Préparation mentale expertises

Mental Preparation Training

Every year, many organizations request expertise in mental preparation or sports performance psychology. My schedule doesn’t allow me to respond to these requests, but I continue to collaborate with pleasure on the University Diploma in Mental Preparation at the University of Clermont-Ferrand in Auvergne, France.

Like last year, I agreed to evaluate several dissertations and also to act as an evaluator during the oral exams. While this requires a certain commitment, it allows me to interact with other competent experts.

Sports Psychology

Since 2016, I have continued to work for CASPY, the psychological center of the CAPS (Sports Performance Support Center), where I work with promising athletes and high-level athletes recognized by the ADEPS (French Sports Association).

I have also continued my activities since 2003 for Psychosport, where I receive requests from athletes and clubs (in various sports).

I also collaborate with the Belgian Olympic Committee.

I will be speaking soon for a conference on tennis

Mental training for tennis

Tennis is a demanding sport requiring good control of oneself and one’s body to develop technically but also to repeat training performances in matchesConcentration is essential on each point and it is not uncommon to be disturbed by the score or the stakes of an important point, or by a defeat which could influence subsequent matches.

Self-confidence is also of course essential, but the psycho-bodily aspects are just as essential, in training but also in matches. The alternation of relaxation and intensity to be put into the ball are not so easy to acquire, and it is not uncommon for muscle control to be disrupted by stress, especially in important points. The mental coach is there to train techniques aimed at strengthening confidence, attentional skillscombativeness, but also “switch” and psycho-corporal control.
