THE PRESENTER

Luis Mesquita

My name is Luis Mesquita. I am a Portuguese Physiotherapist and Strength and Conditioning Coach. Having a BSc degree in Physiotherapy and advanced Strength & Conditioning education, I would describe myself as an athletic performance enthusiast. My academic and education background shaped my scope of practice towards the enhancement of physical qualities and reduction of injury risk within professional sports teams and athletes.

Over the last few years I had the opportunity to develop my skills in different elite sports environments, working for different sports and countries. Facing different realities, cultures and challenges made me improve not only on the scientific side of my career, but also the coaching and human skills.

I truly believe in a “learn-practice-teach” model as a key aspect of industry and career development. Fortunately, I am frequently invited as a speaker for national and international conferences, as well as lecturer for university, courses and workshops, giving me the opportunity to share my personal and professional experience with peers, which is tremendously rewarding.

Regarding professional experience, I have experience mainly by working with athletes as a Strength & Conditioning and Rehab Coach:• 2013 – 2015: FC Porto (Portugal)
• 2015 – 2016: FISIOGlobal Human Performance (Portugal)
• 2016 – 2017: Shijiazhuang Yongchang Football Club (China)

• 2018 – Today: Co-Owner of THE PEAK
• 2023 – Today: Head of Health & Performance – Leça Futebol Clube (Portugal)

In terms of relevant education, I would highlight:
BSc in Physical Therapy (Portugal)
