Arenzano. Great participation at the PalaCorradi in Arenzano for Giovanni Guidetti’s Clinic organized by the Regional Qualification Center for Coaches. The training course for second and third level coaches, valid as a technical update for the 2023/2024 season, had the title “Ask me anything” and so it was: the great Italian coach, coach of VakıfBank and coach of the Serbian national team female, responded with great availability and kindness to the numerous questions from the Ligurian technicians.
Around 200 coaches participated in the course and followed the words of the “legendary” Guidetti, a multiple world champion, with great interest, literally fascinated by his teachings.
Also present were important technicians such as Monica Cresta, national under-16 men’s coach, and Carlo Parisi, Serie A coach in Bergamo.
