Lorenzetti interviewed by the sponsor Synergie Italia:"Authority is won even by listening"

On Wednesday afternoon, Angelo Lorenzetti was the protagonist of "The Coach's Pills", the format presented by Synergie Italia - official sponsor of Trentino Volley. The yellow-blue coach interviewed by Andrea Vidotti, recounted some of his characteristics related to the coach's job.
"The figure of the coach has changed over time, just as that of the father of a family has changed - he specified - . Fortunately, authority is no longer feared by guys. In fact, the more you demonstrate that you are able to listen to the guys, the more authority is recognized. Great results are obtained with competence and listening. Good manners or bad manners? I don't usually use bad manners. Raising your voice a few times makes the occasion you really raise your voice memorable. In volleyball the universal language is Italian and, on second thought, it is something unique in the international sport scene. What do I think of the television microphone during time outs? It's not a problem, we have nothing to hide and I often repeat it to the players too. In the first month of lockdown we worked in the hope to be able to return to the gym as soon as possible to play immediately again and to finish our season.  Later we understood that we had to think on a longer perspective. Coronavirus has reset knowledge about the immediate future; at the first challenge will be precisely this: take off the insecurities of the period and work calmly towards the first games".
"The leader? It is not said that in a team it emerges naturally – said Lorenzetti - . In Trento I am lucky because I found a person like Simone Giannelli who, although still very young, has the skills and qualities to really be and can emerge spontaneously. The defeat? My relationship with it has changed over time, but it is still an important component of my work; after having eliminated the negative emotions it causes, it is important to be able to reflect and identify the feedback it can give. My good post-Coronavirus purpose is to make clear, the reason why we do this work for Trentino Volley".
