I'm a strong proponent of scientific knowledge and advancement but i have above all else a strong practical component. Its not the data that you collect, it's how you use it that matters. Having worked literally with hundreds of athletes, I'm very apt at modulating training prescription to ensure safe and maximum long term development. I also believe our main focus as performance coaches should be on athlete education other than simply prescribing training.Worked in many different sports in many different contexts, both amateur and professional (international and Olympic level), both youth and senior.Have the pleasure to be an invited lecturer at the Faculty of Human Kinetics (University of Lisbon).Co-founded my own sports performance company: in which we provide for individual athletes, sports clubs, and we've also created very successful performance training online courses.Published 2 scientific articles and the chapter of a book on physical performance used as the basis for a post-grad course on s&c in our uni.I'm familiar with the latest technology (velocity based training, GPS analysis, database analysis etc). My company owns most of this equipment, which we use on a regular basis.I'm Portuguese, but I'm fluent in English, and i get by in French and Mandarin (worked in China for 3years).
