About Me

I’m 32 years old.

15 years of experience coaching tennis at different levels, including as a performance coach for the French Tennis Federation and high-performance work on the ITF tour, with both male and female players. I also worked as a perfomance coach and head coach in high performance academies in France.

My passion is helping and guiding players to achieve their goals. I build the high-performance structure around the player – managing the team, setting the vision, and adjusting everything needed to support performance.

I also played for 15 years myself, mostly competing in national French tournaments, with some ITF tournaments in France, Spain, Belgium, and Australia. I know what it’s like to travel, manage a budget, deal with the schedule, and handle the mental side of competing.

I’ve been a certified mental coach since 2022, with a sport psychology certificate from the University of Clermont Auvergne. I grew up training in Normandy, France, and I’m fluent in French and English.

Experience

15 years coaching, all levels – beginners to ITF/ATP/WTA pros.

Coached an ITF pro player who won an ITF 15k title in doubles and was named Player of the Year in his US college conference. Also worked with several other ITF pro players, helping them gain ATP points at 15k and 25k level.

For 2 years I was head coach at TeamPerfAcademy, in Normandy, France. Worked with a female player with a career-high WTA ranking of 1043, as well as university elite players (10-12 UTR). This year I trained ATP/WTA players ranked between 500 and 1000 ATP/WTA at Smashit tennis center near Paris, France.

On tour – I worked 3 years as a private travel coach with a player who reached ATP 1074 in singles and 1170 in doubles, traveling to ITF tournaments. Handled the logistics, the budget, the schedule, and was basically the player’s main contact on the road – coach and manager at the same time. I also trained alongside Christian Filhol, who coached top 10 WTA players in singles and doubles – intensity, commitment to the ball, tactical understanding of the game, that’s where a lot of my approach comes from.

My coaching mixes technical/tactical work with mental routines – goal setting, video analysis, visualization, breathing.
