Je me suis essayé à beaucoup de sports collectifs. Petit, c’était le football ! Puis, un célèbre numéro 23 m’a attiré, entraîné vers le basket, puis ce fut le volley. J’aimais la beauté de ces sports et surtout leurs ballets de sauts. En déménageant à Toulouse pour des études de Chimie, j’ai eu un vrai coup de cœur pour ce qui est resté ma grande passion : le rugby. C’est aussi, à Toulouse que j’ai découvert le handball, sport roi dans les universités françaises et qui partage avec le rugby, la même recherche de l’intervalle.

Les sports individuels ne m’ont jamais attiré, j’aimais partager les victoires, les défaites, la difficulté d’un entraînement, atteindre quelque chose que je ne pourrai viser seul. Certes, j’aimais m’entraîner seul, acquérir plus de technique, répéter les gestes pour plus de maîtrise, plus de réflexes mais en pensant à l’aventure, aux résultats d’une équipe.

Cela me guide encore beaucoup aujourd’hui dans ma vie de coach. J’accorde beaucoup d’importance à l’équipe qui est au service d’un produit, d’un service : beaucoup d’importance aux interactions au sein de l’équipe, au cadre mis en place ou à mettre en place.

I spent several years working in large companies in different areas (business development, marketing, sourcing, organization, digital innovation) measuring myself in different fields, from software simulation and validation, to strategic sourcing and finally to organizational methodologies. In these experiences I was able to put into practice what I learned in my studies and learn new things using my ability to see and my propensity to think out of the box. Now is the time to help companies improve themselves by providing them with an external, competent and sometimes visionary, point of view. That's why I decided to take care of companies, and even before the people who make them live, from outside as a consultant.
