Podcast appearances and mentions of leon marchand

"Geoffrey, comment tu fais pour avoir de tels résultats en si peu de temps ?"C'est une question qui revient souvent. Depuis mon départ de la police en 2020, j'ai formé plus de 250 préparateurs mentaux et accompagné des centaines de leaders. La réalité, c'est que le marché de l'accompagnement explose, mais les exigences des clients aussi.Aujourd'hui, savoir "comment le cerveau fonctionne" ne suffit plus. À l'heure de l'IA, l'information est gratuite. Ce que vos clients achètent, c'est du résultat tangible, du sur-mesure et une incarnation hors norme.Dans cet épisode, je quitte le mode "théorie" pour vous livrer mes 6 protocoles de terrain, ceux qui m'ont permis de propulser l'Académie Puissance Mentale et de transformer des vies, de l'athlète de haut niveau au chef d'entreprise.

Et si la vraie question n'était pas "est-ce que je m'appelle coach" ou "praticien" ou "préparateur mental"... mais "est-ce que j'assume vraiment ce que je fais" ?Dans cet épisode, je te parle d'un sujet que j'entends trop souvent en coulisse, et rarement dit franchement en public.Il y a des gens qui se forment, qui accumulent des certifications, qui attendent le bon moment. Et pendant ce temps, les demandes explosent. Le marché ne manque pas de clients. Ce qui manque, c'est des pros qui s'assument vraiment.Je te donne mon regard terrain là-dessus. Pas le regard d'un universitaire. Pas le regard d'un théoricien. Celui d'un entrepreneur qui accompagne des coachs, des athlètes, des dirigeants, des gens en reconversion, et qui s'est lui-même posé cette question à un moment donné.Ce que tu vas entendre dans cet épisode va peut-être te bousculer.Bonne écoute.Prends bien soin de toi.Geoffrey

Il y a deux éléments qui m'ont littéralement sauvé la vie quand j'étais au plus bas.Pas deux techniques de développement perso. Pas deux "hacks" de productivité. Deux choses que j'ai découvertes sur le terrain avec 15 ans de police, banlieue parisienne, situations que peu de gens imaginent vraiment.Dans cet épisode, je te partage ces deux éléments en mode coulisses. Ceux que j'utilise encore aujourd'hui. Ceux que je retrouve systématiquement chez les gens qui tiennent, les grands dirigeants, les athlètes de haut niveau, les personnes qui avancent même quand c'est lourd.Tu vas comprendre pourquoi être dur avec toi-même te coûte beaucoup plus cher que tu ne le crois. Et comment quelque chose d'aussi simple que ce que je vais te partager peut transformer une situation que tu pensais insurmontable.C'est un épisode sans chichi, sans script. Juste moi, mon vécu, et ce que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise bien plus tôt.Bonne écoute.

Est-ce que tu connais vraiment la différence entre savoir une technique et la maîtriser dans le feu de l'action ?Parce que la plupart des gens connaissent la cohérence cardiaque. La respiration. L'imagerie mentale. Mais au moment où leur mental s'emballe pour de vrai, ils font quoi, concrètement ?Dans cet épisode, je t'explique ce qui se trame réellement à l'intérieur de toi quand ton mental part dans tous les sens. Et surtout, je te donne les leviers pour y faire face, rapidement.On parle de ton système nerveux, d'anciens programmes inconscients qui refont surface sans prévenir, et d'un piège dans lequel on tombe tous, moi le premier.Je te partage aussi une anecdote que j'ai vécue il y a quelques semaines, dans un stade de foot avec mes enfants. Une situation que je n'avais plus connue depuis des années. Et ce que j'ai fait en moins d'une minute pour la désamorcer.Parce que oui, même après 15 ans à former des officiers de police et des centaines de préparateurs mentaux, ça arrive encore.La différence, c'est juste que maintenant j'ai les outils. Et dans cet épisode, je te les passe.

