Other information |
MENTAL TRAINING
He has worked alongside a mental coach, which has helped him to improve his sporting performances. "I define myself as a stubborn listener. And a competitive guy. Competitions are a pleasure for me and I can't wait to take part in them. All this merit goes to the work I have done with a mental coach. Her work was inspired by Tibetan monks. We worked focusing on the body's energy, breathing, and the control of anxiety. The body goes nowhere without the mind and you have to understand when it's time to let it take control and when you have to take it up yourself." (corriere.it, 03 Apr 2021)
FASHION
At age 18 he appeared on the cover of the AFmag magazine in Italy, and he has also featured on the catwalk at the Milan Fashion Week. "I pay attention to details. I love accessories, especially jewellery because my father is a goldsmith." (corriere.it, 03 Apr 2021) |
