Boxing is an individual combat sport, yet the coach is an important part in this game, where he works out the emotions of each athlete and shapes the tactics and techniques to apply.
Fernando Kinguell, tri-national champion and athlete of the national team of the 90's, counting on 100 combats in his career, no longer goes to the ring to fight. Nowadays, he works with several athletes in his gym, Don Kinguell.
For many, more than a coach, Fernando is a battle partner, an example in boxing, who spreads his will to win, motivation and constant demand, as well as the words of affection which he transmits to each one.
This is a photographic essay that transports the spectator to the (in)visible struggle of a trainer.
