A growing season for the Apulia Trani U15s which coach Dina Manzi looks back on like this: “We didn’t expect to get this far. We worked a lot on the group and the results showed. It’s a shame about the defeats suffered in the triangular tournament but yes he also grows with the knockouts. We were interested in creating a good group and we succeeded.”
TEAMMATES: “Some U17 athletes were part of the first team. I coached them when they were little and now I have found them as teammates. This is a beautiful thing.”
TECHNICAL STAFF: “I get along very well with everyone. The Abruzzese coach is not a colleague but a younger brother. There is a lot of complicity between us.”
THE UNDER 12: “We trained this group, making it grow and reaching the end. We didn’t expect it. It’s a good group that has achieved excellent results.”
THANKS: “I want to thank all my athletes from U12 to U17. They really gave us a lot.”
THE FUTURE: “As for the first team, I hope for the repechage, otherwise we’ll be ready for the Excellence: head down and pedaling. For the Youth Sector I hope to be able to train these groups again, matching everything with the work. I’ll do everything.”
