Last night I finished reading The Metamorphoses by Apuleius, and I can assure you that Psyche wasn’t lying on a therapist’s couch. She was performing.

When we hear her name, we immediately think of feelings, love, trauma, tears… almost as if they were all signs of weakness. But no. Psyche worked incredibly hard to put things right in her life.

In Apuleius’ Metamorphoses, Psyche is usually remembered through the story of Cupid and Psyche, a tale of love, loss and reunion. Venus, Cupid’s mother, sets Psyche four almost impossible tasks, promising her a chance to be reunited with her beloved only if she succeeds. Each demands something different from her, and none can be solved simply by trying harder.

She has to understand the situation, adapt her behaviour, make decisions, use available resources and remain capable of acting when the pressure is high.

In other words, Psyche spends much of the story performing.

Why choose our online training programmes?
Chapter 1: The work behind the programme

We have spent a huge amount of time researching, analysing and refining the way we build our training programmes.

The 2025–2026 season gave us 12 personal bests, and those results have made us even more confident that there is much more to come in the season ahead.

But the most important part is not the number of PBs. It is what we have learned from the process. Every training block, every exercise, every progression and every recovery period has been questioned, tested and refined with one goal in mind: creating a better way to prepare athletes for speed and performance.

The next season is built on everything we learned from the last one. And we genuinely believe it can be better.

A few days of the right work can change how you approach a race. ⚡

“I had the opportunity to train with Alessandro for a week at a training camp for my 400m hurdles, and it was a really valuable experience. In that short time, I learned so many new things, especially around stride patterns and technique over the hurdles, which has given me a lot more confidence in my race ex*****on.

The attention to detail in each session was clear, and everything we worked on felt specific and purposeful. I’m coming into the season feeling sharp, more technically aware, and excited to put everything into practice.

Thank you so much!”

End of the season. Once more, a lot to learn.

The season comes to an end with the Masters National Championships and a remarkable haul of eight gold medals.

🥇🥇 Serena Caravelli, SF45: 80h, 200m
🥇🥇 Valeria Celentano, SF40: 80h, 400h
🥇 Giulia Guglielmi, SF35: 100m
🥇 Fabrizia Malatesti, SF55: 400m
🥇🥇 Andrea Portalatini, SM50: 100m, 200m

A truly positive season, with personal bests and national titles across the categories, from U23 to Masters. Another indication that our approach can work across different athletes, ages and levels.

This season also brought many changes, including the influence and integration of training elements developed by mid-long distance Coach Giorgio Errico. Another example of the flexibility within the Scirocco TF approach and our willingness to keep learning.

The new season will start on 5 October, with our programmes opening to all running disciplines, from 100m to marathon, bringing the same approach we have developed in sprint to every discipline, supported by a wider group of experts.

Dear friends, here is Alessandro Vigo, the new page of Alessandro Vigo, Team Director of Scirocco TF.

We kindly ask you to support this new project by following the page. Every follow will be another small step into this new chapter, which is just getting started. 🙏

Alessandro graduated with honours in Psychosocial Sciences and is now dedicating his time and energy to a field that has always been close to him:

Understanding the athlete as a whole and the many factors that contribute to optimal performance.

His experimental dissertation achieved statistically significant results on the influence of digital media on athletes. Helping athletes develop a more conscious relationship with digital media will be one of the services offered through this new project.

The best training programme is never finished.

Since 2017, we’ve been building, testing and refining our methodology through one simple principle: every athlete teaches us something new.

Our latest article looks at how experience, observation and better questions have shaped the Scirocco TF approach to sprint coaching, from individual sessions to the structure of an entire season.

Because performance doesn’t come from finding the perfect workout. It comes from understanding how hundreds of training sessions connect with purpose.

A very positive first season of working together with Eric comes to an end.

The performance at the 2026 WMAC | Daegu | Korea | 2026. 8.22. - 9. 3. in Korea gives us plenty to look forward to as the next season begins on 5 October.

Alongside congratulating him on his national title and the 4x100m relay bronze medal at the in Daegu, we want to recognise something just as important:

The ability to manage the small physical issues that prevented the best preparation, yet still left room for performances with real quality on the international stage.

The athlete’s clarity, together with the guidance of the therapist 𝔸𝕩𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖 𝔹𝕠𝕦𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕣, allowed the work to continue and, most importantly, allowed us to be there for the biggest event of the year.

We all know how much work it takes for a Masters athlete to make all these parts of life coexist. When it leads to results like these, that work deserves to be recognised.

When young athletes switch off, it is not always a question of effort or motivation.

Digital habits can affect attention, recovery and communication long before training starts. This carousel gives coaches simple ways to spot the signs and respond more effectively.

Coaching starts with seeing the whole athlete.

Over the past few months, we’ve cleared out all the rubbish that had taken over our social media.

We decided to start from scratch, going back only to the people who have been part of our story and helped make us what we are today. One by one.

To those who first stepped onto the track following our guidance. To those who achieved personal bests, won national championships, and were the first to take the name of Scirocco TF onto the international stage.

There is no better day than today to start with the very first.

Happy birthday, Aziz. Glad we met you along the way.
