IMPROVEMENT STORIES FROM AN EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH
IMPROVEMENT STORIES FROM AN EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH
Anderson has been a wealth of knowledge and a class act coach since the day I met him. He is passionate about the science while also always putting the person first before the athlete. He is an expert in applying the training to fit the individual and their needs. I am grateful to know Anderson and see his love for coaching translate to success with his athletes. Anyone who works with Anderson is lucky to have a coach with so much knowledge combined with his caring and loving nature. Wesley Jhonson
Anderson's training is extremely intelligent and scientifically sound, delivering fantastic results. The various calculations performed within the established macro, meso, and microcycles allow for enormous gains in strength and performance while minimizing the risk of injury. I was very pleased with the results and highly recommend him! Dr. Eric Slywitch
Over the past few years, I have learned a great deal from Anderson, no question, one of the best coaches I have ever had. He has profound technical knowledge and a clinical insight that is rare among health professionals. I was an elite athlete for nearly 20 years, and it was thanks to him and the way he structured my training that I was able to return to competition, performing close to my personal bests. Without a doubt, what makes his work unique is the way he periodizes training, which is essential for ensuring both safety and continuous progress in the sport. José Balestrin
Since I was little, I suffered from severe asthma and would get tired just climbing a flight of stairs. But a little over 10 years ago, I became vegan, and the change in my eating habits brought me the benefit of breathing better and feeling much better. So I decided to start exercising and asked my nutritionist for a referral to a trainer. That's how I found Anderson Bassi. Anderson is more than a trainer; he is an excellent health professional who promotes health. He has always supported my choice to be vegan. He knows that proteins and everything else we need can be obtained through a well-planned vegan diet, and that this would not be an obstacle to training well. He encouraged me to start running, and what seemed very unlikely for me became my favorite physical activity! Anderson guided me through this whole process with personalized, detailed, and careful planning. He was there for my first 5K race and accompanied me on my first São Silvestre race, running alongside me to support me! Completing the São Silvestre race was one of the greatest achievements of my life, and I must say that this achievement is due to Anderson's excellent work. Carine Savalli
I’ve been training with Bassi since January 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic when many people gained weight. It wasn't easy, because gyms closed and both my trainer and I had to adapt to continue training. I lost 5 kilos in this 1-year process in a very healthy way, and I didn't lose any more weight because I had a significant increase in muscle mass. I felt a relatively quick improvement in my body structure and, although I didn't participate in competitions because of the pandemic, I noticed a very significant cardiovascular and muscular evolution. Today, I do exercises and MTB training that I couldn't do before. I'm very satisfied! Marcel de Toledo
Anderson has been coaching me for as long as I can remember. Many times, I asked myself whether I was in the right place, following the right method. What always reassured me was knowing how dedicated and hardworking he is in his studies. In addition, he came into my life because he coaches my father, who is now a world champion. At the time, my father didn’t hold that title, but even after many years of training, he had virtually no injuries, which reinforced my belief that he and his coach were doing an excellent job. But Anderson became more than just my coach. He is a friend, always ready to listen and offer wise advice. Beyond taking care of my physical health, he has often helped me maintain my mental health as well. Through this, I learned that dedication is essential in his work. I trust completely in the individualized planning he provides for me. Larissa Malacrida
Those who have the privilege of knowing or training with Anderson Bassi are aware of his passion and contribution, not only to triathlon, but also to sports in general. His work goes beyond sports, encompassing education, health, and the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of everyone, and that is where his work makes a difference. Anderson is a highly skilled and respected coach in several areas, contributing to very specific and individualized planning for each student or athlete. I personally recommend and admire Anderson as an athlete, coach, and friend, always caring for and helping each individual, whether amateur or professional. I believe that training with Anderson would be a lifelong learning journey. Victor Gracio
Anderson Bassi is a coach who has gained his experience through playing as an athlete and through academic training. His keys to success are interesting: resilience, discipline, willpower, passion for the process, and a lot of patience. In fact, there are many keys to success. It is not enough to train only physical fitness, but also aspects that contribute to coping with training and competitions, overcoming problems and difficulties. Furthermore, Anderson does not consider the athlete solely in terms of their pursuit of performance but also in terms of personal development, a process of self-awareness, to appreciate not only what can be achieved or obtained but also the journey itself, a long journey of physical effort, commitment, perseverance, and learning. Anderson seems to have a very broad approach that also includes the mental aspect, leading athletes not only to prepare for sport but also to become better people in search of self-discovery. Anderson seems to be a truly resilient person who focuses on the present moment to seize every opportunity, with the intention of doing well in his sport and doing his utmost to lead the athletes he trains not only to performance but also to a better life. Andersoin is aware that it is more difficult to maintain motivation and consistency in the commitment to achieving great results on your own, so it is better to network with other professionals such as psychologists, and for this I thank him. Especially during this long period of pandemic, athletes can lose motivation to commit to their programs or plans to achieve important goals. Anderson cares about the specificities of each person, and his prerogative is to provide training tailored to the individual. An excellent approach is to always use residual resources, constantly reinvent yourself, ride the wave of change, and understand that there is always something you can do. You need to understand the context and organize yourself without losing heart. Dr. Matteo Simone
Anderson, the most important thing you have brought to my life, which is also reflected in my journey in sport, is consistency and clarity about the role of sport. I have always been dedicated, but without proper guidance, I was unable to fully benefit from what sport can truly offer: quality of life, health, body awareness, and an understanding of my own limits. As a coach, you go beyond training plans; your dedication and planning clearly reflect your professionalism. I feel supported by the individualized attention you give, without relying on ready-made formulas, something that reflects your path both as an athlete and as a professional. Your teaching goes beyond sport, inspiring how to face challenges in life and highlighting the role sport can play in that process. Another quality is your ability to adapt to each client's needs, whether they are elite athletes or clients simply looking to build a healthier routine. You are a complete professional who guides us to see sport as a path of physical and mental care, making a difference through this integrated presence. Camila Rocha
I’ve had the privilege of sharing important moments in sports and in my life with Anderson Bassi, whether as a competitor, training buddy, or colleague. In every way, Anderson has always been very dedicated, disciplined, honest, and professional in everything he has done and continues to do. He is a human being of infinite qualities. He’s a different kind of professional! Another friend that God has blessed me with. Flávio Bordezan
“The shoemaker’s son goes barefoot”? Not here.
