Letran head coach Allen Ricardo said he put premium on their mental health, which he said was the key factor in their 93-76 Game 3 win to complete a rare back-to-back titles feat.
The Squires had the previous game in their control after leading by as much as 18, but a second half collapse saw the Junior Altas carving out a tight 91-90 victory to force a sudden death.
"Talagang ‘yung talo namin sa Game 2 ay ‘di ako mapalagay as a coach eh, as a leader," Ricardo shared on Saturday. Syrex Silorio echoed Ricardo, saying their session with life coach Gi Semilla helped them regroup and move on from the previous loss, which saw him miss two crucial free throws down the stretch.
