Ollos de madeira
Que o mundo observades
Dende a vosa posición fixa
Cada un coa súa perspectiva da sociedade.
Ollos sen lingua
Fixa mirada
Xulgades a todo o que pasa
Dende a vosa visión estancada

In 2022, retracing steps with my daughters, showing them where my grandparents used to live, we stumbled upon a striking blue car, its license plate bearing my name. A whisper from the past? A nudge from destiny? In that moment, it felt like my grandparents were saying, ‘Welcome Home.’ Perhaps, amidst life’s chaos, signs offer solace, guiding us back to where we belong.
Do you believe in signs?

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: defined as a blend of translation and creativity. It's the complex process of adapting messages across languages, preserving their essence, style, and emotional resonance. Beyond translation, it crafts content that deeply connects across diverse languages through words and emotions.
In 2016, I received the request to translate the text above while maintaining the context of the Three Kings. Despite explaining that the Epiphany wasn't a celebrated tradition for us, the client insisted on this inclusion in English. Drawing from memories of school assemblies and masses, I adapted the lyrics of a familiar Christmas Carol to meet the client's specific requirements. It's fascinating how what appears as two straightforward lines to translate can unexpectedly pose a more significant challenge than tackling an entire document.
Have a magical night everyone!

I had a captivating morning in Arteixo engaging in CPD training organised by the Royal Galician Football Federation, Arteixo Council, and Atlético Arteixo. The session commenced with a touching tribute to the late on the eve of what would have been his 93rd birthday.
coach, , eloquently defined a playing style as the interactions, pursued by the coach, between players in both possession and recovery phases. He emphasized on the importance of a ‘non-verbal communication system among everyone,’ enabling the team to gain unseen advantages during the game.
Sports psychologist, highlighted the distinction between setting controllable player demands versus exerting external pressure. He emphasized working on the three Cs—control, concentration, and self-confidence—throughout the week before the upcoming game.
I personally believe that being coherent and having clear communication are important factors in effective coaching. So I liked how he explained the difference between a favour (benefitting an individual) and an exception (benefitting the team or the greater good).
finished the session showing examples of maximum demand in defensive settings and how to become more efficient.
As I said, an interesting morning indeed. ⚽️
