Beyond the Game: Exploring the Mind in Sport

After completing my most recent studies in Football Coaching, I’m thrilled to share that I’m beginning a new and exciting chapter — enrolling in a Master’s in Sports Psychology at the Escuela Universitaria Real Madrid – Universidad Europea.

This program marks an important step forward in my professional journey. It’s an opportunity to dive deeper into the mental and emotional side of performance — understanding how thoughts, motivation, and resilience shape success in sport. As a coach, I’ve always believed that great performance begins long before an athlete steps onto the field; it starts in the mind.

The master’s program covers a range of fascinating topics — from performance psychology, recovery, and mental training for elite athletes to leadership, young talent development, and even eSports. Each subject offers tools that go beyond tactics and technique, helping professionals like me better understand the human element that drives excellence.

Through this experience, I aim to grow not only as a coach, but as a leader and mentor — developing new approaches to motivation, communication, and team dynamics. I’m eager to bring fresh insights to my environment, share ideas, and connect with others who are passionate about the intersection of sport and psychology.

Starting this new chapter at the Real Madrid Graduate School is both an honor and a challenge — one I’m ready to embrace with full energy and curiosity.