L'univers du coaching et de la préparation mentale est en train de vivre un tournant majeur. Et la plupart des professionnels ne l'ont pas encore vu venir.Dans cet épisode, je te parle franchement de ce qui est en train de se passer sur le terrain, pas dans les universités, pas dans les débats sur les certifications RNCP, mais dans la vraie vie, avec de vraies personnes.Parce que oui, être un bon technicien, savoir enseigner la respiration, la relaxation, l'imagerie mentale… c'est la base. Mais aujourd'hui, ça ne suffit plus. Et l'intelligence artificielle va finir de rendre ça obsolète.Ce que les personnes viennent chercher maintenant, c'est quelque chose de beaucoup plus grand. Quelque chose que ni un algorithme, ni un protocole tout fait, ne pourra jamais leur donner.Dans cet épisode :Pourquoi le coaching "classique" touche à sa limiteCe qui fait vraiment la différence entre un technicien et quelqu'un qui a un vrai impactLa notion de Puissance Mentale® et en quoi elle dépasse largement la "force mentale"Ce que j'ai compris sur le terrain, dans la police, avec des athlètes de haut niveau, des dirigeants, des artistes… et une ado de 15 ans qui m'a blufféIl y a deux chemins devant toi. Cet épisode t'aide à choisir le bon.

Tu t'es déjà levé à 5h du mat pour "optimiser ta journée" et tu t'es retrouvé épuisé avant même d'avoir commencé ?Les routines, tout le monde en parle. Les influenceurs t'en vendent. Et toi, tu essaies de les copier-coller dans ta vie… sans que rien ne s'installe vraiment.Dans cet épisode, je te partage les 12 routines que j'ai testées et qui ne m'ont pas convenu, certaines sont simplement inefficaces, d'autres peuvent carrément être dangereuses si elles ne correspondent pas à ton rythme biologique et à ton style de vie.Douches froides, miracle morning, affirmations positives, visualisation quotidienne, to-do liste au réveil… On passe tout en revue. Sans jugement. Avec honnêteté.Et surtout, je te révèle ce qui, pour moi, a tout changé. Pas une routine de plus. Quelque chose de différent, quelque chose que tu peux vraiment dupliquer et adapter à qui tu es.Parce qu'entre copier la journée de quelqu'un qui vit à Bali et construire la tienne depuis la Bretagne avec des enfants, un agenda et une vraie vie… il y a un monde.

Tu te lèves le matin… et sans t'en rendre compte, ton cerveau commence déjà à saboter ta journée.Pas besoin d'une grande catastrophe. Juste 4 erreurs silencieuses que 99 % des gens font chaque matin, y compris des dirigeants, des athlètes de haut niveau, et des professionnels de l'accompagnement que j'ai accompagnés.Dans cet épisode, je te partage 4 éléments fondamentaux qui font toute la différence entre une journée qui t'inspire… et une journée qui te ronge de l'intérieur.Ce que je te partage ici, c'est du terrain pur. Des choses que j'applique moi-même pas toujours parfaitement, je te le dis franchement et que j'enseigne au sein de l'Académie Puissance Mentale® à ceux qui forment les autres.Parce que si toi, tu n'es pas au meilleur de toi-même, comment tu vas créer un vrai déclic chez les gens que tu accompagnes ?De zéro à 10, à combien tu en aurais besoin dans ton quotidien ?Écoute cet épisode, prends de la hauteur et surtout, mets-le en application.Belle écoute.Geoffrey

Vous avez les meilleurs protocoles. Vous connaissez vos outils. Mais est-ce que vous vous préparez vraiment, vous ,avant d'entrer en séance ?C'est la question que je pose dans cet épisode. Et la réponse, souvent, fait toute la différence entre une séance qui transforme… et une séance qui passe.J'ai utilisé cette technique dans des situations d'urgence en tant que policier, avant des interventions à haut risque, avant des conférences, avant des accompagnements de dirigeants ou d'athlètes de très haut niveau. Aujourd'hui, je vous la partage en 4 étapes, moins de 3 minutes, applicables immédiatement.Parce que votre posture, c'est la base de tout. Si elle vacille, peu importe l'outil que vous utilisez : la personne en face de vous le sentira.Dans cet épisode, vous découvrirez comment vous positionner dans ce que j'appelle la zone de maîtrise, ni trop haut, ni trop bas, pour créer ce climat de confiance et de sécurité dès les premières secondes.Alors, avant votre prochaine séance… qu'est-ce que vous allez faire ?Prenez ce qui est bon pour vous.Belle écoute.Geoffrey

