A2 M – Federico Lapenna joins the technical staff of Lazio Nuoto

Federico Lapenna joins the technical staff of S.S. Lazio Nuoto. The biancoceleste club is relaunching and investing even more in the growth of their young athletes, by adding another prominent professional figure to their current coaching team. Lapenna – a former player of Settebello and an Italian and European Champion with Pro Recco – has coached the U16 and U18 teams of Anzio Waterpolis in the past. He joins Lazio Nuoto with the specific task of overseeing and enhancing the center-forwards, scorers, and paying more attention to one-on-one situations.
Federico Lapenna's contribution will be valuable both in the water and with specific dry-land exercises, in the gym, and with resistance bands. In addition to the men's first team, Federico will also assist – in specific roles – the youth players, helping them develop or identify raw talent to work on with the reference coaches.
Words from Federico Lapenna: "I am very happy to start this new professional experience. Being able to use my skills to assist a group of players who represent the elite of Italian youth water polo is very motivating for me. I hope to see one of them wear the Settebello cap one day, as I did. I thank Lazio Nuoto and especially Daniele Ruffelli, whom I greatly admire. I am here thanks to him. I am sure that together with Daniele and Andrea Perazzetti we will do great work."
General Director Orazio Piccinini: "To enhance the specific skills of our coaching staff, we have decided to introduce – starting from the 2024/25 competitive season – a figure that can enhance our athletes in the center-forward roles, for marking, and – more generally – in one-on-one plays that the current evolution of our sport is emphasizing. In this sense, we could not have made a better choice than Federico. I am sure that his experience as a champion in the water combined with his successful coaching in the youth sectors will contribute to achieving the goals we have set, first and foremost the valorization of our athletes. Welcome Federico to the technical staff of S.S. Lazio Nuoto."
