Parlons technique!
Aujourd’hui, je partage avec toi une idée qui n’est pas conventionnelle: il n’y a pas de modèle de “bonne technique”, il y a une infinité de techniques possibles et c’est à toi de trouver ce qui est naturel pour toi.

01:06 ta technique est différente sur chaque balle
01:23 pas de modèle de “bonne technique”!
03:05 trouver ta technique 1: ta posture
03:26 trouver ta technique 2: relâchement et respiration
04:12 trouver ta technique 3: côté long – côté court, et inversement

The link for the course in English is here: https://www.ready2perform.com/breathwork How it started I7 years ago I came across a road […]

This is a great exercise just before a tennis match or a stressful event. Not only you will be calmer, it will also help you to relax.

https://www.ready2perform.com/breathwork

Dans cette vidéo tu apprends un exercice simple et efficace pour commencer à mieux respirer, valable pour tout le monde.
L’idée derrière est de moins respirer, d’accepter plus le CO2 dans ton organisme, et du coup d’améliorer les échanges gazeux tout en étant moins stressé!

Cet exercice fait partie de mon cours Maîtrise ta Respiration, que tu peux retrouver ici:

In this video, excerpt from my course Breathwork for tennis, you will find a path to train yourself to be in the Flow in Tennis.
Part1: off the court with a breathing technique of your choice.
Part 2: on the court
Part 3, 4, 5…etc: with more and more challenges.

As a result, you become more focused in the moment, aware, relaxed and able to make the right choice at the right time.

I have added 2 videos linked at the end, if you’d like to go deeper on the topic of being in the flow:
– Roger Federer, in the flow under pressure: some inspiration, you can look at his face, he is in the moment, no emotion, making the right choice right movement, I find it beautiful:
https://youtu.be/25X-ZK7eOck
– On a more spiritual note, for your life, I find this video of Teal Swan very instructive on how to be in the flow during your day, many valuable ideas that I haven’t found elsewhere. You can see that number 6 (if I remember correctly, is about having a practice to train yourself to be present (like meditation and breath training), so we are on the same wave for this:

This is an excerpt from my video course Breathwork. I intend to respond to the question “how can I improve my focus and cognitive functions?”, with breathing exercises.

I share 3 main ideas:
1: we need to first decide to focus and stop any distraction. Probably the most challenging step.
1B (not in the video): reminding ourselves the kind of person we intend to be. This does help me.
3: engage in a breathing exercise to change our state. Different possibilities here, see video.

And you, any tip to help you being more focused?

00:22 Focus means removing distractions (including your phone!)
01:08 Think like a tennis pro: what is my ideal state to perform?
01:45 breathing technique if I need more energy
02:00 breathing technique if I’m too excited
02:27 breathing technique if I need both energy and calm
02:45 breathing technique to get more clarity
03:39 during the action, keep connected with your breathing

“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” Brad Metzer Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant had the same one.  Michael Phelps had one.

I’ve just finished an intense 3 week training period with Ronan, a 19 year old tennis player. At the end of it, we were discussing on how he could continue on his wave of improvements. This is when I remembered about the saying “you are the average person of the 5 people you spend the […]

I ve learned this drill from Guillaume Peyre when he was coaching Marcos Baghdatis. He told me he learned it from Bob Brett when he was coaching Boris Becker. So, this is not a new drill!

The goal is to have the same toss all the time so that your opponent cannot read it.

Enjoy.

27-29 Dec 2019: Ready For Your Battle, workshop with Lioudmila Jardini Skavronskaia & Benoit Foucher.

While our first course is about developing your potential and play as good in matches than in practice, this one is about what to do when things don’t work.

Key word: #courage

Courage to calm down in between the points vs getting upset
Courage to install your breathing during the points vs holding it
Courage to move better vs frenzy mode or paralysis
Courage to look for solutions vs remaining emotional
Courage to encourage yourself vs giving up

We’ve now set up the basis of your mindset training. When you apply this, you got what’s necessary to be a top performer.

