About me
As the head of sport science at Alba Sport Club, I lead a team of experts who apply the latest scientific knowledge and methods to enhance the physical and mental performance, health, and well-being of our athletes. I have a PhD in kinesiology and over four years of experience as an associate professor at two prestigious faculties of kinesiology, where I teach and research topics such as fitness, kinesitherapy, and biomechanics.
I am passionate about bridging the gap between theory and practice, and using evidence-based approaches to optimize training, recovery, injury prevention, and nutrition for our players. I am also innovative and proactive, always seeking to learn new skills and introduce new technologies and tools to improve our sport science services. My goal is to achieve excellence and success on the national and international level, while also advancing the field of sport science and contributing to the wider community.

Head of sports science department
In my role as Head of the Sports Science Department, I have led the physical performance strategy for elite-level athletes across first league football, handball, and basketball. My responsibilities include the systematic monitoring, testing, and interpretation of performance data to drive individualized, sport-specific conditioning plans. I design and manage both short- and long-term physical development programs, aligned with the competitive calendar and performance goals of each team. A significant emphasis is placed on injury prevention, where I implement proactive strategies grounded in current sports science to reduce risk and optimize player availability. This role demands consistent collaboration with coaches, medical teams, and performance staff to ensure an integrated and high-performing team environment.
