Mi Camino



Former amateur basketball player in minor leagues and development competitions. I was never the tallest, strongest or the most explosive; and on top of that, I always focused solely on technical skills development, neglecting physical and performance training. This ultimately led to poor athletic development and constant injuries, making it impossible to advance and get to higher levels.
After undergoing surgeries and several overuse injuries in my knees, shins, and ankles, I had to leave competitive sports and was even told that I wouldn’t be able to handle heavy loads or engage in high-intensity exercise ever again. Poor healthy habits and a lack of knowledge on how to train and manage loads prevented me from practicing the sport I always loved at the highest level.

Estudiante de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte, empecé a aprender, cuestionarme e investigar sobre rendimiento deportivo, leyendo incontables horas docenas de libros, cientos de artículos científicos, asistiendo a formaciones, simposios, cursos y aprendiendo de los mejores en este campo; al punto de convertirse en mi pasión y obsesión por llevar a jugadores y atletas a maximizar su potencial genético; de una forma inteligente minimizando contratiempos, lesiones o problemas que se lastran años e incluso carreras.
No solo ya fuera de competición he transformado mi capacidad atlética a niveles que nunca imaginaría y readaptado, sino que he conseguido mejoras y transformaciones inimaginables en atletas de todas las edades, historiales y situaciones.
