Why did you become a coach?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBasically, I did it to see if I understood the training I was doing. And in 2007, my childhood friend, Gregory Occin, asked me to train for his season. From there, it became a passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you follow a training program or did your excellent background and track record allow you to acquire this status without problems?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I currently hold a DESJEPS (Dipl\u00f4me d'Etat Sup\u00e9rieur de la Jeunesse, de l'\u00e9ducation Populaire et du Sport), in the specialty of jumping. I will soon validate my sprint\/hurdles diploma...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The relationship between a coach and his athlete is essential because it can influence the athlete's performance. do you sometimes disagree with one of your athletes? how do you react in these cases?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, disagreements allow for the confrontation of ideas, thoughts, plans, and to create, if necessary, a rethink. My goal is to make the athlete understand the plan I have put in place and the different steps of it, and to reassure him\/her as well. But I also need to listen to him, to show empathy, in order to be in phase with his feelings and find the best solution for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if I tell you, \"the athlete works with his coach, not for his coach\", what do you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would even say: He works for HIM, ALONE, under the guidance of the coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if I say to you, \"a disciplined athlete reflects his coach, what do you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI don't necessarily agree, but it's understandable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The question on everyone's mind is, \"Why are you coaches so sadistic?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadists is a big word. Let's say... Perfectionists. The athlete calls the coach to be the manager of his career. As a result, the coach does his best to prepare a sharp plan on all points (physical, technical and psychological). The coach's demands can hurt, but failure can kill...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is there anything important you've learned as a coach that you didn't know when you were a professional athlete?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The athlete doesn't have stress compared to the coach, in the big events. And athletes are annoying, so I had to be x1000 because of my character.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
