Built on the court.
I learned the game as a player before I learned to teach it. Five seasons of Serie C in Milan — senior basketball, three practices a week and games every weekend — taught me what a player actually needs to hear, and when.
The path
Player — Serie C, Milan
Five seasons of senior basketball in Lombardy.
Youth coach
Many teams, from minibasket to under-18: fundamentals, habits, and a love for the game.
Assistant coach — men's Serie D
Game preparation, scouting and individual work with the roster.
Assistant coach — women's Serie B
Practice planning and player development at national level.
How I coach
- Fundamentals first. Footwork, balance, a repeatable shot — everything else sits on top.
- Reads, not just reps. Every drill ends in a decision you'll face in a game.
- Clear feedback. Short and specific, in English or Italian — and Mandarin is coming, one practice at a time.
Moving to Taipei in 2027, and working toward a local coaching certification.
