About Sam
"I have played for prestigious clubs such as Reggio Emilia, Caserta, and Ferrara. With nearly thirty years of experience in the game, my goal is to pass on everything I have learned to future generations and to anyone looking to pick up this beautiful and exciting sport. As a coach, I continuously sharpen my skills through top-tier American basketball academies. Recently, I was selected to be part of the coaching staff at the camp of one of the greatest players in basketball history, Hakeem Olajuwon, held in Birmingham, England."

Former Italian Serie A Professional Basketball Player offers 360° training sessions (for advanced/elite players) and lessons (for beginners): technique, fundamental development, mental game, and much more!My training methodology follows the American philosophy; I am not just a coach, but a true student of the game. Having grown up in one of the top national youth sectors in Italy, I had the honour of working with the best Italian coaches and spent several years playing for the Italian Youth National Team.Being highly ambitious and always striving for self-improvement, I found myself asking: why is the American level so far ahead of the rest of the world? This led me to deeply study their training methods. I fell in love with their approach, and today I constantly update my skills at the best American basketball academies. I bring specific workouts that are rarely seen locally, despite the high quality of traditional basketball. It is no coincidence that summer camps fly in American coaches, but those costs are unfortunately out of reach for most.What I offer is truly unique: nearly 30 years of experience combined with a perfect mix of cultures and styles. My methodology brings together high-intensity American player development, tactical Italian discipline, and the legendary, rigorous Yugoslavian school of basketball—famed for its flawless footwork, shooting mechanics, and fierce competitive grit. It is a complete bridge between Old School and New School. Let's be honest, where else will you find a former top-tier professional player ready to guide you step-by-step? Draw your own conclusions!Players will be divided into 3 categories:BEGINNERINTERMEDIATEELITE (PROFESSIONAL)The training methodology is strictly tailored to each player's specific qualities through personalised programmes.TOP-PLAYERS (ELITE / PROFESSIONALS)I offer completely unique, premium-quality workouts designed to reach your specific goals, meticulously prepared following the American philosophy. You will literally be projected into a different world! I provide invaluable insights for those determined to pursue a professional career or those who are already playing at that level. Top-tier basketball doesn't just require on-court talent; the mental aspect plays a massive role. To be a champion, you must train like a champion!INTERMEDIATE LEVELI have noticed that even if many athletes have been playing for a few years (2 or more), they still lack solid core fundamentals. Therefore, it is incredibly useful to take a step back and relearn the basics properly. You can only build a great player on top of a strong foundation. Think of it like a building: if the foundations are weak, it will eventually collapse. Mastering the FUNDAMENTALS is everything.BEGINNERSHave you never stepped onto a basketball court but suddenly felt an unstoppable passion for the game? That is exactly what we need: passion and a desire to improve! We will start from scratch, teaching you the fundamentals of basketball in the simplest, most effective, and most fun way possible.Workouts are open to all ages: children, teenagers, and adults. Trusting a true professional makes all the difference. I guarantee maximum professionalism and precision in programme preparation, including a full analysis of the player. My job is not just to run a one-hour session, but to closely study the individual to improve them in every aspect. My lessons take place mainly at outdoor courts across the city, allowing us to train freely and capture the true essence of the outdoor court—the "playground," where the champions of the future are born!If you have read this far, it's time to try!
