FORMER San Sebastian College-Recoletos head coach Tony Tan said the difficulties he encountered during his stint with the Golden Stags took a significant toll on his physical and emotional well-being, prompting him to step away and eventually speak publicly about his experience.
Tan revealed in an interview with Bilyonaryo News Channel’s The Scorecard that he lost around 40 pounds after joining San Sebastian, dropping from 198 pounds amid the stress surrounding his tenure.
He said the situation began weighing heavily on him around March as repeated delays over administrative matters continued.
“When it started, mid-March, when the president were making promises that keep saying, oh, you know, I’ll get you the revise, you know, next week, the following week, the whole month of March is done,” Tan said.
Tan said the problems continued into April, affecting his mental and emotional state.
“So I’m actually, because of my depression, my anxiety, it becomes that,” he said.
His family eventually urged him to return home and focus on his recovery, prompting Tan to remain largely silent for several months.
“And my family said, you know, enough is enough. You come home and get yourself better,” he remarked. “I wasn’t even allowed to be on any of my phone, any electronics, just to make me feel, you know, feel great about myself again.”
Despite the experience, Tan said his decision to speak publicly was not motivated by a desire to reclaim his coaching position.
“I’m not expecting to coach and I want my job. They can have my job. And I’m doing this to let everybody know this is what happened,” Tan said.
“I want to make sure the next person that really, the real coach that will take over and they won’t be mistreated like what they did to me,” he added.
Tan also broadened his concerns beyond his own situation, saying he believes instability within the program has affected the players as well.
“Somebody has to know that, you know, it’s not just for the coaches. It’s also for the students and the players,” Tan said. “You know, the last four years, there’s new coaches. And as a person, as a player, I feel like I’m degrading.”
“It’s supposed to be a great experience for the players and the students. And, you know, it’s either or not, it’s become a depression for them,” he added.
Tan’s remarks come after he previously claimed that San Sebastian blindsided him by replacing him while he was on medical leave and that he personally shouldered coaching staff salaries and other team expenses. (Adrian Co)
