YOUTH ATHLETE COACHING — LAUSANNE
One coach. Multiple sports.
A generation that grows up strong.
Beyond basketball, I coach kids and teens in the sport they love — football, hockey, athletics. Athletic fundamentals are universal: speed, strength, coordination, mindset. My pro player experience at the service of Lausanne's youth.
MY PHILOSOPHY
Every young athlete deserves coaching tailored to them.
After more than 10 years as a pro player, I learned one thing: the best progress comes when you take the time to do things right.
With young athletes, it's no different — actually more so. At 10, 13 or 16, the body learns fast — but it needs the right foundations. No shortcuts, no overload. Just good work, done well, with enjoyment and high standards.
"I don't coach future champions. I coach young people who love sport and want to become the best version of themselves. The rest follows."
Technique & Fundamentals
Every sport has its key movements. We work on them step by step, with repetition and correction, to build a solid base that holds up under pressure.
Physical Preparation
Strength, speed, mobility, endurance — adapted to age and growth stage. No overload, just the right stimulus at the right time.
Mindset & Confidence
Learning to handle setbacks, channel emotions, and build self-confidence. Sport as a school of life.
Fun & Motivation
Without enjoyment, no lasting progress. We keep the drive at the center — challenges, games, progressive goals so each session makes them want to come back.
SPORTS COACHED
Four sports, one method.
Each discipline has its specifics, but the fundamentals stay the same: movement, strength, speed, mindset. I coach with the same standards, whatever the sport.
Passing technique, ball control, speed, game reading and physical prep adapted to young footballers. Specific work on agility with and without the ball.
- Agility & change of direction
- Reaction speed

Explosiveness, balance, conditioning and specific work for young hockey players. Core and stability training on ice and off ice.
- Explosive starts
- Balance & proprioception
- Lower-body strength
Sprint, jump, coordination and movement fundamentals to perform in every discipline. The athletic base that carries over to every sport.

Fundamentals, game IQ, shooting, defense — coached by a pro player with 10+ years of experience. Technique and mindset serving performance.
- Ball-handling fundamentals

AGE GROUPS
Adapted to every stage of growth.
A 9-year-old doesn't learn like a 16-year-old. I build every program around the athlete's age, development stage and goals.
Joy of movement, coordination, universal athletic fundamentals. Learning to run, jump, throw — properly.
Sport-specific technique, structured physical prep begins. The teen becomes aware of their body and their progress.
Performance, advanced strength & conditioning, competitive mindset. Preparation for tryouts, camps, and high-level play.

PARENT QUESTIONS
What you're probably wondering.
My child has never done structured sport — is that a problem?
Not at all. I meet every young athlete where they are. Beginners often have the best progress curve — everything to build, no bad habits to correct.
Where do the sessions take place?
Outdoors in Lausanne and surroundings (courts, parks, stadiums) or indoors depending on the sport and season. I adapt to your location.
My child already trains in a club — does this conflict?
On the contrary. Coaching perfectly complements club training: we reinforce weak points, prepare physically, and work on aspects the club doesn't have time to dig into individually.
Is this only for those aiming for elite level?
No. Whether your child dreams of high-level play or simply wants to progress and gain confidence, the coaching adapts. The first goal is for them to grow through sport.
Ready to boost your child's progress?
Whether your child plays football, hockey, athletics or basketball, I coach with seriousness, care and high standards. The goal: that they progress in their sport, gain confidence, and learn to love the effort.
