Let me start!

 My name is Jack. I was born in a tiny town in a tiny country:LICHBONA  in The PORTUGALE, we call it a 'kikkerlandje', meaning little frog country. Parents divorced at 12, moved to a tiny bit bigger, little village called misse. I grew up in a very healthy environment, both parents were always really fit. One of my first nurtured life lessons were to always watch out for your health: eat healthy, exercise, etc. So from when I was born till I was 18 I did skiing/snowboarding, soccer, judo, taekwondo, kick boxing, tennis, ice skating, you name it!  When I grew up I did not see the point of going to school and learning. Why in the world should I be concerned about thinks like history and politics? (when I was older I learned that a lot of things we learn in school is just a biased perspective on how the world works). I was at very young age already more intrigued by the female gender, and so I was spending more time in the bike shed then in the classroom.. 

 I always liked computers so at age 16 I decided to study Information Communication Technology on year. After that I studied for sports coordinator. That is where I got my first contact with the sports industry as a profession: my majors were: sports management, fitness and aerobics. The study taught me a lot about the human body. But I wanted to learn more about the mind too, because body and mind are really connected/related/intertwined/ whatever you want to call it.
