National FIT Coach since 2011. International Coach (GPTCA) since 2012 (Level B after the Dublin course, 2018). PTR Performance Professional since 2014.

He began his coaching career in 2002 in Cisterna, founding and directing the Country Club Tennis School until 2012. In 2012, he merged that activity into Colle degli Dei and—together with Renato Pompei—helped build the current Tennis School: a pathway designed to guide players from their first strokes all the way to their highest potential.

Alongside directing other tennis schools (Villa Borghese Nettuno 2007–2009; CS Palianello 2010–2011), he expanded his expertise through international experiences with Andres Barbosa (Key Biscayne) and Rick Macci (Boca Raton) in Florida (2009), and with Riccardo Piatti’s team in Bordighera (2011–2013), including advanced work in video analysis.

Since 2015, he has collaborated closely with Claudio Pistolesi’s CPE to organise coach-education stages, training camps for young athletes, and international development experiences (tournament trips, US college visits, and broader growth opportunities).

Since 2018, he has accompanied multiple players on the international Futures and Challenger circuits, supporting development that contributed to the club’s historic promotion to Serie A (2022).

One of Italy’s most respected high-performance coaches, Alberto has coached professionally since 1983 and has worked with numerous ATP Top 100 players across his career, including athletes who reached the very top of the world rankings.

He is the Founder and President of the GPTCA (Global Professional Tennis Coach Association), established in 2010 with a group of tour-level coaches and later recognised by the ATP as a leading global coaching association.

Known for combining elite-level technical training with a strong focus on the mental side of performance, he has supported players across hundreds of international events—bringing a “big-tour” mindset to daily training, match preparation, and long-term athlete development.

Roles at Colle degli Dei focus on mentoring coaches, building performance routines, and strengthening the mental edge that separates good players from great competitors.
