As an amateur diver, attracted by impressive heights, I was a spectator in the annual 2016 Marmeeting High Dive competition on the Amalfi Coast (Italy).
Thus was born my absolute passion for diving in natural contexts, where technical execution is secondary to the pleasure of adventure.
By keeping in touch with professional divers, who have since become friends, I follow as many competitions and diving events as possible: Polignano a mare (Italy), Mostar (Bosnia), MarMeeting (Italy), Ponte Brolla (Switzerland), HighJump (Czech Republic).
Having met the Infinite Drop team in 2017 allowed me to take part both as a diver and as a therapist to their competitions and events: Thun – Swiss Open Highdiving Championship, Ponte Brolla HighDiving Competition, Lugano HighDiving Show and HighJump in the Czech Republic.
I have thus had the opportunity to train and be in contact with top-level athletes, sharing osteopathic treatments and technical advice.
Over the years I have had the pleasure of participating as a spectator and as an athlete to multiple competitions that have enriched my technical, methodological and interpersonal knowledge.
I thank every athlete who believed in the project and welcomed me into their teams.
DIVING PROJECT, the More And Better staff and me will always be available to those who have participated in its development and spread in the diving world.
