SportsMedTraining is born

It's taken over 16 years in the field of sports medicine and teaching to formulate a project that integrates everything I've wanted to practice in my professional life. Perhaps it was the book "The Pathless Path" by Paul Millerd that finally led me to launch an idea that had been building for some time, but was overdue to be realized as I wanted. Finally, all the necessary ingredients and circumstances combined to turn the dream into reality. Today, SportsMedTraining is born, a digital platform specialized in online training and consulting in sports medicine, exercise physiology, and exercise & sports science.

The idea is to go beyond the classroom, where every semester I could be training and educating in person almost 200 students linked to the areas of health, physical activity, exercise, and/or sports, and to be able to cross borders, reaching thousands of people remotely. There are many individuals who do not have easy access to knowledge in these previously mentioned areas. And those who do often fail to understand the information conveyed to them, usually because of the way it's transmitted.

The impact that knowledge related to exercise physiology can have on health is invaluable. If the entire world knew the physiology of how physical activity can prevent and treat multiple diseases, we would have a healthier, more active population, and the costs in medical care would noticeably decrease. On the other hand, if trainers and athletes knew physiologically how to further optimize their sports performance, the sports industry could be boosted to unimaginable levels.

SportsMedTraining integrates science, teaching, and research into an educational digital platform that aims to impact the areas of health, exercise, and sport. I hope this initiative can leave a mark on the world. I will travel this "pathless path", a more creative, personal, and meaningful path than the conventional one. "I want to inspire you to dream a little bit bigger, add some nuance to how you think about life decisions, and give you models and ideas that might enable you to embrace the spirit of the pathless path” (Millerd, 2022).

“…if your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all” (Anna Quindlen)"
