Your training environment
Train in Brescia. Compete everywhere.
The group is based in Brescia, Northern Italy. Regular presence is essential because performance is built through the daily interaction between athlete, coach and training environment—not simply by receiving a programme.
This application is intended primarily for athletes who can train regularly in Brescia.

A selective entry process.
Joining the group is not simply a matter of purchasing a coaching service. The application takes approximately 7–10 minutes and does not guarantee admission.

Frequently asked questions
Before you apply
Do I already need to be a high-level athlete?
No. We review Developing, Ambition and Top Level profiles. Performance matters, but age, potential, motivation, training background and compatibility with the group are also considered.
Can I follow the programme remotely?
This recruitment process is specifically for athletes joining the group that trains regularly in Brescia. Other coaching services are considered separately.
Can I apply if I already have a coach?
Yes, but we ask you to explain your current situation clearly. Professional transparency matters, and any possible transition or collaboration must be handled correctly.
What happens after I submit my application?
You will receive confirmation. The coaching staff will review your application and contact compatible candidates for an initial conversation. Submitting the form does not automatically mean admission.
