Testimonial

“Presentation by Albert Ramos Vinolas” From a perspective that's always a little different from the rest, a gentleman in a sport of sharks, on a circuit where only winning matters, Gianluca appeared in my life in 2019. He helped me a lot during a difficult time in my career: things weren't going well, and he joined our team to bring a different perspective.With a strong desire to work, a well-studied theory of technique, support, and many hours of work alongside my team, we managed to turn my career around and continue for a few more years at the “elite level.One of the things I like about Gianluca is that he has a holistic approach: technique, physical preparation, posture, visual training...I know Gianluca really likes perseverance, something important in any sport, where the only way to improve is repetition.I remember the first weeks of training, where we spent the day doing exercises on the court, with and without a racket, with medicine balls, Bosus, and visual training.Thanks for everything, my friend!Albert Ramos Vinolas” Passi di THE GAME OF PERSEVERANCE GIANLUCA CARBONE Il materiale potrebbe essere protetto da copyright.
