Jorge Braz — A Biography
Born in Canada to emigrant parents, Jorge Braz was raised in the Trás-os-Montes village of Sonim, where he learned the values of community, family… and teamwork from an early age. As a young man, he aspired to be a football goalkeeper, honing his skills in the unforgiving conditions of bare-ground pitches until he joined GD Chaves, where he made it to the first team. His passion for sport led him to university, where he discovered futsal, a sport that would catapult him to success.
He became a dedicated and exemplary coach, developing rare leadership and group-management skills. A national coach since 2010, he led Portugal to victory in the European Championship in Slovenia (2018), the World Championship in Lithuania (2021), the European Championship in the Netherlands (2022), and the Intercontinental Cup in Argentina (2022).
He likes to say that, despite all that, he has lost far more times than he has won.
This book, by author Miguel Henriques, offers an unprecedented journey through the landscape of national sports biographies, focused on stories, testimonies, and examples.
