Hello! My name is João Alves, and I’m a Portuguese strength and conditioning coach in Sporting Clube de Braga. I have over 10 years of experience helping athletes become faster, better, stronger (yes, I am quoting Black Eyed Peas).

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Science, a Master’s in High-Performance Training, a Postgraduate specialization in Exercise and Sports Medicine Rehabilitation, and a certification in Strength Training: From Rehabilitation to Performance from Barça Innovation Hub – Universitas. I’m passionate about creating training programs tailored to each athlete’s needs, always keeping in mind the importance of balancing hard work and recovery.

In my free time, I love playing football with friends and watching movies. Any Lord of the Rings fans out there?
