Michele you chose to return to Piedmont after the year in A3 in Bari, what made you choose Cuneo?
« Cuneo is close to home and is an important historical society with an excellent reputation. I had the opportunity and I jumped at it.”
What led you to choose volleyball?
« Paradoxically it was precisely the complexity that comes from being a volleyball athletic trainer; it is a highly traumatic sport in which the athletic aspect is crucial for a quality performance. It’s complicated but stimulating and then working in sport is a privilege”.
Have you already discussed the pre-season work with coach Battocchio?
« Absolutely yes, the coach and I have been in touch weekly for about a month now. We already drafted the pre-season schedule together about ten days ago. The players are already at work, obviously they all took a break to dissipate the residual fatigue accumulated in the previous season, but at the moment they all already have a program to follow during the off-season».
Do you have any goals you’ve set for next season?
« Simply become a point of reference for the kids and try to help them grow from an athletic point of view. I realize these are not clear and defined objectives, but anything can happen in volleyball, it would be utopian to say otherwise.”
