As a player for Atlético de Madrid, I had the opportunity to work alongside Adolfo for four seasons. Thanks to his professionalism and dedication, my teammates and I were able to focus fully on our performance, knowing that all logistical and organizational aspects—travel, hotels, match arrangements, and any other needs—were handled perfectly. Adolfo would anticipate and resolve any situation, making things easier for both the team and the coaching staff and creating a trusting and calm environment that was reflected in the group’s results. I hope to work with him again in the future, as I am convinced that any club or project he joins will have a guarantee of success.

History

Early Life & Education

Adolfo was born in Caracas, Venezuela, and lived there until he graduated High School. During this period he was introduced into football, driving him into the sport industry.

Then, motivated to follow his dreams to be able to help others and be part of a Professional Football Club, he proceeded to move to Florida, USA where he graduated with honors from Flagler College with a double major in Sport Management & Economics.

Professional Beginnings

His beginnings in the Professional Football started right after finishing college, when he moved to Madeira, Portugal and started working for Club Sport Marítimo. During this time, he had the opportunity to be involved with the Professional Football Club (Liga Nos) where he learned the big impact and the possitive influence of the sports on young people.

Atlético de Madrid

This journey was a key factor in achieving his most recent professional experience in professional football, with an emphasis in the Academy, in one of the most success football Clubs, Atlético de Madrid, since 2016 until the 2025 summer (nine seasons).

He was involved in some of the most important achievement of Atlético de Madrid. For instance, when the Women´s First Team won for the First Time the Women´s Spanish Super Cup in 2021, he was part of the Coaching Staff.

Additionally, Adolfo was a member of the coaching staff of Ricardo Ortega & Fernando Torres, coaches of the Atlético de Madrid under-19 team, when they reached for the first team in the Club´s history all the way to the Semi-Finals of the UEFA Youth League, Season 2021-2022.

Deportes Network

Currently he is the Founder of Deportes Network (DN), an international sports management and consulting platform that connects football and education with global reach. DN was created to bridge the gap between players, clubs, and institutions to create opportunities. DN defines itself as an ecosystem of networking, consulting, and sports development. DN´s mission is to support and empower talent, generate value through personalized experiences and projects, and consolidate strong ties in the world of sports at an international level.

Present

Adolfo's story is a work in progress, as he continues to fulfill his dream of helping others in the sports and education fields, this time with his own project, the product of his entire educational and professional experience.

Professional Experience

Atletico de Madrid

Adolfo’s journey at Atlético de Madrid began in September 2016 (Season 2016-2017) and ended in July 2025 (Season 2024-2025), totaling nine (9) seasons. Adolfo was one of the founding members of the International Area of the Academy, a division created with the mission, still ongoing, of expanding the Atlético de Madrid brand worldwide through educational-sport football programs, in addition to being responsible for European competitions: UEFA Youth League (UYL) & UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL).

Adolfo worked with his team, made up of management and football staff, to build and manage the globalization of the Atlético de Madrid Academy brand, positioning it as one of the leading clubs worldwide. The development of innovative educational-sport football programs and projects, such as International and National Camps, as well as strategic alliances with other Football Clubs and Sports Entities, has provided the opportunity for more than 12,000 players from over 50 countries to train under the methodology and philosophy of the Academy, and to be part of Atlético de Madrid.

Adolfo’s skills: particularly in Networking, event organization, critical thinking, forging professional alliances, and even public speaking, earned him the Club’s trust to become the Main Contact before important football and sports governing bodies such as: UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) and ECA (European Club Association), as well as other professional football clubs. He was the Main Contact, or the bridge, between Atlético de Madrid and these institutions since 2017 (Season 2017-2018), both in Women’s Professional Football (UWCL) and Youth Football (UYL).

Another important chapter in Adolfo’s career with Atlético de Madrid was his experience with the Women’s First Team, which can be divided into two parts:
Firstly, on multiple occasions (seasons), Adolfo assisted the Women’s Sport Director in signing key players. Among them: Sari van Veenendaal (former Dutch footballer and FIFA Women’s World Cup Golden Glove 2019), Jade Moore and Toni Duggan (both English footballers).

