Julio Velasco Day is the flagship event of Performance Strategies, now part of ROI Group.
After the historic victory at the 2025 Volleyball World Championships, the full day dedicated to leadership and team management returns with one of the greatest coaches in international sport.
A unique event where you will acquire the most effective coaching methods to get the best out of your team and lead it to outstanding results, together with the coach who led the Italian women’s national volleyball team to Olympic gold at the Paris 2024 Games.
What are the most effective techniques to become a great leader? How do you develop a winning mindset to achieve the highest results in business, as in sport? How do you identify each collaborator’s motivational levers to push them to give their best?
On this unmissable day, the great coach Julio Velasco will show, through practical examples, anecdotes, and stories of situations he has lived firsthand, how to become an effective leader.
JULIO VELASCO
The coach who revolutionized the world of volleyball.
2025 World Champion and Olympic gold with the Italian women’s national volleyball team at the Paris 2024 Games, the first ever, Julio Velasco has built the foundations that over the last 30 years have brought Italian volleyball to the highest international levels.
He was the legendary coach of the Generation of Phenomena, the storied Italian men’s national team that in the 1990s won three consecutive World Championships, earning the title of Best Team of the Century, and his coaching methodologies cement him as one of the most visionary and innovative coaches in world sport.
A former sports executive and head coach of numerous national and club teams, with 3 World titles, 3 European titles, 5 World League titles, one Nations League, and an Olympic gold, he has been inducted into both the Italian Volleyball Federation (FIPAV) Hall of Fame and the international Hall of Fame.
His methodologies for team management and for developing individual and collective leadership have become an absolute benchmark for thousands of entrepreneurs, managers, and companies throughout Italy.
