I am a former professional footballer and have been a youth football coach for almost twenty years.

Dear readers, I would like to introduce myself and tell you about my wonderful experience in Zambia. At the beginning I was a bit worried because it was the first time I was teaching coaches in a new part of the world, but thanks to the Manager Michele Bianchi and my two co-workers Gianmarco and Lorenzo,
with whom I immediately established a good friendship, a great feeling and an excellent collaboration, I overcame all my fears. Both the coaches and the boys showed a lot of willingness to learn, thanks also to the enthusiasm that we all conveyed for this sport, which in Zambia is a source of motivation every day.

The coaches were very satisfied with my teaching and, under my supervision, they passed it on to their players and the results were immediately visible.
It has been a great experience both on a footballing and human level and has helped to boost my self-confidence. I thank my staff wholeheartedly and look forward to more opportunities for rewarding experiences like this.
