Simone Ripamonti

Brazil doesn’t just play football. Brazil lives it. 🇧🇷📍
I’m here in Florianópolis as part of my annual professional development tour this year taking me from Chicago Fire FC and the Chicago Bulls to South America.
And on my first days here, the beach became my classroom.
⚽️
Watching “Futvôlei” the iconic Brazilian sport born in Rio de Janeiro in 1965, blending beach volleyball rules with football skills. No hands allowed. Just feet, head, chest and knees.
🦶🏽🏝️
What strikes me as a High Performance Director isn’t just the technique it’s the training culture. Bare feet on sand. No facility needed. Just movement, coordination, and an obsession with the ball that starts in childhood and never stops.
This is where elite touch comes from.
The travel is the work. 🙏

For every kid who grew up in the 90s and dared to dream this one’s for us.

Visiting the and M.Jordan environment is not just another experience.
It’s a reminder ☝🏻🔔

A reminder that the dreams you had as a kid don’t disappear ✨
they just need to be fed with the same consistency you use to fuel your body every single day.

Grateful for the opportunity to step inside this world.
Thanks to Matt Voss for the hospitality, and to my friend and colleague Darcy Norman for making this connection possible.🤝

This is more than a visit.
This is the essence of why we do what we do.

🇮🇹

Per ogni ragazzo cresciuto negli anni ’90 che ha avuto il coraggio di sognare questo è per noi.

Entrare nell’ambiente dei Chicago Bulls, nella casa di M.Jordan non è solo un’esperienza.
È un promemoria.

Un promemoria che i sogni che coltivi da bambino non spariscono devono essere alimentati con la stessa costanza con cui ti nutri ogni giorno per vivere.

Grato per questa opportunità.
Un grazie a Matt Voss per l’ospitalità e al mio amico e collega Darcy Norman per aver reso possibile tutto questo.

Non è solo una visita.
È l’essenza di ciò che facciamo.

You don’t improve just by training more.
You improve when training starts to make sense for you.

Every athlete is different.
Different body. Different mind. Different timing.

That’s why there is no “perfect program”.
There is only the right work, for the right player, at the right moment.

If you really want to level up,
you have to go beyond:
• just running
• just lifting
• just following instructions

You need to understand:
how you move
how you react
how you perform under pressure

Because performance is not what you do in training.
It’s what you can repeat when it matters.

This is the difference between:
working hard
and working in the right direction.

Top Training Pro & Elite is built on this idea:

👉 the athlete comes first
👉 the process adapts to you
👉 every detail has a purpose

Not more work.
Better work.

If you’re serious about your next level,
you’ll feel it.

A legacy beyond the field.
Manuel Fischnaller was the first athlete to believe in the Atleta Footure Lab, the high-performance model
📆 Since Jan 29, 2025: nearly 30 tailored sessions individual training, mental coaching, visuo-motor work, chiropractic care.
Not just data. The person first.
Because talent alone isn’t enough discipline, sacrifice and growth mindset are key.

That’s the mark Manuel leaves behind at Torres Sassari and for the next generation.
