- Clean handovers between coaches and seasons
As a boy, I coxed my father’s wooden eight on the Seine on Sundays. Rowing taught me what matters most: a boat only moves when everyone pulls in the same direction, at the same rhythm.
Elite sport taught me precision. I still apply to myself everything I offer: every session is measured, my training zones are set from a lab test, my recovery is tracked every day. But no plan can be copied. I start from what is specific to me, my profile, my context, to adapt and calibrate every parameter as precisely as possible. Performance is always one of a kind. I read the research, I watch the best, and I keep only what holds up in the field. Data informs. I decide.
In 2024, rowing brought me to French Polynesia: I came to work for Polynesian rowing. I rebuilt everything from scratch, with one wish: to learn. The language, the customs, the way people live together. A Tahitian family opened its door to me. With them, I understood what “feti’i” means: a family that doesn’t stop at blood.
Working in child protection in Papeete, I learned that a good decision always starts with listening.
NATI grew out of all this. Connecting the field and the decision, data and people, French Polynesia and the rest of the world. With the rigour of elite sport, and a heart that belongs here.
