    Eduardo Tega - Brazil

    At an early age, Eduardo Conde Tega was already showing signs that the ball would be an inseparable companion throughout his life. In the region where he grew up in Jundiaí, São Paulo, he had the opportunity to chase the ball in different weights, colors and sizes throughout the urban city and fields. In this way Eduardo merged this "natural learning ", based in the "pedagogy of the street" with participating in the football club in the city, expanding his repertoire of skills and technical gestures. As a child, he already stood out from other kids in the same age. For over 15 years, he was an athlete in football - from grassroots to high performance - through traditional clubs in the training of athletes. Eduardo competed in national and international championships, played overseas, met different cultures and, especially, made many friends through the ball. With a degree in Physical Education and Bachelor of Business Administration with Post Graduate in Business Administration and Marketing of Football in ‘ESPM’ (Sao Paulo), he is part of the GEF - Group for Research and Football Unicamp and is the author of the blog Caderno de Campo. Currently, Eduardo is the Executive Director of Universidade do Futebol in Brazil.
