World-Class Fitness Expert Marco Panichi Conducts High-Performance Workshop in Kazakhstan

Renowned performance coach Marco Panichi recently concluded a two-day intensive physical preparation workshop in Shymkent. The Italian expert, globally recognized for his long-term partnership with Novak Djokovic and work with top-tier players like Jannik Sinner and Holger Rune, shared his high-performance methodologies with Kazakhstani athletes and coaching staff.

Panichi was accompanied by a specialized team of experts, including Stefano Baraldo, Manuela Caputi, Matteo Mantovani, and Nemanja Todorovic. Throughout the session, the team worked directly with players and their personal coaches to implement a more systematic and integrated approach to training.

Marco Panichi on his experience in Shymkent:

«It was clear that the coaches here are truly driven to learn and evolve. Our work went beyond theory; we focused on practical application — breaking down movements, specific drills, and real-match scenarios. My goal is for these specialists to understand how to apply these techniques immediately. Kazakhstan has real potential, and initiatives like this are key to accelerating that growth.»

The workshop centered on biomechanics and tennis-specific conditioning. By bringing world-class expertise to Shymkent, the program aimed to provide local physical trainers with the tools to integrate elite-level methodologies into the daily development of Kazakhstani tennis players.
