About Me

Hello everyone, my name is Jerome, I am 34 years old, and I have been living in Hong Kong since 2012. I come from a family of 7 children, and I am the youngest. I am married and a father of two children. I was educated in the Paris region, in the 92nd district. I went through several different schools between Sainte Geneviève d'Asnières and Jean-Baptiste Clément in Colombes. So, by taking a step back, it immediately gives a certain openness to life.
 
I played high-level football for 15 years, both in France and in Hong Kong. And for the last few years, after quitting football, I have taken up trail running and triathlon. One of my goals in the next 10 years is to win a short-distance trail race and finish an Ironman.
 
In terms of education, I have several diplomas in sports, I have a high school diploma in Management Sciences, and several other training courses, including football coach, Coaching, Reiki, Meditation, DISC, etc.
 
I have also worked in many industries, such as the assembly line, as a coach, arborist, educator, Decathlon salesman, charcuterie salesman, lifeguard, animator, and I also work in a stud farm.
 
When I arrived in Hong Kong 11 years ago, I started working in the food industry as a distributor of French and Australian products. I was fortunate to have various responsibilities. First as a salesman, then as a brand manager, and finally as a team manager. It was a great experience.
 
After this experience, three events happened that concretely changed my life. The first is that for three years we had been trying to have a child with my wife, but it wasn't working. In football, despite a promotion to the Macao Ligue 1, things weren't going well, and at work, I had a very frank discussion with my boss at the time, telling him that I couldn't take it anymore. He shared with me that he had made a mistake in putting me in that position. It turns out that it was difficult to accept, but it was one of the factors that makes me so happy today. And I am grateful to him.
 
One month after my resignation, my wife became pregnant.
 
For the past three years, I have been a Coach, transforming people with tools such as self-knowledge, values, goals, mindset and vision to have a positive impact around me.
 
I work with individuals and teams on the fact of putting structure in their lives.
 
I also have a small football school called Lantau Beach Soccer Academy for 2 years.
 
One of the reasons I left France is that I felt I couldn't become what I really wanted to be, and there was a certain social pressure. And so, I had the opportunity thanks to my dear uncle. He will be pleased that I share this, he will recognize himself.
 
My journey so far has always been driven by opportunities and the dreams I've always wanted to realize. And so far, I've realized a few of them, including signing a professional football contract, starting a family. I truly believe that we are all capable of realizing our dreams.
 
With this blog, channel, I have the opportunity, thanks to two exceptional people, a director and a project manager, to share my life, the way I see things as a dad, an entrepreneur and a man. The idea is really to share how to improve the three aspects of one's life and find a great balance.
 
It is also a way for me to get out of my comfort zone and show that through collaboration, creation, teamwork, and consistency, we can really achieve exceptional things.

    I've spent over a decade in Asia, initially as a professional football player in France and Hong Kong. In early 2020, I faced personal and work-related challenges, including fertility issues and work-related stress, prompting me to reassess my priorities.

    I decided to refocus on what truly mattered to me, quitting football, achieving athletic milestones, and studying psychology. This transformative period led me to become a coach, emphasizing simplicity, sharing, sports, and confidence in my approach. I firmly believe in an individual's potential to achieve their goals with the right mindset and aim to inspire and guide leaders and teams towards success.
