Talks & Appearances.
I regularly take part in professional conversations, podcasts, exchanges or webinars — often recorded for specialized sport sciences or coaching platforms or international performance networks.
Unlike my formal GDAwareness interventions , these talks are more about sharing ideas, exchanging perspectives, and opening the door to how I work.
They’re a great first step into my universe — a way to open conversations, share insights, and reflect on key topics like team functioning, leadership, or group dynamics with a broader audience.
A great first step into my universe.
Applied Articles.
I regularly write applied articles aimed at coaches, staff, and practitioners working in high-performance environments.
For me, these articles hold just as much value as scientific publications — not because they follow the same standards of peer review, but because they are accessible, visible, and directly usable by those who shape the reality of teams every day.
It allows me to translate complex concepts into concrete, actionable ideas.
Writing in this format is something I truly enjoy. It allows me to translate complex concepts into concrete, actionable ideas — and to contribute to the broader conversation on group dynamics and team functioning.
Research.
I have over eight years of experience in academic research, during which I participated in around ten sport psychology conferences, shared my work in several leading research labs around the world (Australia, USA, Canada, Spain…) and published eight peer-reviewed articles.
I have over eight years of experience in academic research.
Most of my scientific work has focused on the management and impact of cultural diversity in high-performance sport teams — the core topic of my PhD.
My doctoral research was supervised by two leading figures in sport psychology: Jean-Philippe Heuzé (Université Grenoble Alpes, France) and Luc Martin (Queen’s University, Canada). I defended my thesis in 2022 at the training center of Olympique Lyonnais, symbol of my commitment to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
While I continue to publish more broadly on group dynamics in elite sport, I remain convinced that managing team functioning is, at its core, about managing diversity — making my work on cultural diversity still highly relevant for coaches, staff and leaders.

I had the chance to work with Manon during her PhD and beyond. What she’s able to generate is both incredibly human and rigorously structured — a rare ability to bridge theory and practice.