And now is the time for the courage to integrate all these tools.

Keep going guys, thanks Lioudmila and Elena for helping me.

Congratulations to Eliot, Ronan, Sebastien and Gatien for your efforts.

Step by step

Quelques points à te rappeler:
Yin:
– relaxation shaking
– rhythme 1-2 ou 1-2-3
Yang:
– brace pour eviter fuites d’energie et generer plus de puissance, avant de relacher.
– Apprends le kettlebell Clean & Press (trouve un instructeur Strongfirst sur strongfirst.fr) et Snatch (quelques mois de swings d’abord)
Personnalisation:
– soit tu sers dos au filet
– soit de face
Generer de la puissance va être différent suivant les deux cas.

I have a profound respect for those who live their sports’ dreams, and when it’s my wife, even more!..and we even have, as she put it, some drama queen talking:)
I love you Elena. So fun, and inspiring, too!

Confidence is a funny beast. As I wrote in my new book “The Confidence Journey”, passing the certification of Kettlebell with Strongfirst level 1 (SFG 1) in 2016 was far from easy for me. I see that Confidence works as a continuum. First we understand something in our training. Then we get Confident at it […]

This shows a session made with one of the players I had the honor to coach.
The goal is to help him being faster on the tennis court, using athletic drills.

From this video, we’ve looked at some points of observation:

– posture: not leaning back, not with shoulders rolling forward either
– relaxing shoulders
– placing the feet under the pelvis, not too much in front
– using the foot, “armed” before landing vs tensing

May this inspire you to look at the details and how you can improve too!

This is an extract example of what Pavel Tsatsouline taught us in his Strong Endurance seminar.
Really good for intermittent sports like tennis.
Please note Arthur s technique for swings is not perfect, so we ll need to polish this otherwise there would be risk for injuries (most likely low back and maybe his neck as well).
And ideally we would have a kettlebell that corresponds to each of us’s strength.
Enjoy!

More about me: www.BenoitFoucher.com

When I was an ATP tennis professional traveling around the world, I had one core idea in mind: winning. And when I realized I was struggling quite hard to be successful, this deep desire to be better pushed me to look at places noone in my entourage had some experience: NLP, sophrology (kind of relaxation), […]

Warnings: this long article is written from my perspective at this moment. Meaning a heterosexual white man who has awakened to some of his stuff, and surely not all. Also, by real man, I mean someone who’s fully authentic, courageous, real, integral. Finally, by no means I mean that if someone is gay and black […]

Next week I’m going to South Africa for 2 major reasons related to my goals and dreams. The first one is to attend to a New Warrior Training by the Mankind Project. Great teachers are great students I believe, and I’m very glad to learn and experience with other men whatever is on my plate! […]

We can, if we dare, think about what we really want, what’s essential for us. We can also, if we dare, act from this impulse, this life beat, and enjoy doing what makes us sparkle. Living our values is one of the basics in coaching, and yet most probably one of the most profound exercise […]

  1 Month ago I came across this video interview. After watching it, I was inspired by both the interviewer Marie Forleo and intervieweeee Adam Braun! So much authenticity in their relationship. So much desire to make a difference, and already being very successful from my standards.   Right after, I subscribed to the channel […]

David Lynch has his way of explaining the power of meditation. Inspiring. Useful. Powerful.

We all have moments of doubts when we are about to do something outside of comfort zone. As I’m about to launch a new version of this website, I’ve had these moments yesterday that I captured in this post. Thought some other people can find this relevant. I’m here sitting in front of my computer. […]

As a tennis professional, I’ve learned by experience how essential finding the posture that corresponds to me, the rhythm in which I walk in between points, the way I breathe, the way I watch my environment, have all an impact on my confidence level and performance. Moreover it had an impact on my opponent, and […]

Whether you are a tennis player or someone who seeks for being more in shape, starting your program with injury prevention is a wise idea. (re)gaining mobility, fluidity and stability in your movements before adding loads. I show you how in this video. Ask questions below if necessary, I’ll be happy to answer.

