Da tuffatore amatoriale, attratto dai tuffi grandi altezze, per la prima volta partecipo da spettatore all’annuale gara di tuffi grandi altezze Marmeeting 2015 in costiera amalfitana.
Nasce così la passione profonda per i tuffi in contesti naturali, dove l’esecuzione tecnica è secondaria al piacere dell’avventura.
Mantenendo i contatti con i tuffatori professionisti, diventati poi amici, seguo quante più competizioni ed eventi di tuffi possibile. Polignano a mare (Italia), Mostar (Bosnia), MarMeeting (Italia), Ponte Brolla (Svizzera), HighJump (Repubblica Ceca).
Aver conosciuto i ragazzi di Infinite Drop nel 2017 mi ha permesso di partecipare sia come tuffatore che come terapista alle gare e agli eventi da loro organizzati: Thun – Swiss Open HighDiving Championship, Ponte Brolla HighDiving Competition, Lugano HighDiving Show e HighJump in repubblica Ceca.
Ho avuto così l’opportunità di allenarmi e di stare a contatto con atleti di altissimo livello, scambiando trattamenti osteopatici con consigli tecnici.
Negli anni ho avuto il piacere di partecipare come spettatore e come atleta a molteplici gare che hanno arricchito il mio bagaglio di conoscenze tecniche, metodologiche e interpersonali.
Ringrazio ogni atleta che ha creduto nel progetto e mi ha accolto nel team.
Io, DIVING PROJECT e lo staff More And Better saremo sempre a disposizione di chi ha partecipato al suo sviluppo e diffusione nel mondo dei tuffi.
