Signed up for one. Left having done two. 🤠

What makes HYROX a real stimulus isn’t any single station — it’s producing force while your system is already deep in oxygen debt, station after station. Strength endurance under a high lactate load, with the aerobic system setting how fast you recover between efforts. In my case that’s a very good addition for Jiu-Jitsu — but transfer is never automatic. It has to be programmed around the sport that actually matters, or it just adds fatigue.
Biggest thanks to Romário Alves — yes on two weeks notice, and he brought it from the first station to the last. Couldn’t have asked for a better partner. 🤝 And to the whole crew that welcomed me in so well — you made this one special. 🙌
Would you race a hybrid event as conditioning for your main sport? 👇

A long road — and no shortcuts on it.
Blessed to work with professional athletes — and to build real relationships along the way.
But the job isn’t the highlight reel.
Long days.
Sometimes long nights.
Still, that’s what high performance asks of you.
To love the grind. 🔒

Training capacity is a trainable characteristic.
Not how much work an athlete does — how much he can handle, repeat, and still perform on top of.
Capacity is what lets the training week stay dense in March. It’s what makes a heavy block a stimulus instead of a setback. It’s why some athletes keep developing through a season while others spend it maintaining.
› More work tolerated
› Faster return to baseline
› More quality reps across the year
Capacity is built. Never assumed.

🧠 Pushing to the limit..
📈A very usual expression in the realm of training and sometimes misinterpreted.
You don’t need to always be training to your max, because other way you might not recover from the stimulus and thus not creating positive adaptations.
⚙️Nevertheless, we can’t romanticise high performance training. Athletes must train with high intensities and at least have gone through that “limit”. That is important since that way you know which are you relative intensities but also to be able to endure high intensities and volumes mentally.
🔎Physiology can’t be dissociated from mental aspects of the effort.
🎯Push, recover , push stronger, recover again and evolve- repeat indefinitely.

❓Physical fitness isn’t that simple. Or is it ?
• From one side it clearly is. You train, you rest, you evolve.
• The question is: What, how, when and how often do you train?
⚙️When physical preparation is the goal, knowledge about biomechanics and physiology dictates the prescription.
• You need to know the athlete and then prescribe according to the knowledge and experience you have.
• Strength, angles, energy systems, periodisation, among other variables are factors to take into account.
🎯One of the things I find most important is for you to really understand and allow the athlete to fully trust you as a coach so the commitment is the highest possible.
• With that comes consistency and with that comes results.

🎯 Sports success comes from humility, courage and commitment. It doesn’t come from promises, excuses or just words.
⚙️It comes from a true will and pleasure in doing the difficult stuff before enjoying the rewards from it, regardless of the circumstances.
🔗The reward is the path, is the way. Success is the way, the way is the success. There is no higher reward than the journey itself.

⚽️🏋️The pitch and the gym
🔎What an athlete does in the gym serves the purpose of the pitch.
🧠With strength training we prepare the structures to handle the demands of the game.
⚙️Every detail from long and short range strength to the various manifestations of strength are crucial for this goal if they take into account individuality and recovery principles.
📈One more year preparing athletes for a high intensity level context.
Training is a privilege not a sacrifice.
