About Me
Advantage® Instructor and Human Performance Coach based in Barcelona, Spain.
With more than 25 years of experience in competitive swimming and sports performance, Emilio brings an athlete’s and coach’s perspective to functional breathing.
His own experience in competitive swimming led him to explore how breathing can influence performance, recovery, focus and the ability to handle physical and mental stress. Over time, this interest developed into a professional focus on breathing, resilience and human performance.
Emilio completed his Oxygen Advantage® training in Málaga and has also trained in the Buteyko Method, XPT Performance Breathing and the Wim Hof Method.
He works with athletes, professionals and individuals who want to improve their breathing habits and develop practical breathing skills that can be applied to everyday life, training and performance.
His approach focuses on nasal breathing, breathing efficiency, CO₂ tolerance, respiratory control and the integration of breathing into movement and exercise. Depending on the individual, breathing practices may be used to support endurance, recovery, focus, stress management and overall performance.
Emilio combines the principles of Oxygen Advantage® with his background in competitive swimming and human performance, creating practical and progressive breathing sessions rather than treating breathing as an isolated exercise.
He works with clients in person in Barcelona and online, and teaches in Spanish, English, Portuguese and German.
