A human and global approach to physical preparation

My vision of physical preparation is based on listening and being open-minded. Each athlete is unique, with his or her own objectives, needs, desires and career plan. It’s essential to precisely define their needs and constraints, taking into account their individuality and their environment (family, coaches, medical staff, etc.).

I see physical preparation as a global project, where the athlete doesn’t develop alone, but as part of a team. My role is to mobilise the right resources and use the right tools for each situation. With 25 years’ experience, I have built up a solid frame of reference, while remaining attentive to new methods and the latest scientific studies. My approach is always guided by a critical spirit, in order to propose the most effective strategies.

Physical preparation isn’t just about raw performance: it has to be a human adventure, a time for sharing and exchanging ideas, where we work together towards the goals we’ve set, always with passion and high standards.

MY APPROACH TO HIGH LEVEL

Top-level sport requires a holistic approach, where performance is not just about physical training. For me, it’s all about understanding the athlete’s physical, mental, emotional, family, social, cultural and spiritual dimensions.
The key to progress lies in adaptability. A good training programme must be able to adjust to fluctuations in training and competition schedules, motivation or unforeseen circumstances. My aim is to optimise each individual’s potential, whether in the short term (one session) or the long term (several years).

‘Above all, it’s a human adventure with Sébastien. He knew me when I was very young and has been with me throughout my career. We always discuss what we need to do, what we need to focus on to reach our next goal. His approach is very different from anything else, combining listening, precision and a global vision of performance’.
Grigor Dimitrov
‘When Sébastien Durand arrived at the academy as a young coach, he immediately stood out for his commitment and expertise. Over the years, he has become a key part of our structure, bringing innovative methods and exemplary rigour to the physical preparation of our players. His exacting standards, combined with a deep understanding of the needs of top-level athletes, have contributed to many of our successes. His professionalism and passion have left their mark on the academy’.
Patrick Mouratoglou
‘I have a global approach with Sébastien. We don’t just do Ice-Cross, and we don’t just stop at physical preparation. Sébastien is in contact with all my staff, which means there’s real consistency in my training and my progress. He’s the pillar of the team, always there to adjust, advise and optimise every detail so that I’m in top form.’