Et si la vraie compétence d'un coach, ce n'était pas ce qu'il dit… mais ce qu'il fait quand ça dérape ?Palpitations. Tremblements. Corps figé. Regard dans le vide. Une personne en face de vous qui bascule, et vous, vous faites quoi ?Dans cet épisode, je vous parle de quelque chose que la plupart des écoles de coaching n'enseignent tout simplement pas : comment intervenir face à une crise réelle, au moment où ça compte vraiment.15 ans de terrain. Des centaines de situations d'urgence. Des interventions auprès de victimes, de militaires, de policiers sous tension extrême. Ce n'est pas de la théorie c'est ce que j'ai vécu, testé, et affiné dans des contextes où l'erreur n'était pas permise.Dans cet épisode, je vous partage les clés concrètes pour ne pas être démuni le jour où ça arrive. Et croyez-moi, si vous accompagnez des gens, ce jour viendra.Belle écoute, prenez bien soin de vous.Geoffrey

Tu veux être plus fort mentalement ? Attention : plus tu mets ton focus sur “le mental”, plus tu risques de te crisper… et de te limiter.Dans cet épisode du Podcast de la Puissance Mentale, je te partage une approche contre-intuitive (et ultra terrain) : la puissance mentale ne se construit pas en se mettant des coups de cravache. Elle se construit en apprenant à recalibrer : ton focus, ta fatigue, ton niveau de pression… et ta capacité à te reconnecter à ta puissance intérieure.À travers des exemples concrets (athlètes de haut niveau, personnes sous forte pression, milieux opérationnels), tu vas comprendre comment déployer une force mentale durable sans t'épuiser ni t'auto-saboter.Dans l'épisode :Pourquoi vouloir “être plus fort mentalement” peut te bloquer (ego, surcharge, comparaison)Comment la fatigue détruit ton discernement (et quoi faire concrètement)La vulnérabilité maîtrisée : pas une faiblesse, une compétence de leaderLa clé “taboue” : mettre plus de douceur… à TA façon (sans devenir mou)Transformer chaque situation du quotidien en entraînement mental

Ce week-end, j'ai vécu un événement assez unique : près de 600 personnes réunies en Bretagne, à Grandchamp, pour les Rencontres Universelles.Et comme souvent, je ne vis pas ce type de moment “juste” comme un spectateur.Je le vis comme un laboratoire humain : j'observe, je ressens, je note… et je me demande :“Qu'est-ce que je peux en tirer pour grandir, et pour vous aider à grandir aussi ?”Dans cet épisode, je vous partage 6 leçons très concrètes, applicables immédiatement que vous soyez coach, entrepreneur, manager, ou simplement en train de construire un nouveau chapitre.

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I'm Perplexity, not Biosnap AI, and I'll provide you with verified information about Michael Phelps based on the available search results.According to the International Swimming Hall of Fame and Swimming World Magazine, nearly a decade after his retirement from competitive swimming following the 2016 Rio Olympics, Michael Phelps remains remarkably relevant in the sport. His world rankings continue to impress, with his 200 freestyle and 400 individual medley times still ranking second globally. In the 200 butterfly and 200 individual medley, he holds third place internationally, while his 100 butterfly ranks fourth worldwide.The most recent significant development occurred on January 27, 2026, when major swimming publications highlighted that Phelps' last world record fell in 2023 when Leon Marchand, also coached by Bob Bowman, broke his 400 individual medley standard at the World Championships in Fukuoka. Despite this, Phelps remains a top-five performer historically in five events and a top-seven American swimmer in seven disciplines.On the professional front, Phelps received the Muhammad Ali Legacy Award in late December 2025, recognizing his contributions beyond swimming. He was also honored as part of Sports Illustrated's Influence 125, acknowledging his status as one of the most influential sports figures in business and culture.In his post-competitive life, Phelps has focused significantly on mental health advocacy and remains involved with swimming through mentorship and youth development. According to recent reports, he swims three to four times weekly for fitness and wellness rather than competition, maintaining a disciplined routine that includes strength training and recovery work.His longtime coach Bob Bowman continues to shape elite swimmers, recently working with rising star Summer McIntosh. Bowman has been conducting coaching clinics internationally, sharing expertise developed through working with Phelps and other Olympic champions.Phelps has transitioned into public speaking and business keynote speaking circuits, appearing on lists of top business speakers. He continues partnering with health and wellness brands while maintaining his commitment to water safety advocacy and drowning prevention through grassroots swimming programs.His competitive legacy remains unmatched, with 28 Olympic medals and 23 gold medals standing as historic achievements that continue to define excellence in swimming nearly a decade after his final competition.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Du vécu, du terrain, et des choix assumés.Je t'explique pourquoi, après près de 15 ans de pratique, ce ne sont pas les outils en eux-mêmes qui font la différence, mais le moment, l'intention et la manière de les utiliser.On parle régulation du système nerveux, confiance, lucidité, focus, adaptation… et de cette capacité à faire avancer la tête et le cœur ensemble.À travers des exemples concrets (athlètes, policiers, dirigeants, situations sous haute pression), je détaille ces stratégies.Je montre pourquoi la puissance mentale, ce n'est pas se contrôler, mais reprendre la main consciemment.Un épisode utile pour les professionnels de l'accompagnement, sportifs, coachs, dirigeants et toutes celles et ceux qui évoluent dans des contextes exigeants.Parce que la vraie performance commence quand on redevient le pilote de son système intérieur

