The new coach is scheduled to lead his first training session today and will be officially presented tomorrow. His arrival generates anticipation, especially due to his reputation as a basketball "genius," according to Josep María Raventós, who was his assistant coach at Fuenlabrada.
“"He is good; in fact, in South America, he has won absolutely everything, both with teams and national selections; he has an impressively long resume."
Raventós highlights not only García's tactical skills but also his role as a "great psychologist," crucial for motivating players during high-pressure moments. He is confident that his style will perfectly adapt to the team's current situation, which is looking to break a negative streak.
Strategically, García is known for adapting his method to the available roster, creating an environment where players feel comfortable and can perform at their best. His versatility allows him to implement different game paces, from fast to slow, depending on the match's needs.
The coach's rapport with players is another of his strengths, described by Raventós as "fantastic." This ability to connect with the locker room is fundamental to his success, as, according to his former collaborator, "half an hour after he's with the players, he's already done half the job."
“"Half an hour after he's with the players, he's already done half the job."
Despite the delicate situation of Gran Canaria, which is fighting to avoid relegation, Raventós believes this is an ideal challenge for García, who enjoys significant challenges. Confidence in his ability to overcome this crisis is high, hoping that his arrival will be the solution to "overcome these potholes."
