"I was fortunate to be coached from Val whilst learning to paddle until making senior team. He was a unique coach that really focussed on our holistic development, focussing on us as people before athletes. His point of difference he brought into the training environment led to it being full of joy, laughter and fun whilst keeping a competitive edge. Val generated my love for kayaking through his coaching and I couldn’t be more grateful to have the experience of training under him for two years."
Alex Zumaquero, Ocean Racing master World Champion, 2021
"A few months ago I decided to return to competitive paddling after a two-year break caused by a lack of motivation.
I decided to talk to Valentín, explaining my situation: I needed to enjoy the sea and training again, without stopping the other water and land sports that I like. I knew focusing on paddling only 6 days/week was going to be boring for me, and I would quit again, so after several conversations with him, we made a plan. Training had to be fun and progressive, mixing different activities. Honestly, the months go by without realizing that I am in a training routine with set objectives... I am very happy with the results, especially in the open sea, as I'm back winning medals on the Spanish Cup races! Gym exercises are also a great help, working on strength and endurance, as well as stretching, relaxation and breathing. Thank you Valentine!"

"Val coached me for 2 years, as part of the Queensland Academy of Sport kayaking program. He coached me from being new to the sport to medaling at a Junior World Championships. His philosophy is very much about the holistic athlete, and I reallly enjoyed being coached by him."
Jasmine Rayward, 2023 World Championship Bronze medal, K1 1000m & Ocean Racing
"I was very grateful to have had Val in my corner for the first 3 years of my paddle career. Val took me on as a young, naive junior paddler and developed me into a paddler who was competitive on a world stage within 2 years. His technical focus on paddling is unbelievable having a clear focus on each stroke and drills to improve. His training plan was designed around each athlete’s capabilities not only in paddling but for personal growth. I could not recommend Val enough if you want to take your paddling to the next level."
Alyssa Bailey, 2023 World Championship 4th, K4 500m

"J’ai eu l’opportunité de faire une semaine de stage avec Valentin pour la préparation des championnats du monde oceanracing. J'ai énormément appris dès le premier cours avec lui pour améliorer ma technique de rame. Il est à l’écoute, il sait aussi transmettre avec bienveillance son savoir et sa passion. Il a toujours un mot pour motiver et aider à se surpasser pendant les séances. Après cette semaine de travail avec lui, j’ai eu le sentiment d’avoir énormément appris et progresser. J’ai fait le choix aujourd’hui de continuer à travailler avec lui pour mes prochaines échéances internationales. Un grand merci à Valentin !
