"The professional program and coaching have taken my skiing to a new level. For me there is only one way to archive my goals and that's Global Racing, which is more than just a team, It’s a family."

Background: I was born in Italy. At the age of two I began to ski during the ski holidays in Switzerland, where I discovered my passion. At the age of 13 I got nominated for the regional team in Switzerland, thereon my family moved to Switzerland to give me the chance to become a Worldcup skier. Between 2011 and 2012 I had 3 hip surgeries, after that I got kicked off the „Nationales Leistungs Zentrum Ost“, where I have been for 5 years. I improved my skiing in the „Oberengadiner Skiverband“ for other 4 years, where I had to fight with another injury. The season 17/18 I, together with Daniele Sette, have been racing without a team. The season 18/19 I joined for the first time Global Racing with a lot of success. Paul was able to bring my skiing to the next level! Sadly, the season was already over in December because of an injury, but I had his most successful season in my carrier by working with Paul for only 6 months.
