General
FUTSAL
He began playing futsal as an activity to aid his physical training for table tennis and went on to compete in the sport at club and provincial level in Argentina. "I began playing with a group of friends. As we did not have a fitness coach in table tennis, I did the physical training first in boxing and then some friends invited me to do it in futsal. I got hooked with the game and began playing around 2008. I won some titles, something that I didn't expect because I was only doing it out of passion. Then I was member of the Mendoza province team. I still like it. I cannot play it nowadays the way I would like to [speaking in 2020] because I'm competing in Europe. But whenever I return [to Argentina] I join the training group."
