My method? Become aware of everything I’ve done in my preparation with a simple “checklist”. It allows me to gain confidence in the elements I have control and on what I have based my preparation.

As a two-time Olympic champion, Alexandre is well placed to bear witness to the importance of mental strength in athletic success. According to him, the same strength and determination is required to be able to succeed in any field and especially in business.
The hard work and determination that allowed Alexandre to make Olympic history, allows him to excel in his new favorite field: the demanding world of finance. Competition in business is fierce, and the obstacles are numerous, as are the failures.
Through this conference, Alexandre proposes you to be entrepreneurs and business people inspired by the same high performance regimen as elite athletes to achieve success at the highest levels.
The Discipline
Champions come to training with one goal in mind: to be the best they can be. To reach the top of the podium, you have to stand out, surpass yourself, train hard and above all, believe in your mental and physical abilities. “You are only as good as your next deal.”
Failure
Failure is a necessary step towards success. It is by falling that champions learn, improve, hone and adjust. “Knowing how to get back up is the key to success.”
Respect for the team
No champion can claim to have won an Olympic medal by itself. Team respect is essential. “Knowing how to surround yourself is knowing how to win.”
