About me

Technical Director

I have worked as Technical Director at the Royal Spanish Canoe Federation, and I feel very fortunate to have helped so many athletes fulfil their dreams of winning Olympic medals and World Titles. Currently, I am supporting Paddle UK’s efforts to review the sprint programme and assist the coaches.

Doctor in Psychology

I hold a PhD specialising in sport performance psychology, and I have worked as a lecturer at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).

World Champion

I was an international kayaker for over 15 years and during that time I won two World titles with my teammates.
