Consultations with nutritionist Alessandro Marinelli and assessments with athletic trainer Massimo Merazzi kicked off the Cucine Lube Civitanova meeting at the Eurosuole Forum this morning.
In the afternoon, the inaugural meeting took place at 3:30 pm in the video room with head coach Giampaolo Medei, the athletes, and the entire coaching staff. Then, at 4:00 pm, reduced-size activities began in the weight room. The seven first-team players present were enthusiastic and eager to get back to work: Francesco Bisotto, Mattia Boninfante, Noa Duflos-Rossi, Eric Loeppky, Santiago Orduna, Marko Podrascanin, and Davi Tenorio. The Italian vice-champions immediately bonded with newcomer Duflos-Rossi, a French spiker who is not yet 18 and is making his first appearance in the Italian national team. He has already been in the spotlight for his performances with the national teams and in the early stages of his career in France. The newcomer immediately stood out for his decent understanding of the Italian language.
