MIND AND BODY IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH IRONMAN AND ENDURANCE TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN SPORT, WORK AND LIFE.

In April 2021 I began my journey together with Stefano, a bit by chance thanks to some friends who have been practicing this discipline for a few years. Right from the beginning, working with Stefano proved to be a pleasant and educational experience, not only from a sport and agonistic point of view,  but it helped me to get to know myself and my physical and mental possibilities. He is my first coach and with him I established a relationship of extreme respect and mutual trust that goes beyond the technical value.

I was already used to run when with my boyfriend we decided to try triathlon aiming at keeping fit and train as the gym was not for us. After the first triathlon sprints, we wanted to try an Olympic distance, but we needed a coach. I’ve been training with Stefano for a year and with him I managed to finish a race without feeling exhausted. Unlike other coaches he is always present and available, thanks to him I became more structured and discipline in training.

During my relationship with Stefano I’ve seen continuous improvements in my performance and mental strength making me feel better and be able to compete in both long and medium distance races. With Stefano I started working on both medium distance and then full distance ironman triathlons. Stefano is very professional, friendly and always helpful.

Stefano brought method, discipline and technical improvement, especially in swimming and running. I achieved results that were unimaginable for me. As an amateur I completed 5 sprint triathlons, since I started with Stefano I immediately moved to Olympic distances and completed 3 Ironman 70.3 with continuous performance improvement, from 6:31 hours up to the last one this year closed at 5:30 hours. A great benefit of working with Stefano has been learning how to use the energy of training to perform better in the workplace.

I finished my 6th Ironman, which is not a given for me. When I met Stefano I was limping a lot due to a series of microfractures with a definitive rupture of an ankle ligament, but I wanted to do my Ironman. Stefano has always followed me with training sessions calibrated with the results to be achieved and the resources available, constantly adapting to my personal situation, even going outside standard schemes. He has never used standard training tables found in the sacred triathlon texts. He was a true adventure companion.
