Hello Everyone!

I’m Linda Paganelli

I am an Italian freediver, I have been freediving competitively since 2005; after a long break from competing I started again in 2022 and 1 year later I won a silver medal at the CMAS Freediving World Championship. At present I’m the oldest woman competing at elite level and stepping on a podium of a Depth World Championship! I love to train (hard) and to write about my training journey and about my freediving adventures. This website was made to share my stories with you and inspire others to follow their dreams because I’m living proof that it’s never too late.

Remote Coaching and Training APP

Despite freediving and competing for over 20 years, I only started coaching freedivers a few years ago. Even though coaching is not my main job, I dabble on it with pleasure and only for a few people because I am fascinated by what makes freedivers tick: what motivates them, what makes them progress, what obstacles they stumbles on, what helps them overcome them. How do different people respond to stress, both physical and mental, how they respond to training and which kind of training work for some and not for others. I thoroughly enjoy watching and directing this dance unfolding in front of my eyes and witness all the various stages that freedivers naturally go through. I coached people with different background and performance level, but my favourite range is 50-90 meters depth and 125-200m dynamic. Are you somewhere in that bracket and are serious about progressing and understand more about yourself and your training? I will pick your brain, constantly analyse you, and experiment on you: so if you arent ready to be picked apart and all you want is a training plan I may not be the best fit for you.
I won’t send you a pre-made plan and I’ll tailor made all your training. I will also not ask you to commit for a minimum amount of time: if it turns out we do not like each other, we should not feel stuck with each other and we both must be free to go our separate ways!

Only want a training plan and dont have the budge for a coach?

Sign up for my training app! Together with a (much smarter) student who is also addicted to training we built a training and logging tool that is designed to help freedivers of all levels, but that may especially benefit newer/less experienced freedivers who dont yet know if they are in this for a long journey and can’t invest too much time and money but need some structure and dont know how to set a coherent  plan that also considers how much time someone has available and the deadline they set for themselves.

The app is called APPNEIST, and you can download it both on Play Store and App Store.
