“The best years of my career in Caserta”

The setter Amber Trevisiol it is the ninth summer graft of aAkademia Sant’Anna revolutionized on the market. The Venetian director introduces herself like this: “I am determined, I always say 99% determination and 1% empathy. Then I work a lot and push a lot.” She is a decision maker in all situations: “You always have to be quick-thinking in your choices, quick in your movements on the pitch, in understanding the opponents’ weak points in order to give the best ball to the attacker who can put the ball down for you at that moment.”

Ambra comes from a region that has long been at the forefront of national and world volleyball. She is from Oderzo, about twenty km from Conegliano. When Imoco Volley was born she wasn’t even twenty years old: “Who hasn’t thought about that shirt, mI wish I could wear it! When I made my debut at the “PalaVerde” wearing the jersey of Caserta, with that audience and its warmth, for me it was an indescribable emotion. Once she entered the field, the announcer announced that an athlete from Treviso was playing and a wave started. At that point I raised my arm towards the referee to indicate that I was the captain on the pitch, but the crowd thought I was waving and so a second wave started. I hadn’t noticed anything in all this. It was my friends who told me about the joke, they still make fun of me. It was wonderful to make my debut in a stadium where you have always watched Imoco play.”

Trevisiol appreciates the Japanese athlete as an athlete Takeshita. Among the Italians, however, his choice falls on some Italian national teams: “As a head Moki De Gennaro, also for determination; for the heart Alice Degradifor the passion she puts into playing and also for how she recovered from the injury, in 2020, the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, when she wore the Cuneo Granda Volley shirt, for technical Alessia Orro”.

The years of Casertamarked by the conquest of the A1 and, unfortunately, also by Covid, without which his sporting journey could have taken a different turn: “Describing the period spent in Campania is difficult. Wonderful years that brought me promotion from A2 to A1 and my debut in the top flight, which I carry in my heart. Definitely the best two years of my career. It’s really difficult to describe in a few words all the emotions I felt. Finally, I think that, without Covid, my career would have changed but I prefer to put that period behind me and not think about it anymore.”

After 2020 Ambra started again from the fourth series. The promotion with Blu Team Pavia of Udinetherefore the experiences with Sheds And Genoa. Now Messina. Like in Caserta, still in the South with a Serie A club: “I was looking for an ambitious company that had a clear project and, above all, where we could work well. Serie A and the possibility of returning to the South did the rest. There is an objective to be achieved, which we will achieve and which I won’t say out of good luck.”

“Even though I haven’t been in Serie A for a few years – continues the Venetian athlete – I have always followed it and this year too the teams have equipped themselves with important personnel. We will see high-level volleyball with a very respectable roster.” He will meet again in Messina Aurora Rossettowith whom she played together for a year and with whom she shares a precious friendship: “I’m going back to playing with her and I’m happy about that. She told me very well about the company and everything else. Her words were an added value but I already had clear ideas beforehand.”

“Messina represents my first time in Sicily – concludes Ambra Trevisiol –. I can’t wait to come here to learn about traditions, food, its people, just everything. I expect a lot of warmth and a building full of passion. Playing in the South I learned that volleyball is experienced with great emotion. Then, I think of the sun, the sea, a great welcome; I love the South, I’m happy to go back and I will do it accompanied by my boyfriend, Tommy, who is also a volleyball coach”.
