Personal History

Part of one of the oldest families in Italy Cologero was the youngest and the biggest surprise, his parents were not expecting to be able to have anymore children. As he aged he looked a lot like old photos of whom was a retired Captain in the Navy. Cologero was Christened in the family church January 6th, it was the oldest of Family traditions. Every family member got Christened for Epiphany (Epifania), or LA Befana. The Coppola family believed in the spirit of the three kings or Wisemen. It was one of the few family traditions that came from the old country along with a few traditions, most were sacred to his family. Educated in a private Catholic school it afforded him the the ability to excel in his education while maintaining his faith.

Growing up on the family villa Cologero always had a lot of Family around, three generations under one roof. In his younger years Cologero spent a lot of time in the garden with his Nonna planting fresh vegetables, fruits, and grapes. He learned about how to plant good crops and how to cook that continued all the way until his teens. At the age of eight he discovered football and loved it right away, he would play with older brothers and friends for hours. As he aged Cologeros brothers would stop taking it easy on him and his skills improved, and joined his first team at the age of ten.

Cologero made several friends playing football whom were always treated as family, it was just who they were. While playing football he learned about the fundamentals of football, strategy, and when to call an audible (a sudden change in play when the evidence calls for it.). His leadership both on and off of the field made him Team Captain, a fact that he never let go to his head.

In his teens Cologero started to be a risk taker in extreme sports, his personal favorite was mountain climbing. There was that feeling that he got on every mountain top that was purely majestic, something that could never be replicated anywhere. When you are above the vertical limit you really need to depend on your team, as they need to count on you. At base camp when he would climatize for the climb ahead, he would listen to old family history about past climbs and old war stories. Eventually it lead to him wanting to create his own stories, and applied for the academy.

It was no surprise that Cologero would join the Academy, it was just a matter of when. He had all of the traits that would serve him well in the Military, the nerve and smarts to help him advance. His flair in the kitchen helped with friends, Saturdays soon became the day some Cadets would gather for the feast. Sundays were reserved for Church and their feast after, it was their way of stay connected to each other. While on Campus it was his way of connecting with his fellow Cadets, just so he could feel normal again.

While at the Academy Cologero felt isolated from his family for the first time, he raised a flag of friendship. First by providing a taste of home, good food and wine from home. It started with his roommate quickly expanded to a few more rooms, soon it was open for anyone who wanted to join. It didn't take long for him to make friends, it really took off after Cologero joined the triathlon. He always loved a good challenge, this provided an excellent opportunity for just that. Training hard for everything both in body and mind, it was the only way to really get ahead.

Even with all the hard work and dedication, Cologero took time out for family and rest. Two of the three greatest tragedies were burning out, imploding, and wasted talent. Cologero really enjoyed his time at the Academy filled with studying, sports, good food, and poker. No one had the face for it than a determined Italian, no one seen him coming even when they figured him out Cologero had a whole new bag of tricks. When Cologero graduates, there were a lot of people who were glad to be on the same side.

Personal Paradigm Shifts

Most Painful Experience: Woke up in the hospital after a bad accident rock climbing Cologero was made aware that he had a good chance that he would never walk again, at first the news depressed him just like anyone else. With his Family at his side, Cologero started to come around with his inability to give up. While training to walk again Cologero went back to the basics learning how to crawl again strengthening his legs, while he wasn't strengthening his body Cologero studied alot. To get a better understanding on how a person's mind worked, Cologero studied Cognitive Behavior after all he had nothing but time. A nice addition on Cologeros guest list was his team who gave him an autographed football that he cherishes to this day, as a constant reminder that he could accomplish anything he sets his heart to.
Best Time: playing Football with his Brothers and their friends, Cologero was smaller than them, also was nowhere near the skill level they were. No matter how hard he tried they were always better, that just compelled Cologero to try harder. The first time he heard the ball brush the net as it sailed by the goaltender, it was the sweet feeling of success because no one ever took it easy on him.
Most Crucial Experience: Standing at the cross roads Cologero wasn't sure what he was going to do, he was being pulled in all directions. His family was expecting him to be part of the family practice that would lead Cologero to eventually take over, while his team mates wanted him to continue with Football. There was a certain thrill of being infront of a crowd while they go crazy after his team scores a goal, a feeling like none other. Cologero believed that there was no greater tragedy than wasted talent, the big problem was no matter what he does there was going to be wasted talent. Sony who has graced the family table for dinner recognized his struggle would often give an ear for listening and understanding, with that understanding Cologero figured out where his passion really was without Sony saying a word.
