This is the value I can add as Head Coach of the141mile:
📌 It is about the science: data and performance - I am Chemical Engineer from University, so crunching and analysing data is a daily thing for me.
📌 It is about the art of communicating and connecting with the athlete - I have a diploma in Coaching & NLP, so I know how to treat people.
📌 It is about a business relationship, where the athlete pays for a service - I have a MBA degree, so I am aware of my obligations here.
