ANDREU ENRICH | Philosophy to coach

Andreu Enrich returns to Fosbury Flop, keeping the bar as high as he left it: connecting genuine ideas and philosophers such as Nietzsche, Heidegger, or Foucault with the figure of the coach. Now, the chapter in Catalan begins; in English, you have the YouTube video of the episode.

JAVIER CAÑADA | Training between Ulm and Cádiz

From the very first moment I read about design, I was captivated. Moholy-Nagy said that “designing is not a profession but an attitude of resourcefulness and inventiveness”. Miguel Milá, that it “consists of fulfilling a function while maintaining emotion”. Bruno Munari called it “a method centered around problem-solving”. And Don Norman stated that “the goal is to produce a great product, one that is successful, and that customers love”. I kept wondering to myself: “Doesn’t all this speak to me as a coach?” To explore this connection, I chat with Javier Cañada: someone I dare not classify into any label, adjective, or profession. The conversation is in Catalan. The English version is available in the YouTube video of the episode.

ALBERT BATALLA | Advice to a younger coaching self

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”. 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.

JOSEP VICENÇ MESTRE | Communication of giants

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. Notes of the episode Jakobson’s functions of language | Wikipedia Paraules de president.

SERGI OLIVA | The role player

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.

MARICARMEN ALMARCHA | The connectivity of training, health and school

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.
