in 22 title wins in the PBA since 1989, said that leadership needs to develop a “never die spirit,”

“Leaders need to learn to encourage themselves and the people around them to stay motivated, be consistent, and develop that ‘never say die’ spirit to achieve their goals," stated Cone.

On the other hand, Del Rosario talked about openness, accepting change that happens along the way.

“Being porous means being open to change and accepting that these changes will enter your life,” said Del Rosario.

Tenorio stressed the importance of teamwork and respecting others.

“As a leader and as a player, it is important to remain humble and see the value of each of our team members, so we can stay focused and motivated on our goals,” said Tenorio.

Melissa Henson, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer of Manulife Philippines, said sports can teach people meaningful lessons about dealing with failure and challenges.

“We partnered with members of the Barangay Ginebra team, one of the most storied teams in Philippine basketball history, because we believe in the power of sports and its ability to teach us meaningful lessons about dealing with failure and challenges, getting back up again, improving yourself, and collaborating with others,” said Henson.
