Profile as a Football Coach

Football coach and sports manager with over 10 years of experience in the game.

Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to developing and managing teams, always focused on improving both the physical performance and personal growth of each player.

Role as a Coach

My work begins with a deep analysis of each player, evaluating their needs and obstacles to create a personalized training plan.

Strategic planning and implementation are essential, but they are always accompanied by monitoring, evaluation, and constant adjustments to ensure the growth of each athlete.

Work Philosophy

I believe in the importance of being straightforward, honest, and motivating. Self-criticism allows me to continue learning and improving, always with the goal of maintaining good communication with my players.

To me, leadership means recognizing strengths and weaknesses, both my own and those of the team, and working together to improve every day.

Training and Education

In the field of football, I have had the opportunity to participate in various training programs that integrate advancements in science and technology. Among my training highlights, I emphasize the course on strategic planning in sports organizations, led by Felipe Garrido Pascual in Spain, and the technical training for Pre-13 to U18 players to enhance their positioning and the development of a playing system, taught by Pierre Sarratia, a French coach who has enriched my perspective on the sport.

I have attended enriching talks with prominent professionals such as Óscar Washington Tabárez, coach of the national team; Juan Ramón Carrasco, during a seminar held in Uruguay; Gustavo Ferrín, where I delved into youth football in Uruguay; and presentations by Diego Alonso, former coach of the Uruguayan national team. Additionally, I have participated in training sessions at Club Atlético Peñarol and Club Atlético River Plate, where topics such as regenerative medicine and nutrition in sports were discussed.

My commitment to continuous learning is also reflected in my participation in online talks and in the Conmebol Evolution Program for youth football. I hold the title of Sports Manager awarded by the Christian Association of Young People and the PRO coaching license granted by FIFA.

I have assisted in conferences on science and technology applied to football and hold several certificates in methodologies and strategic planning. Furthermore, I have participated in videoconferences with experts like Reinaldo Rueda and César Farías, where we explored challenges and strategies in contemporary football.
