Who said that the champions were inaccessible to the sportsman of Sunday?
An unprecedented digital platform, MyCoach TV, offers the general public advice on how to properly practice their favorite sport with video tutorials from great French athletes and experts.
Among them, Hugo Lloris, the captain of the French football team.
“Among other things, I refer to moments in my career, for example what I was able to experience at 8-9 years old, without a glove, to learn to feel the contact of the ball.
Today, we have high quality equipment, but the basis is knowing how to use your hands, ”says the goalkeeper of the Blues.
Compete with Anglo-Saxon behemoths
The international rugby player Romain Ntamack, the world champion of surfing Pauline Ado, the former coach of the Blues, Raymond Domenech, the Zidane Five Club, the swimmer Camille Lacourt or the Olympic rider Pierre Durand are also present in this five-star cast, accessible on the web or smartphone by subscription (from 14.90 to 49 euros per year). "We have 20 athletes and experts in 14 disciplines, 20 more will join us for 2,000 tutorials available", rejoices Cédric Messina.
The founder and boss of the start-up from Nice, MyCoach, known for its training management application used by federations and many professional clubs, is thinking big with “this strategic investment” of 2 million euros: to become “the reference in France ”for the sports educational council in the run-up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. All this while competing, if possible, with the Anglo-Saxon behemoths thanks to a simple and effective recipe.

"The message of the video must be clear and precise, that it has this ability to be understood by a young or old with the concern of supporting and transmitting," said Hugo Lloris.
The footballer, who has supported the company since its creation, even thinks of following the advice of other pros on the platform: “Maybe padel tennis,” he confides.
What is good about this project is that sports are diverse and I love sport above all else!