Janaina, Anderson Bassi’s wife, shares the transformative impact that structured training has had on her life:
I had always been physically active, but without much planning. When I met Anderson, my routine changed completely. He taught me how to cycle, and in Australia the bike became more than just a means of transportation. It brought a new way of seeing the city and life itself. I also learned how to run with him, and that brought incredible benefits such as freedom and well-being. Anderson is a different kind of coach, eccentric and, above all, extraordinary at what he does. It is not always easy to follow his method, but the results make every effort worthwhile. Lucky are those who train with him. Janaína Araújo Severo
Anderson Bassi is one of the best coaches in the country for me. With him, I was able to develop in a surprising way in multisport, where I am currently able to compete at a high level in my goal, which is the Xterra/off-road Triathlon, in addition to Mountain Bike Marathon, Mountain Bike XCO, and Road Triathlon. All this work is done in a way that suits my reality, where I can maintain a balance between sport, work, and leisure. How do I achieve this? Through specialized training, where I often train less than my competitors and maintain excellent performance. Today, after more than 10 years of training with Anderson, I can say that my quality of life and energy, even at 44 years of age, are completely satisfying and rewarding, and everything leads to good health.

A highly dedicated athlete, a coach with extensive knowledge and vision. Hermínio Mendes Barreto Junior
Some soccer coaches are great theorists. They know everything about tactical formations, set plays, defensive and offensive strategies... However, many of them have never been professional players and have never experienced the pressure of playing on the field. Another group of coaches are those who were great soccer players in the past, but know nothing about tactical schemes, strategy... they are unfamiliar with soccer theory. However, they are very knowledgeable about everything that happens on the field. When a coach combines these two qualities, he becomes a master. That's how I see Anderson Bassi's work. He is deeply knowledgeable about scientific literature on sports and a giant athlete. On the bike, on the track, and in the pool, Anderson masters all disciplines and knows the ins and outs of how an athlete can evolve intelligently within their activity. In any sport, victory within the “four lines” can only be achieved with determination and wisdom. Determination depends solely and exclusively on the athlete. Wisdom, on the other hand, requires the help and advice of a master. Marco Clivati
In my work as a nutritionist, I’ve developed an incredible partnership with Anderson, and this was of the most amazing things that happened in 2020. Anderson has a wealth of experience, knowledge, and values that truly matter. He is an excellent professional, and I see in practice how his clientes and athletes become healthier and improve their athletic performance, just as they had dreamed. In addition, Anderson has many qualities that few professionals do. He is authentic, communicates well, supports, trains alongside, motivates, pays close attention, and is tough when he needs to be (laughs); all for the good of his clients. Anderson is certainly an extraordinary professional whom I am pleased to work with. Giulia Trevizan
It is wonderful to be able to write about Anderson Bassi's work. First of all, I am a great admirer of his, because he is a focused and highly educated person who inspires confidence and peace of mind in us to achieve our goals. We have known each other for several years, and I have the example of my brother Nilson Carlos Malacrida, who, through you and all your knowledge, has achieved results that we never thought possible, thanks to a lot of hard work, as we are people who do not live off sports and have a social life outside of it. I am grateful to have you in my life, to have met you, and so far, despite my difficult routine, through your knowledge, which encompasses not only physical activity itself, but also helping to treat my current weakness, which is psychological, I am progressing and starting a task that is necessary for my whole life, which is to take care of myself and do what I love. You can't imagine how much you have helped me not to give up and believe in myself. I can only thank you and go after my dream. Thank you very much for your talent in coaching us the best.
