A coach named Tito saw him and recruited him. After three months of training, he was able to lift 100 kilograms and was able to become the local champion in Castilla and León.[1] He is a Spanish champion in the sport.[2] Later, he took a course to become trained as a coach and trained ten weightlifters for three years.[1] He has been described as the best powerlifting coach in Spain.[3]