Dude, what a year.” In this year-end episode of The Social Kick Podcast, the full crew — Bryan Lundquist, Dr. John Mullen, and Luke Paddington — gets together to close out 2025 by debating the most unforgettable moments in swimming. We break down the races that defined the year, from Leon Marchand skipping the 1:53s entirely in the 200 IM to Katie Ledecky breaking the 15-minute barrier at a home invitational. We also dig into the moments that sparked debate and disbelief, including the Florida relay disqualification at NCAAs, the removal of B-Finals from the NCAA format, and a “pool measurement” conspiracy surrounding world records. The conversation moves from jaw-dropping performances to the hardest training sets of the year — including a Sven Schwarz distance workout that stopped Bryan in his tracks — before wrapping with bold predictions and personal goals heading into 2026. Topics include: Race of the Year debates The women's 800 free and Ledecky's historic swim NCAA controversies and format changes The hardest sets of 2025 Big interviews, breakout moments, and WTF stories Bold predictions and goals for 2026 It's equal parts analysis, opinion, humor, and reflection — a true end-of-year conversation for swimmers, coaches, and fans who lived every moment of the 2025 season.

In this episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we talk about 2025 Toyota U.S. Open Championships in Austin, Texas, where there were some stunning swims.Summer McIntosh and Leon Marchand made the biggest headlines. McIntosh roared back into competition with the second fastest 400m freestyle in history, with a 3:55.37. She then closed out the meet with a dominant 200m butterfly in 2:02.62, the fourth fastest ever. Marchand was equally impressive. He dipped into the 400m free, not his usual specialty, and clocked a lifetime best of 3:44.70. Then he wrapped up with a triumphant 200m butterfly in 1:52.57.We also talk about other great swims including Kate Douglass in the 200m IM and 200m Breaststroke and Hubert Kos in the 100m and 200m backstroke, as well as how deep U.S. swimming is becoming - not just at the top, but throughout the roster.

This week on the SwimSwam Breakdown, we are discussing the 12-year-old Chinese phenom Yu Ziti (and swimming at the Chinese Nationals), Leon Marchand's spicy 4:07 400 IM, and Chris Lindauer going to Stanford.

SwimSwam sat down with Bob Bowman, the Director of Swimming at the University of Texas, who delivered the Longhorns a national title in his first year at the helm. Bowman, who was coming off of winning a national title with Arizona State the year before, discussed the similarities and differences of winning national titles at ASU and UT, noting that Texas has a storied history of national success that gives a confidence boost to its athletes. Bowman also addressed Leon Marchand's scheduled return to competition, the Pro Swim Series in Ft. Lauderdale, confirming that we may see the 4x Olympic champion in some freestyle events. To round out our conversation, Bowman told a few stories of watching his grandchildren (Boomer, Beckett, and Maverick Phelps) play on their respective soccer and baseball teams, the latter of which their father, Michael Phelps, is the coach of.

Sneakily one of the fastest men to ever sprint, Canadian and Florida Gator Josh Liendo is coming off a career year in 2024. His sophomore campaign at UF included 3 individual event wins at NCAAs, along with leading the Gators to 2 relay wins, building on the already solid freshman year (100 free + 3 relay wins). Somehow that wasn't enough to earn him a Swimmer of the Year, only topped by Leon Marchand with his record performances. Josh continued the momentum in Paris, earning a silver medal with his statement 100 butterfly that nearly won gold, dipping under 50 seconds with a 49.99, only the 5th to ever do that, and at the same time making him the first black Canadian swimmer to win an Olympic medal. Josh nearly had 2 medals, with an under the radar 4th place in the 50 just missing the podium. The perfect Olympic results to feel major accomplishment, while still wanting more. Taught to swim in Trinidad and Tobago til age 11 before moving north, Josh automatically ascended to the exclusive list of Luke's favorite pod guests before we started, but cemented that place during this fun conversation.

