For over a decade, I have been working as a psychologist, helping individuals navigate the challenges of sports, business, and personal growth. My academic background in Social Psychology provided me with a deep understanding of human behavior, motivation, and group dynamics. But theory alone wasn’t enough.

From Passion to Profession

I spent nearly a decade as part of the team behind 16Personalities.com, the world’s most widely used personality test, where I honed my expertise in psychometrics and personality assessment. That experience taught me how powerful self-knowledge can be when it is made simple and accessible.Alongside my psychological work, I earned certifications as a fitness trainer, nutritionist, and specialist in recovery and transformation through the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA). This combination allowed me to see the complete picture: how psychological states directly impact physical output, and vice versa. I realized that a training plan without a mental plan is always incomplete.I completed additional professional training in Sport Psychology for Athlete Development through a Barcelona-based online program, which broadened my international perspective on applied sport psychology.

Building the Blueprint

Drawing on these experiences, I created SportPersonalities.com as a unique model for personal transformation in sports. It is founded on personality types and their individual characteristics. My approach is entirely personalized, because every body is different ; just as every mind is.
