Raquel Torres
Around 10 years of experience in designing, developing and delivering successful training programs, ensuring that learning experiences are efficient, effective, fun and appealing to all athletic levels, abilities and backgrounds.
Raquel’s approach with her coaching style is to unlock people's potential to maximize their own performance, helping them to focus on the steps to get better and learn rather than teaching or telling them what’s wrong.
Since Raquel was 14 years old, because some parents asked her to coach their kids, she started coaching other kids in private pools. That vocation never stopped, even during her years in the Financial Industry Career|2003-2012| She was coaching at different pools and gyms on her days off and Saturdays.
Always with the long term goal of keeping everyone healthy and safe while having a better and happier lifestyle.
