Gonçalo Santos

Hi, I’m Gonçalo, the founder of Grow Through Sports.

My journey began in competitive swimming, I practiced many sports in my teenage years and triathlon arrived a bit later to change my life completely.

Sports gave me focus, purpose, routines, great friends, and joy. I studied sports science at the Human Kinetic University in Lisbon and specialized in triathlon and swimming training.

I keep my knowledge updated in and out of the academic world as I am enrolled in a Master’s Degree in High-Performance Training and a Strength & Conditioning Post-grad course, I seek guidance and fresh performance-related ideas through many different platforms (books, articles, podcasts, and so forth) some of my favorites are linked in our learning section, if you’d like to check them out.

In my journey as a serious triathlete and swimmer, and my 10+ years of coaching athletes of all levels and age-groups, I developed a deep understanding of high-performance training and the importance of a holistic approach to health and fitness.

As a coach, I aim to aid my athletes in all aspects of their lives and inspire and empower them to reach their full potential.

Join me in this adventure, and let’s grow together through sports.
