This week in The sport We close the season to the literary section of Marcos Pereda, You before movingcon Miguel Quintana and his book Diary of a sports journalist in which he reviews his career in which he could be the best profession in the world. “Could be better treated But I think it is the best profession in the world, tell the things that happen, analyze them, test them and, above all, what we do a lot in this program, tell stories, tell stories that grind. It is beautiful to accompany the people who listen. It is very nice because you are part of their life, although you do not know them, they feel that you are there and it seems beautiful to me. What happens is that the conditions we usually have to develop that profession are far from being idyllic, and I think that is also important and that is also what I wanted to reflect in the book. “
Miguel Quintana decided to start writing in after the presentation of Felipe del Campo's book because he realized that his generation did not have that 'survival manual for millennial journalists'. “I think it is sometimes important to talk about how bad everything is when you do well, because that legitimizes it“.
Miguel Quintana Analyzes from his own experience the journalist's trade through all the stages he has lived until he reaches THE QUINTANA PINTA In Radio Marca but also explores how this dizzying profession influences people's lives, especially in terms of family reconciliation chapter that closes the book. “When I made the decision to leave the Post the Dazn For my fatherhood, I told it because I like to give visibility to these issues because they seem important to me and because I have found many opinions within the profession. But me I want to be a present fatherI want to help my wife, it is a life project of the two, not only of it in one area and mine in another. But then, speaking with a friend, he told me: Be careful, because What you have done is still what many women do. That is, either unicorn here either, because it is not that. And it's true. What I think seems important to me is that if we also work in conciliation, if we also be an active part of that fatherhood, you will cost you less and you will have to reconcile less. Because this is a team work, where not everything has to be 50/50, but where everything has to add 100%. And to me being a father has changed me, but I think nothing compared to how my wife has changed. It is true that leaving a job in the journalism industry gives vertigo and that although I do very well, I am still autonomous and I feel many times insecure and helpless, but there are times that you have to prioritize and if I have something clear in life they are the priorities. “

Marcos Pereda He asked him if after paternity he continues to see the 380 league games. “No, this year I have not seen the 380, I calculate that I will have seen 340, 350You can't talk about many teams without seeing them. So, I prefer to see them. “
In this sense, Miguel Quintana highlighted the need to be rigorous with work. “It is known to have seen them, see how their season is going, what stand out, because if not, when you then analyze Madrid-Betis, if Betis wins, it will be because Madrid played badly, not because of the virtues of Betis. And this is what I think is pernicious of how all that structure or that analysis of the league has been developed from Madrid, Barça and sometimes Atleti.”
The director of THE QUINTANA PINTA He also told us about his passion for sports since childhood and that this passion took him almost inertia to sports journalism although in his program there are almost no sports issues. “Absolutely. And it is something that I have there, what happens is that I think I cannot do it with what we are currently. Because when I see other sports I do it because I like it but to talk about them I have I try not only to see it, but to add value, and that demands a lot of dedication. The way you have The board To touch the themes, we cannot put both sportsmen as I would like, but it is a pending subject that I have“.
