Avant athl\u00e8te, et maintenant coach. C\u2019\u00e9tait une \u00e9vidence pour toi d\u2019acqu\u00e9rir cette nouvelle casquette ? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor others yes, but not especially for me. The revelation came from an external point of view. A dear friend, Pierre Arnould, had offered me to coach young people and I accepted. My former coach looked at me and always told me that I would become a good coach because I had a good pedagogy. It's cool to see that in the end, what my entourage saw in me actually came true. Today I love what I do too much. One thing led to another and I reached the level of national coach and I thank my athletes for giving me the opportunity to coach them, but also my ex-wife who had to put up with me all this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le coronavirus a entrain\u00e9 la suppression des comp\u00e9titions. Les entrainements d\u2019hiver se sont annonc\u00e9s difficiles, voire impossible pour certains. Comment as-tu g\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00e7a en tant que coach? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCommunication. And that's as true in this sport as it is in all areas of life. We have been able to communicate between coaches, to find solutions so that our athletes continue to progress. Without that, it's hard to find the balance between the athlete and the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also know that athletics is a very mental sport. With the Corona, did you set up a technique to keep your athletes from giving up? Or was your usual way of working sufficient? I am thinking in particular of my coach who put me back on 100m\/200m instead of 400m from January, in order to preserve my mental health as I had been training alone since September. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI haven't changed anything. In fact, I often make feedbacks<\/em> with my athletes, which allows me to know how they feel. The athletes naturally confide in me, so again, communication is the key. But it is clear that the mental follow-up of the athletes is very important. In Switzerland, there were two waves of confinement so the system was a little different. The first wave had a bigger impact because the sites were closed. Since last June, training is back to normal with some subtleties. But honestly my athletes have been fine with it. They continue to train and see their own evolution, which motivates them. What is more complicated is the fact that some can compete while others cannot... So we have to manage that. And by the way, this season, competitions were not even in the center of our conversations during the training sessions. To say how much fun we were having in training. <\/p>\n\n\n\nD\u2019ailleurs, il est vrai que le r\u00f4le de coach est tr\u00e8s influant dans la vie d\u2019un athl\u00e8te. Un athl\u00e8te disciplin\u00e9 refl\u00e8te son coach en r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Question un peu tabou\u2026 Est-ce que selon toi, lorsqu\u2019on athl\u00e8te est confirm\u00e9 dop\u00e9, se focaliser sur la d\u00e9cision de l\u2019athl\u00e8te est suffisant, ou en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 devrions-nous remonter \u00e0 la source ? C\u2019est \u00e0 dire\u2026 le coach ? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The athlete will always be primarily responsible, since he or she is the one who makes the decision to dop. Now it is true that the fault does not lie one hundred percent with him if he was influenced, but the athlete remains the main culprit. I have a friend who told me the other day that one of his athletes tested positive for doping. He told me so naturally, with a certain distance because, as a coach, we are not entirely responsible for the decisions our athletes make. It's like a child. He's going to do something stupid that you can't always see or control, despite the fact that you're his parent. Or in this case, his coach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tu m\u2019as dit que tu allais partir en stage. Comment cela s\u2019est-il pass\u00e9 ? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are still in training in Turkey. In December, we planned everything, organized everything so that it remained only to have the authorization to leave and as soon as we obtained it, we packed our bags. Here in Turkey everything is going very well. I am surrounded by medal-winning athletes, athletes with a great track record. There is the Dutch relay, the Borlees, Patricia Mamona, Nafissatou Thiam, Mutaz Barshim... In short, a lot of heavyweight athletes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quelles sont tes objectifs au niveau performance pour tes athl\u00e8tes, cette saison outdoor? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI have an athlete who is developing well and we are aiming high. We are aiming for the top 8 in the world in high jump for the Olympic Games, if not better... Otherwise, in general, with my athletes we focus on the national championships. The meetings will be enough to validate their already felt progress. I can't wait for the summer, finally!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
