These are the elements of the winning formula with which Ferdinando De Giorgi built the strongest volleyball team in the world, an approach that the coach proposed during the workshop not only for winning in sports, but also for the growth and success of any business.

Thanks to the trust placed in us by the then president of Perugia Volleyball Claudio Sciurpa," added de Giorgi, "we were able to experiment in Umbria with a new way of coaching a team, authentically revolutionary for the time, capable of acting in synergy on the physical, technical and mental aspects of the players, achieving very important results over time, starting with the 2004-2005 championship that saw Perugia play in the championship final. Umbria has therefore marked an indispensable stage in my journey, which I am pleased to recall today together with President Tesei in the conviction that this region has all the requirements to be an authentic laboratory of innovation also in the field of sports."
