“Be hunters of endings”. An imprinting from the Modena youth teams, taken more literally so as to bring Reggio Emilia to a sensational season. Its explosion made it become the object of desire on the market and Tim Held chose Agnelli Tipiesse. It could almost be said to “settle a bill” given that his ace ended Game 3 of the play-off semifinal in Bergamo. In reality it is a new chapter that opens. Under the best auspices, intriguing to the highest degree and with the specific intent of giving new propulsion. Born in 1998 (195 cm), the spiker born in Macerata, is the son of one of the strongest central players ever, Henk Jan, Olympic gold medalist with the Netherlands in Atlanta 1996, before silver in Barcelona 1992 and with a 15-year militancy in the our A series.
BERGAMO, AN HONOR – “The phone call was an honor. Because the company has been working very well for many years and always wants to aim for the maximum. A challenge that excites me and that I accepted with great energy. Also in function of my personal growth since I consider coach Gianluca Graziosi the ideal figure to continue in the right direction ”
ARROW INSERTED – “I needed to feel the confidence. Some situations allowed me to earn my place as a starter in Reggio as had happened in the previous year in Pineto in A3. When you are an alternative, the prospect of trying to conquer the position is an additional fuel, which makes you give more than your best every day. To be a protagonist, to do well, to win “.
TEACHINGS – “Winning is good, but it is even more so when you are not the favorite. In Reggio Emilia, no one would have expected a similar path. Yet we have accomplished something unforeseeable. We were able to create an exceptional group, who teamed up inside and outside the gym by gradually focusing on their weaknesses and strengths. Physically you can be as strong as you want, but it’s your head that makes the difference ”.
“FIRST” TO BE OWNER – “I made good use of my opportunities, also facilitated by a setter like Garnica. Unwinding and having fun, that is two prerogatives that I also want to bring to Bergamo where I will be, for the first time, in the base line-up. And this is another incredible motivation “.
