Alessandro Serra: "Kids have to get the most out of their potential"

Alessandro Serra returns to the technical staff of the Italian national team, of which he took part from 2002 to 2014, after four years of experience leading the Finnish team.

The 43-year-old Piedmontese technician from Cesana Torinese is back in FISI assuming the role of manager of the men's World Cup giant formed by Giulio Bosca, Giovanni Borsotti, Luca De Aliprandini, Alex Hofer, Roberto Nani and Riccardo Tonetti. Manfred Moelgg, which officially belongs to the slalomisti team but is the only one in the first group of merit among the wide doors, while De Aliprandini and Tonetti are in the second and all the others over thirty. "After four years of experience abroad that has enriched me from a professional and human point of view, I accepted the request of the Federation to return to Italy to lead a group that has stopped over the last few years - Serra says to fisi.org The first work to be done will be to understand what happened, even if we imagine it has been a series of causes to bring us here, but we have to put aside what has been and think all of them to bring out the best of our potential, which I have not yet fully discovered this: apart from Moelgg, whose curriculum speaks for itself, we have athletes like Borsotti, De Aliprandini, Nani and Tonetti who still have to know their true limits and a young man like Alex Hofer who still has to mature the first experiences at a high level.It will be important for everyone to find a common technical line, to recover an identity that a few years ago made school internationally.The giant today requires an standards of solidity and above all a lot of physical health, it is important to have the strength to bring out the highest possible speed from each curve and to do so it is necessary to feel better. It is our interest that some element of perspective will act as a stimulus for those who dispute the World Cup, a key point will be the trip to Ushuaia, where we will have the chance to confront all together on the track together with the components of the European Cup ". Summer training includes athletic tests at the Olympic Training Center in Formia from 20 to 25 June, then all on the snow on the Stelvio glacier from 28 June to 6 July and for a week in August, then the very important trip to Argentina, in Ushuaia , from 22 August to 22 September. The first race of the season will be Sunday, October 28th the giant of Sölden, now the traditional opening of the World Cup.
