The Founder

Roots and Values

Attached to the land of Burgundy and its values for 45 years, I am married and a father of three children.

25 years in the military

I served 25 years at the heart of the armed forces, initially as a sports educator. I then underwent several training courses that allowed me to become the first expert in Potential Optimization Techniques (TOP®) for the air force. Recognized by all, I was thus able to apply my skills to the benefit of fighter pilots, specialized commandos, and then special forces.

I implemented Dr. Edith PERREAUT’s TOPs at the core of operational activities, adapting complex techniques such as ejection preparation, survival, shooting, and other specific tools during regeneration SAS sessions between 2000 and 2016.

As a TOP leader within the air force, I introduced approximately 3,000 trainees to these tools and trained over 350 TOP « trainers ». These recognized interventions led me to work with the Patrouille de France, special forces (CPA10), the GIGN, the Royal Air Force, as well as all combat squadrons in France. This allowed the TOPs to be deployed in all training and combat theaters: Afghanistan, Libya, India, Iceland, Lithuania, the Sahel-Saharan Strip, Syria.

From Military to Civilian Life

In parallel, I trained in sophrology at the École des Hautes Études de Sophrologie (EDHES) with Dr. Jean-Pierre Hubert starting in 2005. I worked at this school as a sophro-pedagogue until its closure in 2020, as well as for the Master 2 Performance and Sport Psychology program at the University of Dijon and at the Gilles Cometti Performance Expertise Center.

Since 2010, I’ve been supporting a number of national and international sportsmen and women: JDA Dijon – handball and basketball, Stade Français women’s volleyball, as well as individual skiers, swimmers, rugby players, judoka, tennis players, horse riders, Formula 4 and 3 drivers, soccer players… The TOPs have been used by the French wheelchair basketball team, French basketball team players and even French soccer team players.

Starting in 2015, I provided mental support to the JDA wheelchair basketball team, which led me to the Rio Olympic Games and the international tournament in Bali. Subsequently, from 2016 to 2023, I served as the mental coach for the professional JDA team.

Since September 2025, I’ve been responsible for mentally guiding the French men’s ice hockey team through to the Olympic Games in Milan.

A Universal Human Commitment

The friendship of doctors and pediatricians has enabled me to develop pragmatic, easy-to-use tools that have been used in therapeutic education in various associations at the Dijon and Mâcon university hospitals since 2013. These same tools, accessible and humane, help sick children to better accept and manage their care.

My goal is clear: to leverage my experience to serve everyone — athletes, children affected by illness, or anyone seeking to optimize their performance by controlling stress and emotions.

My training allows me to share these unique experiences with you and to transmit my expertise. I will teach you « coping strategies » and help you build self-confidence, thus empowering you to dare.
