Born in 1985, Alessandro Vigo is an Italian Performance & Human Behaviour Specialist, Team Director of Scirocco TF and a coach with international experience spanning Europe, the Middle East and the United States. Since 2007, he has worked across multiple sporting environments, supporting athletes from youth development programmes to the Olympic Games, while building a multidisciplinary approach that combines performance science with psychosocial understanding.

Throughout his career, Alessandro has coached athletes who have competed at the Olympic Games, World Championships, European Championships and numerous international events, contributing to national titles, international medals and more than one hundred personal best performances. Rather than defining success solely through results, he believes the true achievement of coaching lies in helping athletes build the knowledge, awareness and confidence to sustain performance over time.

His coaching philosophy was shaped through practical experience in high-performance environments, including his internship at ALTIS in Phoenix (USA), where he worked alongside world-renowned coaches such as Dan Pfaff, Stuart McMillan and Andreas Behm. Those experiences reinforced his conviction that elite performance emerges from the integration of technical expertise, human relationships and continuous learning.

In 2017 he founded Scirocco TF, an international coaching project that has evolved into a multicultural community of athletes from more than twenty countries. As Team Director, he leads the development of programmes that integrate technical coaching, performance analysis and psychosocial support, creating environments where athletes can grow both on and off the track.

Alongside his coaching career, Alessandro graduated with First Class Honours in Psychosocial Disciplines. His studies have strengthened the perspective developed through years in elite sport: sustainable performance depends not only on physical preparation, but also on identity, motivation, emotional regulation, relationships and the ability to adapt to changing environments. Having lived and worked in different countries, he has developed particular interest in supporting athletes facing relocation, cultural transition and the personal challenges associated with international careers.

Today, his work focuses on bridging sport, psychology and education, supporting athletes, coaches and organisations in building high-performance environments centred on human development as much as competitive success.