Secondly, during the 2020-2021 season, Adolfo was part of the Women’s First Team Coaching Staff, where he worked closely with Dani González and Sánchez Vera (both head coaches at different times). Due to Adolfo’s command and fluency in Spanish and English, both the coaching staff and the players were able to improve their communication, thereby enhancing team cohesion and understanding, which resulted in winning the first-ever Spanish Women’s Super Cup in the Club’s history.

In summary, the different roles and responsibilities Adolfo held at Atlético de Madrid were:

  • Main Responsible for International Football Camps
  • Main Responsible for Atlético Experiences (team trips to Madrid)
  • Main Contact (part of the U-19 coaching staff) for the UEFA Youth League
  • Main Contact for the UEFA Women’s Champions League
  • Assistance to the Women’s First Team Sport Direction
  • Women’s First Team Coaching Staff
Deportes Network (DN)

Currently, Adolfo is the founder of Deportes Network (DN), a decision he made after almost a decade of experience at Club Atlético de Madrid. During that period, he realized that in order to continue growing as a professional and to generate a broader impact, it was the right moment to embark on his own path. With DN, Adolfo found the way to combine his knowledge and international experience to meet the needs of sports entities and, at the same time, guide and advice families and football players in their development.

Deportes Network was born with the vocation of being that bridge that brings players closer to their dreams: a platform that not only connects, but also supports, designs unique experiences, and helps transform talent into real opportunities. The essence of DN is the combination of Adolfo’s vision and a professional structure of sports consulting and management, aimed at bringing each person or institution closer to achieving their goals. Today, DN is consolidated as an international ecosystem of networking, advisory, and sports development, with the mission of empowering talent, generating value through personalized projects, and strengthening solid bonds within the sports industry worldwide.

Football

Adolfo´s main area of expertise is the Sport Management, specifically the globalization of Brands and the Organization of Events.

He has been able to stablish Football Camps Internationally and in Spain; with this knowledge and the support of the best Football Clubs like Atlético de Madrid (LaLiga), you will be able to set sport-educational programs both in your home country and in Spain. Likewise, his skills encompass all the management and information needed for the development of these programs, where football players can train and learn from the best professionals in these football clubs.

He will work closely with you in order to define the goal you are seeking, or you are needing as he will be able to identity the best strategy, partnership, and moment to act in order to accomplish such goal.

Adolfo´s ultimate goal is be able to support and guide you to achieve your dreams through sports. In other words, he will be the bridge between sport organizations and you. This is where his industry knowledge is most valuable.

Event Organization

Adolfo organizes and manages sports events from start to finish with elite European standards. After nine seasons at Atlético de Madrid, leading international expansion and European competitions, he brings a clear method: define objectives and format, plan venues and permits, build the budget, coordinate suppliers and travel, and execute field operations with risk and insurance management.

His network with clubs, institutions, and operators ensures realistic timelines and costs. Whether for tournaments, preseason tours, friendly matches, or showcases, Adolfo delivers a master plan, schedule, operational manual, on-site management, and post-event reporting. His experience in the UEFA Youth League and UEFA Women’s Champions League, successfully organizing nearly 50 official matches under UEFA standards, serves as the practical foundation he applies to your project.

Intermediation

Adolfo connects players, families, agencies, and clubs through a clear and transparent process. He aligns profiles, objectives, and markets; maps real opportunities and prioritizes decision-makers; coordinates meetings, trials, and operations (transfers/loans); and supports negotiations with basic due diligence and contractual coordination in collaboration with legal advisors.

His distinctive credential: nearly a decade representing the club before UEFA and ECA, with operational roles in the UYL and UWCL. He does not promise sporting results, but maximizes real opportunities while reducing friction and time.

Education

Adolfo´s further area of expertise is Education counseling. Sports must go hand in hand with Education. If your goal is to achieve a successful combination, then his mentoring will work in your benefit.

Sports and Education must coexist, and they must complement each other. We have heard many times that a healthy mind is a healthy life (Mens sana in corpore sano).

One of the most common paths is using sports to secure the best education possible with universities in the United States and Canada. However, this also can work the other way around, where education opens doors to top-notch sports trainings. Take Spain for example, where you can receive outstanding international education while also having the opportunity to train, develop, and be part of the Academies of the country´s top Footbal Clubs.

Adolfo´s objective is to be a beacon in the development of young athletes, either your goal is best education or best sport practice. For all of these, he is the person to reach.
