This July, Andrea stepped onto the track at Scirocco TF’s training camp in Spain. She felt both hopeful and nervous. Once a devoted hurdler, she hadn’t competed since February due to a setback. As a result, doubts about her performance weighed on her mind.

Little did she know, six days with coach Alessandro would change her technique and mindset.

The Day Everything Changed

From the first session, Andrea noticed something different. Alessandro’s coaching was precise, personal, and very supportive. Every hurdle drill, sprint, and movement analysis aimed to improve her performance. At the same time, it rebuilt her confidence and motivation.

Andrea quickly experienced the power of holistic coaching. Technical adjustments, posture corrections, and targeted exercises came with constant encouragement. This also focused on her mental readiness.

Behind the Scenes: Track and Gym Work

During the camp, Andrea followed a clear plan of track drills and gym exercises. On the track, she worked on hurdle approach, stride patterns, and acceleration. Low hurdles and staggered drills helped her reconnect with rhythm. Poles and resistance bands reinforced posture, hip position, and dorsiflexion. These were essential for safe and efficient landings.

In the gym, exercises built strength, mobility, and stability. They activated her tibialis muscles for precise foot placement. They also improved core and pelvic control. Explosive power for block starts was another focus. Alessandro made sure each drill had a clear purpose. This helped Andrea trust her own movements.

As a result, the combination of track and gym work boosted her confidence. She approached hurdles with aggression and smoothness. By linking physical and mental training, Scirocco TF helped her overcome fears. Andrea also rediscovered joy in her event.

The supportive environment encouraged her to push limits and try new techniques. It also helped her embrace hurdles with confidence.
