Interview with Miquel Pietx

Hi!! Today I have been speaking with a person who is a football coach, whose name is Miquel Pietx.  He had played handball when he was a little boy, but finally he decided to quit because he wanted to be a coach.

Which football team was be the first that you train?
After I left the handball, I had an examen because I wanted to be a football coach. My first team was la U.E. Sant Quirze, in that age there was only two female football teams, the Remei and Sant Quirze.

How long did you train it?
I trained this team for eigth years.

Do you like this experience? Why?
Yes, I enjoyed a lot with the girls. They were very respected and we got big prizes of the championship.  The why I can't define it, since there are a lot of factors like  players environment, the support of the club and the support of the town.

Have you promoted an initiative for the construction of the female football teams?
No,no I never have it.  However,  I have always been near to the Catalonian federation and I have helped with the diferent questions about female football, above all with the etic topic and the difference that there are between girls and boys.

Why do you continue to train a girls team?
It's a football different from the males football and when you have built a female team you have to maintain them.

Have you trained a handball team?
Yes, of course! In fact, I have trained a mixed-team between since it's a minority sport. Nowadays, in Vic there is only a handball team.

Can you tell me a story or anecdote that you have lived?
Yes, in a match in Hospitalet de Llobregat, there weren't dressing rooms for girls and boys, and the girls got dressed in a particular garage,  and when the match finished the girls had a shower in the particular house.  Fortunately, they have 3 bathrooms.

A special race in India

Last month, two friends from St. Hipòlit de Voltregà participated and won a 1300 km race peculiar to India driving a rikshaw (also called tuc-tuc , it's a vehicle that is used as a taxi in India) .

They say that apart from winning the race, they have got considerable experience  since they have crossed a part of the India only with a map and  with a speed of 60-65 km per hour . They also said that this race is like an obstacles course, since the GPS didn't work and they crossed highly populated cities and watched the risks.

However, people helped with mechanical problems and guided them to the finish.

Movies and sports joined

Torelló presents the film festival BBVA mountain in the Cirvianum theatre.

The sessions will be linked to any sport that is on the mountain, such as climbing, slack-line, skiing, among others.

La Plana football tournament

Last week, La Plana football tournament started.

The competition consists in a match every Wednesday during the fisrt break (that lasts 20).If the macth finishes with tie, the match continues in the second snack (that last 15 minutes). If one of the teams wins in the first break, the match finishes.

The rules are simple and easy:
- Every team has to have 6 players at least, among these people a girl has to play all the match and   the other rules are like the indoor fotball.
- Every class can have 6 teams at the most.
- Everybody has to respect all the rules.

The first idea is this tournament will finish when the first term finishes. Then, the others two terms will have tournaments with different sports like volley or basketball.

FERRAN LATORRE

Hi dear readers!

How are you? I hope fantastic. Today I'm writing about climbing. The main topic today is Ferran Latorre. He's an adventurer and mountaineer from Vic. He has finally climbed the mountain Cho Oyu, next to Everest. He clilmbed 8.201 metres without nobody accompanying him.

Latorre has been able to fulfil his objective: reach the top. Two years ago, the climber had to return to base camp because there was a strong wind and storm. In that moment he wasn't alone except he was with  his team mates from the l'Unió escursionista of Vic.

Finally, I think that he's a hero and Latorre has completed his goal.
