Words from
the Legends

Marco Airale is one of the most complete and innovative sprint coaches I have encountered in decades of international competition. His unique blend of physical therapy science and intuitive coaching instinct is genuinely rare — and his athletes show it every time they step on the track.

Working with Marco fundamentally changed how I understood speed. He doesn't just train athletes — he rebuilds them from the ground up with precision and care. His work ethic and scientific approach set a new benchmark for what sprint coaching can be.
