YOUR COACH/ LECTURER'S CREDENTIALS:
João Brogueira, aged 50
teacher, coach, researcher, lecturer, waterman competitor
Surfing can be an exciting and challenging activity that requires a combination of physical skills, mental focus, and knowledge of ocean conditions.
Learning to surf can also teach valuable lessons about perseverance, patience, and resilience, which can be applied to many other areas of life!
Surfing as a sport requires commitment to train and coach, and a "dream" as a source of inspiration. Most my students search friends on the same ocean waves, and improving on technical skills, as competitors, instructors, judges, even lifeguards and academic researchers.
As a teacher, I have the opportunity to help others, ocean lovers, discover their own passions and learn new skills that can enrich their lives. Whether it's teaching someone to surf or helping them master a new academic subject, my dedication and enthusiasm can make a real difference in the lives of my students.
