Regulatory News:
NHOA Group, (NHOA.PA, formerly Engie EPS) global player in
energy storage, e-mobility and EV fast and ultra-fast charging
network, announces the launch of the "NHOA Ski Team" in the
context of the NHOA Élite Program and the broader sustainability
and inclusivity strategy.
This initiative has been launched during the NHOA Group Annual
Meeting, which brought together over 500 people from 41
nationalities across four continents at Piana di Vigezzo, in the
heart of the Italian Alps. Among them, there was Daniele
Cassioli, NHOA Group’s ambassador for inclusivity and the most
successful paralympic water ski athlete in history, with 28 World
Cup and 27 European titles.
The NHOA Ski Team is affiliated with FISI - the Italian Winter
Sports Federation and aimed to coordinate all NHOA Élite Program
services related to skiing, mountain, and outdoor education for the
benefit of all NHOA Group employees, their families, and all the
athletes from every ski club in Italy and Europe who will join the
project.
Even more importantly, the NHOA Ski Team will select an athlete
among those aspiring to compete in the Paralympic Alpine Skiing
World Cup (World Para Alpine Skiing World Cup) to support
him/her on the journey to the Milano-Cortina 2026
Paralympics, in coordination with FISIP – the Italian
Paralympic Winter Sports Federation.
The over 60 athletes of the NHOA Ski Team and the other clubs
that have already joined the program will have exclusive access to
all NHOA Élite Program services and priority access to winter and
summer training and education centers, less than two hours from
Milan and Turin, in Val Vigezzo and Val Formazza.
NHOA Ski Team's program for athletes, including those with
disabilities, will span over 150 days of sport activities per
year, including alpine skiing, athletic training, and
multisport for children and young people from 4 to 21 years old,
plus over 100 hours of training for coaches and families,
complemented by all the services of NHOA Élite Program.
"I thank NHOA Group for this important inclusiveness project,
dedicated to all athletes, especially those competing in winter
sports," explains Alessandra Locatelli, the Italian
Minister for Disabilities, "and for the specific involvement
of Paralympic athletes. Sport is not just an extraordinary tool for
promoting wellbeing and inclusion, but is essential for fostering
relationships and increasing autonomy, especially for young
athletes with disabilities. It is necessary to continue investing
and working together to ensure that every young person has the
opportunity to practice sports out of passion, competition, or
pleasure, at all levels and across the entire territory. Through
competition, with the professional assistance guaranteed by NHOA,
athletes will participate in new challenges with complete
preparation, and particularly with support that will also extend to
families. An important initiative that unleashes new opportunities
and a lot of energy through specific support projects spread
throughout the territory, to reach the Olympic and Paralympic
Winter Games of Milano-Cortina 2026, optimizing the performance of
all athletes participating in the program."
The NHOA Élite Program
The NHOA Élite Program aims to cultivate a culture of excellence
and continuous performance optimization while simultaneously
fostering harmony, balance, and inclusiveness. It provides access
to training, coaching, and services developed in cutting-edge élite
contexts, under the technical direction and coordination of
Alessandro Serra, who served for 7 years as the Responsible
and Head Coach of Alpine Skiing World Cup National Teams for Italy
and Finland, participating in 3 Olympic Games, 5 World
Championships, and enrolled as Youth Technical Director from
CONI.
Launched on June 5 from the Parenti theatre in Milan and live
streamed across four continents, the NHOA Élite Program is a
permanent wellbeing program that places individuals at the center
of a project aimed at human, professional, and sports growth, based
on three pillars: continuous performance optimization combined with
physical and mental wellbeing.
The program also involves the creator of the S.F.E.R.A. Model,
Giuseppe Vercelli, Professor of Psychology at the University
of Turin, Head of the Psychological Area of Juventus F.C.,
FISI, and official psychologist of CONI for 5 Olympic
Games, as well as his entire team.
The S.F.E.R.A. Model has been chosen by the NHOA Ski Team
for the performance optimization pillar, as it is a
reference model in the international landscape, presented to the
scientific community at the XII World Congress of Sport Psychology
in Morocco. The program includes training through the S.F.E.R.A.
Model for NHOA Ski Team coaches, as well as NHOA employees, along
with dedicated training programs on performance optimization.
The physical wellbeing pillar is based on high-profile
athletic training, led by Marco Tagliaferri,
professional trainer for international athletes in cycling and
endurance sports, along with Stefania Bianchini,
professional trainer and record-holding athlete in combat sports
with 4 World titles in kickboxing and 4 in boxing.
Regarding the pillar of mental wellbeing, the NHOA Ski Team will
refer to the Progetto Psiche Association, chaired by Dr.
Laura Calabresi and Dr. Francesca Ghezzi Confalonieri,
which counts over 60 psychologists, nutritionists, psychotherapists
and psychiatrists among its team. The NHOA Ski Team will provide
athletes and their families with continuous training services,
workshops dedicated to mental wellbeing for prevention and
awareness, and a dedicated psychological support service managed by
the Progetto Psiche team, with the option of initiating individual
therapy sessions upon request.
All activities, competitive schedule, and available services
will be managed through the dedicated app “NHOA Élite”,
already available on Apple and Android platforms, developed by
Onesporter, founded by Andrea Lazzaro, an
international benchmark for digitalizing athletic training for more
than 10,000 athletes worldwide, including participants in the
Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games of Beijing 2022.
NHOA Ski Team: 60 athletes and over 40 years of
history
The NHOA Ski Team will be affiliated with FISI and will
regularly participate in alpine skiing competitions for the
Central Alps Committee across regional, national, and
international FIS (International Ski and Snowboard Federation)
circuits starting from the 2023/24 season.
The NHOA Ski Team will also coordinate with the FISIP coaches
for the training activities of Paralympic athletes selected for the
journey towards the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games of
Milano-Cortina 2026.
The GogaTrubi Ski Team, historically supported by the
NHOA Group and resulting from the merger of the two historical ski
teams, Goga and Trubi with over 40 years of history, will merge
into the new NHOA Ski Team in the coming weeks. Despite the merger,
it will maintain its identity, its teams of technicians and coaches
allocated across different athlete categories, the club's brand
identity, and the current uniforms. Patches indicating belonging
with the NHOA Ski Team will be added to the uniforms.
The Revolution Ski Race, founded by President Giorgio
Ruschetti, has officially joined the NHOA Élite Program. Thus,
the collaboration between the Revolution Ski Race and the NHOA Ski
Team will begin with the opening of the winter season 2023/24.
While the teams of technicians and coaches allocated across
different categories will remain unchanged, the Revolution Ski
Race, like all teams wishing to join the project, will have
immediate exclusive access to all the services of the NHOA Élite
Program, synergies with the NHOA Ski Team, and to the winter and
summer training centers in Val Vigezzo and Val Formazza.
Organizational and corporate integration within the NHOA Ski Team
is expected to occur over the course of 2024.
