Biography

Vitor Ciampolini is Brazilian and holds a PhD in Physical Education from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil). During his studies, he was selected by government programs to participate in exchanges at SUNY Oswego and Syracuse University (USA) and at the University of Ottawa. Vitor began his scientific career in 2013 in a sports pedagogy laboratory and has since studied and published work focusing mainly on coach training and the positive development of young people through sport.

Vitor worked for two years as a basketball coach for children and young people. During this time, he tested various strategies discussed in the scientific literature on teaching life skills, such as respect and teamwork. Thanks to this experience and the publication of scientific articles, Vitor became a leading figure in this field in Brazil and began providing consultancy services to large organizations seeking to promote youth development through sport. In 2020, Vitor took part in a major project for the Brazilian Olympic Committee aimed at structuring a guidance document for the development of coaches and athletes in the country.

Since immigrating to Canada in 2023, Vitor has worked with TrèsBonPoint on coach and coach trainer training projects. Vitor has collaborated and led activities based on social learning theory, including encouraging meaningful interactions during training encounters to enhance learning. Although he comes from a beautiful island in Brazil (Florianópolis) where he surfed, the Canadian winter didn't deter Vitor, who did his best to make the most of the low temperatures by mountain skiing and skating on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa.
