Trail Running
My first steps in TRAIL RUNNING
A few months ago, we moved to a village located in the mountains. Fleeing a bit from the rush and the crazy life we lived
You may ask ‘And who is this girl? Well, I’m a normal girl, unique like each of you, who is passionate about sports.
My name is Natalia, I was born a few years ago in Buenos Aires, but I’ve been living in Valencia for many years now, although I’ve also lived in Galicia and Cambridge. I can’t stay still! I am always looking for new projects in which to invest my time and, above all, my illusion. I am an optimistic woman first and foremost, a mother of two girls and a sportswoman. But when I say sportswoman, I don’t mean professional sportswoman, but rather sportswoman in terms of lifestyle, way of feeling and values.
Since I was very young I started to try sports, among them swimming, skating, gymnastics, athletics, field field hockey, volleyball, tennis and padel; and from all of them I learned something, those values that can only be transmitted with it: teamwork, effort, perseverance, patience, solidarity and tenacity.
For many years, PADEL was MY sport. I have played in Argentina, Spain and later in the Valencian Community at a more or less high level, without ever considering myself a professional, but enjoying this sport very much as an amateur. It has given me so many people, moments and joys… and now I work… for which I will be eternally grateful (to paddle and my parents who have made it possible).
Although I’m still involved in padel… Since I have moved to a village in the middle of the mountains, its trails have inspired me. For that reason I am making changes in my routine and falling in love little by little with another sport: TRAIL RUNNING.
I have always studied, I like to learn new things!
I have a degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences from the University of Valencia. I also have an official Master in Nutrition and Health by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, I have the course of padel coach by the Padel Spanish Federation and LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 by the Valencian Federation of Padel.
I have worked since before starting the University as a waitress, in the family textile company, in a Sports Nutrition center; I have also been a Physical Education teacher and, for almost 15 years a padel coach. I’ve also been an event coordinator and the Valencian Delegate for the Padel Federation. Now I owned a Padel Academy and colaborate with an italian entrerprise named CAMPI DA PADEL, that builds padel dream projects.
Over the years I have been many things, but from each one I have learned, as well as with sports, to be a little better. And, above all, to enjoy what I do and ALWAYS SMILE TO LIFE!

And precisely… not the witch one. That one I guess will go faster than me. To those of you unfamiliar with the language of racing,
