Vázquez-Diz always thinks about “the next step”
The head coach of Spain’s men at the EHF Beach Handball EURO 2023 is one of the most prominent players of the past: Juan Vázquez-Diz is a three-time EURO top scorer and the 2015 MVP. This experience as a player and his work as a university teacher in Sports Science and Physical Activity make him a coach to watch in Nazaré: “High performance is always multidisciplinary.”
I try to translate what we do in the university to the court. With all the research we do, we try to give more tools to the coaches, to improve their performance. The high performance you get is multidisciplinary; you have to become bigger in your skills – psychology, nutrition, technique, physical condition.
