I began training and coaching beach volley last year. The idea came into my mind while I was watching the beach volley tournament of my girlfriend job and many participants were complaining about the different level of the teams.

Last but not least, is the contribution that this activity is giving to my personal and professional development: the improvement in “coaching” skills. I have found it very beneficial on my daily job, dealing with the
