He went with his father to eat the champions with his eyes, as a child they did not summon him and closed in the gym, trained, studied, dreamed and slowly devoured the stages. Today Peppe is playing the final Scudetto as a coach, and his story teaches that in life “they win the skilled, not the alibis”
We will not tell you about the stories of those who got up at dawn to pull a basket and then arrived in the NBA. Or those who marked the school to go playing secretly and then won titles on titles. Or who had gave themselves the keys to the gym under the house to train at any time of day and night. None of this. You will not read the effect stories in the next lines. Every now and then it still happens that they can deal with normal. That of a boy born and raised in a normal Italian family. No wealth, no wealthy life, no privilege. Peppe Poeta is one “Special Normal“, It is the emblem of the perfect Italian boy. A Granticello boy now. He is the classic sporting figure capable of doing well in anything. There is no reason, they are simply those profiles cut to always excel. As a coach. As a coach. And we would also say as manager, who knows. Peppe poet from Battipaglia, 40 years old on September 12, as his closest friends say is”One who knows Campà“, who from the Neapolitan is translated into a” is one who knows how to stay in the world “. Never an out of place word, never a darkness. And smiles, many smiles. From Wednesday evening it is the technician who, with Brescia, will play in the next few days none other than the Scudetto final against Virtus Bologna. All this in his first year as head of the coach. Not bad, right?