In this special year-end episode, the Social Kick crew recaps the most memorable moments of 2024 in swimming. We discuss the best individual swims (including Jordan Crooks's historic sub-20 50 free and Leon Marchand's 4:02 500 free), the most thrilling relays (like the US Women's Medley and the Great Britain Men's 4x200 free), and the most exciting meets (including the NCAA Championships and the Paris Olympics). We also delve into breakout performances from swimmers like Gretchen Walsh and discuss the impact of records like Pan Zhanle's 46.40 100 free. Join us for a lively and insightful discussion as we reflect on a year filled with incredible swims and unforgettable moments. Enjoy and don't forget to subscribe for weekly podcasts and daily shorts!

Director of Swimming & Diving at the University of Texas Bob Bowman returns to the SwimSwam Podcast and we cover a lot of ground. In the last month alone, we've seen Bowman-trained swimmers have a myriad of highlight moments at competitions ranging from the Texas Elite Invite to the Short Course World Championships. Bowman addresses all of these meets as well as the recent news that Leon Marchand will go to Australia to train with Dean Boxall for a few months starting in January.

So that's a thing now. Rex Maurer has shown the world that even college-aged swimmers can drop nearly 7 seconds in their best event as if he hit a growth spurt. Maybe he did. The Texas sophomore is only a summer and fall semester into his time in Austin following his transfer from Stanford where he had a solid freshman year. But this Longhorn mid-distance crew is different. It is stacked with hitters, as demonstrated with Carson Foster breaking the American Record in the 500 about an hour before Rex decided he'd like that title on his CV. Maybe this reset the 500 freestyle has seen in recent years (see also Leon Marchand's otherworldly underwater freak show 4:02 from 2023) will translate to the long course 400 and finally deliver the much-awaited sub 3:40 that has eluded the world's greatest swimmers since Thorpee. Rex Maurer, the son of an Olympic swimmer and head USC coach Lea Maurer, swam lifetime bests in the 400IM, 1650, and 200 freestyle, all at a mid-season invite, and he is now expected to haul in points for Texas at the 2025 NCAAs as one of THE swimmers to watch in March.

This month we examine how the college football playoff selection and seeding panned out along with adjustments likely to occur down the line. Also, we discuss Juan Soto's new contract with the Mets and how much advantage the big money clubs have in MLB along with the most positive sports stories of the past year.  

The closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics is taking place in the Stade de France, bringing an end to a festival of sport that has thrilled audiences around the world. In his first interview since dropping his re-election bid, President Biden says he wanted to avoid becoming a distraction in the campaign to defeat Donald Trump. And allegations of torture as the Zimbabwe authorities round up political dissidents ahead of a regional summit in the capital.(Photo: French swimmer Leon Marchand carries the Olympic flame taken from at the Olympic cauldron at the Jardin des Tuileries and to be taken to the Closing Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Stade de France Stadium in Paris, France, 11 August 2024.

Imagine sharing the excitement of the 2024 Olympic Games with a loved one in their final days. That's what I'm doing with my 94-year-old father, and it's a journey filled with tears, laughter, and endless inspiration. That's why we've been on a break for a few weeks.  Join me, Kelly Palace, as I celebrate these unforgettable moments and explore the insights from some of the most exceptional athletes and coaches we've had the privilege of hosting on Champion's Mojo. From Rowdy Gaines' boundless enthusiasm to Emma Wyatt's profound hard reset, and Paige Madden's unique breathing technique, our featured Olympians provide invaluable lessons that motivate us to push beyond our limits.I'll mention the fascinating story of Bob Bowman, the legendary five-time US Olympic coach who is now championing the French team and his prodigy, Leon Marchand. Bob's strategic decision to support Leon while staying true to his US roots is a testament to the complexity and beauty of competitive sports. Plus, we'll highlight how master swimmers can elevate their own game by observing the elite techniques showcased at the Olympics—everything from starts to dolphin kicks. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to the athletes who inspire us and a celebration of the life lessons they impart through their dedication and passion.
