Racing paragliding coach

Aside from my main job as government employee for FFVL and with the autorisation of my administration, I am offering services related to paragliding performance and coaching. I have some experience in : Race, Cross Country and Hike and Fly. I write, analyse, coach, guide, assist... Anything helpful to carry your performance project to the next level. It's a side job  but I'm motivated to extend the pool of pilots I usually coach. My ambition is to sow new standards in terms of performance, vision and safety both within and through athletes.

 

Writings

"I had to write something. Not all of us are lucky enough to be full-time paragliding coach. I have the honor of assisting dozens of highly motivated and athletically gifted young people with their projects, and of having an office inside my own competition harness to do so. For this reason, I realized very early on that writing and passing on my knowledge was an obligation. Let's say it's my way of apologizing for my privileged status. I feel I have a duty to contribute something to a wider audience than just the usual group of “my little ones.” Because I have been paid to study, research, and develop the theoretical side of competitive paragliding, and because there is no reason why the fruits of this labor should not serve the common good. I am thinking in particular of all the pilots who will not have the luxury of a personal coach at their disposal. They are the majority."
