"I want to further develop myself as a coach and leader"

Sebastian Matamoros sees GIH's master's programme, with a specialisation in sports performance and training, as the best opportunity for his continued role as a coach.

Why have you chosen to study this programme?

– To further develop my knowledge in training and mainly performance. I am an active coach in cycling, specifically BMX, and I feel I want to further my education and learn more.

What is it like to be a student in the master's programme?

– It's very inspiring and educational to be in such an inspiring environment as GIH is. The lectures are at a high level, and it is also very rewarding to be a student alongside others who share the same ambitions in training and leadership.

What opportunities do you see with your education?

– To further develop myself as a coach and leader, and to have the opportunity to do so at GIH, I see as the absolute best opportunity for my continued role as a coach.

What are you passionate about?

– The mentees' development, both in terms of their performance and physiology, but their personal development is at least as important an aspect. I am passionate about being a part of their journey and guiding them along the way.
