FOSBURY FLOP

After our first conversation, the authenticity of Albert Batalla led me to define him as the “Michael Johnson of motor skills learning, training... and life”. [https://www.fosburyflop.blog/p/albert-batalla-the-art-and-science] We met again for a second conversation about the advice he would give to his younger self at the start of his journey as a coach and professor. Next, he shares his answer —in Catalan. You can also know it in English in the YouTube video of the episode [https://youtu.be/-M6wBdpf3DM].

Josep Vicenç Mestre masters the art of communication in environments that, at first glance, seem to have little in common. Next, I try to see, in Catalan, what I can learn to apply to my own context. As always, if you would like the English version, you have the YouTube video of the episode [https://youtu.be/XUq_NzBN0KE].

The great designer Miguel Milá often said that, during his years of learning, his father would repeat to him: “Be useful and you will be used.” This, I sense, is what Sergi Oliva embodies: someone who took off in Catalonia and landed in the NBA, where he has taken on roles in data analysis, strategy, assistant coach, head coach, and assistant general manager. What follows is my attempt —in Catalan— to figure out his secret. If you want it in English, head over to the YouTube video of the episode [https://youtu.be/nRWbe0LaNts].

The labels “coach”, “researcher”, “professor”, “co-designer”… fall short when it comes to describing Maricarmen Almarcha, who was born in Murcia, graduated in Barcelona, and now living in Australia. Aligned with her authenticity: last year, she published not one, but two (!) disruptive PhDs that challenge the status quo of the education field and the one of health and exercise promotion; two fields not as different as society might think. Now starts the conversation in Spanish. The English version, in the YouTube video of the episode [https://youtu.be/1y6tN7E7f3A].
