Listen "S2 Ep3: Episode 3 - With guest Diogo Coutinho"
Episode Synopsis
This week we’re joined by Dr. Diogo Coutinho, Assistant Professor at the University of Maia Portugal and UEFA A licensed coach, known for his groundbreaking work in coaching science and small-sided games.
Diogo bridges the gap between research and practice, helping coaches design environments that challenge and inspire players. In our conversation, he reflects on the importance of growth and self-improvement: “What we should try to do is be the best version of ourselves, improving every single day. If coaches help define goals for us in every session, every player has the chance to be their best self.”
Together, we explore how this philosophy can transform the way coaches think about learning and development.
