(3) Audit of sports clubs or organizations: Finance and accounting; Organization and governance; Legal and administrative; Sports strategy and results; Operations and infrastructure.

(4) Head coach or staff member specializing in one of our areas of expertise for a national or youth national handball team.

(5) Use of our "Training Pilot" application to organize performance and support your staff: this could be a club looking to help a coach manage their planning without hiring a full-time strength and conditioning coach, or assisting staff (head coaches, strength and conditioning coaches) in planning and managing training loads. The mobile application serves as a tool for tracking and managing the entire planning process, right through to session design (particularly for physical conditioning).

(6) We provide hands-on support for players or medical staff during training camps. Specializing in athletic rehabilitation, we are accustomed to working with injured athletes and helping them recondition their bodies to meet the specific demands of their sport ; particularly handball. Our approach is sport-specific and focuses on the progressive application of physical loads.

(7) Handball referee management : Between 2019 and 2024, the CEO led the PSG Handball refereeing academy, transforming it from a minimal operation with just eight referees into a cohesive organization of over 40 referees ; ranging from youth to adult levels ; making it one of the largest club structures of its kind. This role encompassed strategic oversight, administrative management, coordination of match assignments, leadership, referee training, and performance monitoring, including the establishment of a support team for the referees. The CEO also officiated matches for around a decade, reaching the national level in France.

We complement existing staff and tailor our approach to their specific needs; our goal is to assist them in making decisions, selecting options, and ensuring precision ; ultimately, the staff makes the final call, while we provide support.

For instance, when conducting video analysis, we generate vast amounts of data and results; drawing on our knowledge of the sport, we formulate tactical proposals. Since there is rarely just one possible outcome, we present options to the staff and decide on the match strategy together, while also establishing shared standards for our day-to-day collaboration.

Our aim is not to replace your in-house expertise, but rather to leverage our specialized skills to help optimize your staff.

We play a role in ensuring consistency, providing a high-level external perspective, and helping coaches, medical teams, and performance staff translate strategy into concrete, coordinated actions.

The price obviously depends on your needs and the exact details of the services we will define together.

There are numerous advantages for your organization in working with us rather than hiring an employee: our expertise, a team-based approach that eliminates reliance on a single individual, an all-inclusive price (with no additional social security contributions or payroll taxes), and commercial contracts tailored to your specific needs and schedules.

For example, if your organization uses our video analysis services, you will not have to pay us during periods when there are no matches ; such as international breaks, summer holidays, the year-end break, etc.

As an indication, for video analysis, the preparation of one match within a competition week generally represents a budget of €1,000 to €1,250 incl. VAT. This fee notably includes the breakdown and analysis of the opponent’s three most recent matches, the selection of the most relevant data and video sequences, and the preparation of a complete presentation combining key clips, performance data and strategic elements to support match preparation. The service also includes the analysis of the match played and a post-match performance review of your team, in order to identify the key points to retain and integrate into the following week’s preparation.
Full details of this service are available in our Video Analysis section.
