Since I can remember I've been riding a bike and from 12 years old until my second year of U23 I competed in Portugal an Spain. I left the competition to follow the academic pathway.
Besides from Portuguese I speak to languages fluently (English and Spanish).
I've a BSc in Sports Science, a Master in High Performance of Ciclical Sports from University of Murcia where I could learn with some of the best coaches from Pro/World Tour Teams and from XCO WC Teams, and I'm now taking another Master also in High Performance Training at the University of Lisbon. After that I would like to keep progressing on my academic pathway.
I'm a coach that always tries to keep up with the scientific community but that also knows that things are not always the simple and straight forward, so I try to have a practical/scientifical approach to my training methodology.
I've now been coaching for already 3 years, and during this time, alongside with the athletes I coach we manage to obtain some relevant results (+15 1st places; +5 2nd places; +30 top 10 results) at national championship's, national cups and other important races along the way.
I like to work seriously, with athletes that are focused on reaching their best and accomplishing the training programs that are planned.
