You’ve got talent! Wait… What? Let’s talk about the SOFT SKILLS in Freediving
When people tell me that I have a natural talent in freediving, I tend to nod in silence, but really, deep down I don’t agree, and I feel my past experiences and hard work are somewhat diminished by the word “talent”.

You've got talent! Or better, let's talk about the Hard Skills in Freediving
Recently I have given a beautiful workshop in my hometown, Genova.
Most of the theoretical part of the workshop was concentrated around the concept that there is no such thing as talent in freediving, nor in any other thing if that matters. My work as a coach has been that to give a name to all things and skills that can be quantifiable in freediving.
A whole new level of relaxation
The longer freediving tests my patience, the more I am getting tiny, but very sweet gains.
God is in the details they say, and only now that I have repeated 80m about 80 times, I finally start to understand and feel and change some subtle details that I are making a huge difference in my confidence with the depth.

Supplements, Vitamins and Minerals for Freediving

Having said this, during the months of intense depth training and competitions, I personally use supplements, vitamins and minerals to help my body recover faster.
