A beautiful reality of sport is that of San Pietro Vernotico, basketball actually founded back in 1973 and committed on both sides: the male and female. In this issue of 'Ilbrindisino' we wanted to give visibility to the women's side with some questions to the coach Felice Rizzo, who in the season just ended has reached the fifth place on the list. Coach when he began his adventure in San Pietro, and what were your experiences?
Practically in 1973, was among the promoters of the U.S. San Pietro, with the women's team a few years later, in 1979. I've coached from 1982/83 to 1985/86 with the victory in Serie B (at the time the third national series) and then experiences the Fulgor Lecce (from Serie C to B), Ostuni Robur (3 years in B), Adria Brindisi (from Serie C to B), Monteroni Fulgor (always female in C), Galatina Basketball Club (C / 2 male), then a long pause until the return to St. Peter in the 2007/2008 season.
aim of this season?
On paper it had been built a team able to point to the playoffs, injuries, departures for work, logistical difficulties have reduced to practice by far the programs.
At the end of the championship is satisfied?
The answer this way: we managed to beat the team then won the championship in the final phase, we lost by two points with the 2nd ranked by one point with the 3rd ranked and three points Home of 4 ^. I can be satisfied, however, the growth of young people born 1993 and 1994 put in place.
What are the differences with men?
On this subject I always take one example: the guy who has quarreled with his girlfriend is in the field and vents, the girl who has quarreled with her boyfriend is out there and freak out. In short, the main differences are of a mind: more than a good coach must be a good psychologist. "
Qualities?
has always seemed to me that the girls first transpose the technical teaching, but then have a long stalemate in the growth of basketball.
Defects?
Obviously I always had the good fortune to train groups without clearly visible defects.
The strangest episode in his career?
In 1991, in the opening match on the bench of the important Robur Ostuni to Trapani, sat on the bench and left her until the end of the race, the player most representative, because she had scolded her companions blatantly. President in a rage for my "forgetfulness", but after that a compacted excellent group, we had 18 wins and only 3 losses (losing the A / 2 only in a terrible play-offs). Incidentally, the player (now coach affirmed) is still one of my dearest friend.
What is easier with men?
stimulate their pride.
And with women?
make them feel important parts of a cohesive group.
What is the strategy to ward off these incomprehensible beings?
I do not think there is a winning strategy. Personally I am very tough and demanding field, but very available as soon as you comes out. Those who appreciate this dual role of coach in and out friend can give me something more. Of course, not always successful ...
It 's true that the players are fascinated by the coach?
In my case, given my 58 years, maybe suffer a paternal affection.
