Who I AM
Joao Tiago Santos
Since you came to 'About me' section, I could try to inspire you by telling you my success story and convince you that the same will happen to you. However in my world, it's not about me, it's all about you and how I can help you to improve and succeed, and for that, I recommend having a look at Be2XL tab. Yet, If you are still curious about who I am, here are some (more or less random) facts about my life, which can help you visualise that.
-
I am a health freak and one of my big passions is nutrition. I went from fit to obese and then to fit again, testing all possible tricks and diets on myself. Yes, I do measure my glucose levels after meals and ketone bodies on daily basis.
-
I changed the country of living twice from Portugal to Spain and then to the UK. To both of them, I came not knowing the language at all (and I still somehow survived!).
-
I was born curious, the more knowledge I can get my hands on - the better; from books, videos, journals, podcast which I consume a lot on daily basis. I ask a lot of questions, which probably makes me a good coach too.
-
New technology and advancement inspire me. If something can work faster or improve my life, I have to have it. The fact that my computer is worth five times more than my car will probably be a sufficient argument to confirm that.
-
I can grow the 30cm beard in three months, which will probably win me few beard growing competitions.
-
*FOR SPORTS FANS ONLY*: During my football career, I was managed by Jose Mourinho and one of the players I coached is now a famous Real Madrid footballer - Isco.
-
I overcame the fear of flying on the plane. Before it was bad enough that I was offered free alcohol to calm down.
-
During my cold showers, I scream louder than on rollercoasters.
All right, let's have a look at some more relevant facts:
-
I am obsessed with leadership and its impact on people's lives.
-
Improvement is my second name if something can be done easier, faster or more efficiently, it should be done that way. The same applies to people, if you can be a better version of yourself, you should.
-
Graduated with distinction from Sport Science and Coaching degree and for many years coached football players, managers and teams in globally recognised clubs.
-
Embarked on a new career (and life) journey when I moved to the UK, during which I went through variety of experience from being a waiter to become a quality manager and worked in the IT industry.
-
Having been though all this journey, meeting and hundreds of individuals, I realised what I do best and what gets me out of bed everyday is helping people reach their potential and feel fulfilled.
