SALICE TERME
Behind the scudetto signed by Asia Aliotta and Linda Moretti there is a staff of decisive characters, starting with Sam Fioretta, not only the coach, but also the beating soul of Beach Volley Oltrepo. «I was lucky to meet these girls and their families – says Fioretta – It was not an easy journey, especially the three months that preceded the finals due to the hardness and monotony of everyday work. I haven’t made the girls love me, but I don’t know ways other than fatigue. Shortcuts lead nowhere. ” A varied work: «From a technical point of view, there are better coaches than me. But I wanted to take care of the mental aspect of preparing for fatigue, for matches, which is not easy for 14-year-olds. They were wonderful, they were able to hold on and learn. Especially from some painful defeat, those that make you grow and teach you to win when it counts ». Fioretta does not forget that the success was for the whole team who strongly believed in it: “First of all, the families, fantastic parents who accompanied the girls around Italy, incurring costs and sacrifices and who gave up their holidays. , which I believe they will have to do in the years to come. And then all the staff of Beach Volley Oltrepo who have trained, grown and supported these girls every moment who have started to take their first steps in beach volleyball with Valentina Pavione and Francesca Lugano up to the Scudetto ». The future? “The difficulty is always confirming to be at a high level and for Asia and Linda he will arrive shortly with the difficult Under 18 qualifiers”.
