“I want to instil a belief in my students: believe in yourself,” says the spirited, silver-haired Philipe, who is a baseball coach, professional cultural and sports instructor, and an esports player. Even though he is already 48 years old, he remains elegant and active.We are speaking to him at his usual practice spot. “I’m like a tutor, helping students reach new heights. Whether it’s getting the right stance, pitching, batting, defense, or even basic physical training, I cover it all. The students are usually between five and 10 years old.”
