About the teacher
Sport and nutrition are more than professional fields to me; they are areas where I have built my experience, leadership, and passion. With an academic background in Nutrition and extensive experience as an athlete, coach, and sports professional, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of performance from both scientific and practical perspectives.
Throughout my career, I have worked with athletes of different ages and levels, developing nutrition and training strategies, improving physical abilities, and leading teams toward shared goals. As a Head Coach, I led a staff of 18 coaches while overseeing the development and competitive preparation of young athletes. Also I have professional experience playing football for many years, having the honor to be in the National Team (2x) and being top 5 as a player in the country, and competing in BAFL (Belgian Football League).
I believe that meaningful development goes beyond physical performance. It requires discipline, communication, adaptability, and the ability to understand the person behind the athlete. I enjoy creating structured and positive environments where people can learn, improve, and challenge themselves.
My professional experience in Mexico and Belgium has strengthened my ability to adapt to different cultures, collaborate with diverse teams, and perform effectively in dynamic environments. Whether working in sports, nutrition, events, or customer service, I bring the same mindset: take responsibility, solve problems, work well with others, and continuously look for ways to improve.
What motivates me is helping people and teams reach their potential while continuing to grow, learn, and challenge myself as a professional.
