João Dias
Coach
Since a very young age, sports have been a part of my life. I learned that sports and physical activity, combined with a healthy lifestyle, contribute to improving both physical and mental well-being.Each of us has our personal goals, but I firmly believe that as a team, we become stronger and the journey becomes easier.
My mission at ENDURANCE LAB is to contribute to the promotion and development of sports participation across various areas.