Life can be messy, extraordinary, joyful, comfortable, boring… well, absolutely anything we want it to be. I’ve been reminded recently how painful life could be. And when I’ve watched the video of Oprah and J.K Rowling as stated in my previous post, I’ve decided to share a bit of what I’ve learned when I did […]

I don’t cry often, and this morning it happened twice. I remember someone saying that when we are touched, it means our soul is telling us something big is happening. Cool. The first video shows Mandela and the South African rugby team’s victory in the World Cup 1995. Having sport reuniting a nation, and being […]

You want to get fit? First get out of injury, and prevent the possibility to get any. You’ll feel better. You’ll gain amplitude and ease in your movements, and then you’ll be set to work hard and access your potential for your optimal performances.
3 parts in this video:
part 1: release tensions
part 2: getting more mobility
part 3: stabilizing your shoulder

This program is advised to be made all year long for tennis players, and by periods of 3-5 weeks for those of you who want to stay injury free.

The Real Competition Your opponent on the tennis court is not your enemy. Nor your competitor in your business. Nor “the other men” who are doing their best to date the same woman you desire. Actually, there is even no opponent, no competition and definitely no enemy outside ourselves. Does this mean there are competitions […]

Giving our best. Being our best. Mastering our minds, because there is something bigger than our discomfort. Beyond challenges and when we give our best, there is our Self smiling of contentment. This Nike commercial shows a great deal of it. Enjoy.    

Mongolia, October 2013. I’m with my younger sister, not knowing exactly why, just knowing there has been a deep calling to follow her when she mentioned she wanted to come here. We’re now inside the car, traveling with our guide and driver through the land. Every 30 minutes or so, the horizon changes totally with […]

Coming back from a trip in Mongolia, I was telling a friend how easy it was there to connect with myself because the land is so vast and there are no distractions, at all. In fact, living without internet, which means no social media, no email, no news, has been experienced like a treat. This […]

There is rhythm in everything for those who look for performance and ease. In tennis, there is a moment to inhale when you prepare a shot, and a moment to exhale with the ball; a moment to take your time in between points, and a moment to go for it full blast; a moment to […]

As I wrote in my previous post about the Creation of the Life you want, once you have created your Vision and moved towards it with your action plan, it’s important to let go about the way your Vision is going to be shaped. The truth is: we don’t know how it’s going to work! […]

This post refers to 2 books. If you want to buy them, go to this page. The Secret*, film and book written by Rhonda Byrne in 2006, became a huge best-seller around the globe and has had an impact on many people’s lives: suddenly science and spirituality were agreeing on the power of our minds. […]

One principle for a great life is to create a Vision, goals that support this Vision, actions that goes in line with this Vision…and then let go of any expectation about how this Vision will appear! How paradoxical it seems to be, isn’t it? Well, what are the alternatives for creating whatever you want: no […]

My first Video, aimed to assist tennis players, at the same time it’s for the comfort and prevention of everyone who want to feel good in their bodies.

I believe as men, maybe because of testosterone, maybe because of the Human Evolution (after all, guys, we were all hunters a few thousand years ago), we have this deep desire to achieve, to attain, to succeed…in something! Whether this is to support your soccer team, to make millions, provide for our family, build more […]

 “What do you want Benoit?” This was the first question my coach Ronan asked me when we started to work together. I was a tennis professional at that time, and was struggling quite a bit mentally to be consistent in my results, and more particularly I had the habit to lose matches after having had […]

SOME HABITS FEEL GOOD TO HAVE, SOME NOT SO MUCH… LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR CHALLENGES TODAY. When my job was to travel all over the world competing with my racket, and I had an uncontrollable mental struggle going on at the end of many matches.
