Marco Crespi (former coach of the Italian women’s national team) presented himself to the press today as the new director of the Dolomiti Energia Basketball Academy. In his speech, Crespi explained the reasons that led him to accept this position: “For me, coming to Trento was first of all a life choice: I fell in love with the city in the month I lived it in 2017 as a television commentator during the Scudetto finals; and in Aquila Basket I immediately perceived something different, an atmosphere and a way of working and living basketball different from that of the Italian basketball system that I had known up to that moment. As an Academy we want to be an engine, a reference: first of all, however, it will be essential to listen, understand and value the many differences and different ways of experiencing basketball and working as a club in the area. The goal is to increase the number of practitioners and fans of this sport: we will try to do so by working with humility and vision “.
