A new academic year 2021-2022 begins in Sagrado, and so do three new sports coaches, all with careers that showcase excellence and a desire to train their teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axel Ortiz D\u00edaz<\/strong> will lead both the women\u2019s and men\u2019s tennis team. He has 15 years of experience and currently trains high performance athletes at the San Patricio Tennis Academy, a role he has held since his 20\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent years training young people to obtain tennis sports scholarships. Now I enter another phase, coaching them. I am leaving my comfort zone to carry out a new challenge,\u201d he said to inSagrado<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ortiz D\u00edaz hopes to be a great leader, not a boss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My goal is to create a friendly culture within the inescapable competitiveness of sports system. I want the teams to train and have -under my direction- four excellent years in their live. The goal is to win, of course, but that doesn’t take way from carrying out the job under a holistic concept. In Sagrado, they play good tennis, and we will keep going with lots of a familial warmth.”<\/p>Axel Ortiz D\u00edaz<\/strong>, Sagrado tennis coach<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The soccer team also welcomes former player and renowned Argentinian coach Andr\u00e9s Mirabelli<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTechnical direction is my thing. Let\u2019s say that being a \u2018coach\u2019 is my soul. For me, it is a source of pride to lead a college team from such a prestigious institution as Sagrado. They\u2019ve treated me so well. It\u2019s a team that\u2019s hungry for glory,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Intercollegiate Athletic League (LAI, Spanish acronym) is the most important tournament in Puerto Rico. I understand that we can have a very good result,\u201d said the former sports director of the Puerto Rican Football Federation (FPF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2009, Mirabelli has trained several schools and clubs in Puerto Rico and, additionally, served as a field assistant for the U-20 National Team in 2011. Previously, he worked as a coach in Argentina and in the U.S. state of Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Mirabelli is president, coach, and technical director of Mirabelli Soccer Academy. Rounding up the squad is Wilhelmus Caanen<\/strong>, coach of the men\u2019s basketball team at Sagrado, as well as of the Ponce Lions in the Island\u2019s National Superior Basketball league (BSN, Spanish acronym).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome and Godspeed! Let\u2019s start training, Dolphins. Sagrado believes that sports are an integral part of education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
