Thomas Ramos est le meilleur buteur de l'histoire de l'équipe de France de rugby et du Stade Toulousain et prendra peut-être un jour ce statut à l'échelle du Top 14.Né à Mazamet dans le Tarn, fils et petit-fils de rugbymen, Thomas tombe amoureux du ballon ovale dès ses 5 ans.Il est très vite repéré par les plus grands clubs et rejoint le Stade Toulousain à 16 ans.Pourtant son éclosion tarde : il s'éternise chez les espoirs et doute de jamais passer pro.À 21 ans, prêté à Colomiers en Pro D2, il s'entoure d'un préparateur mental qui change sa carrière et l'aide à se hisser parmi les meilleurs joueurs au pied du monde.“J'ai appris à faire abstraction de tous les éléments externes pour être dans une bulle au moment de taper. Je fais le vide et ensuite je ne fais que répéter une routine."Chaque saison, Thomas affiche un taux de réussite aux alentours des 85% face aux perches. Une régularité de métronome, le rendant indispensable en club comme en sélection.5 fois champion de France, 2 fois champion d'Europe, 3 fois vainqueur du Tournoi des Six Nations et accessoirement jeune papa, Thomas se livre avec beaucoup de sincérité dans cette discussion :Sa routine millimétrée au moment de buter, et comment isoler le cerveau pour ne pas céder à la pressionLa défaite en quart de finale de la Coupe du monde 2023, qui l'a longtemps hantéPourquoi le Stade Toulousain domine tout : la culture d'un club qui déteste perdreDonnées, vidéo, sommeil : la science derrière la performance moderneGérer l'arrivée d'un enfant quand on est sportif de très haut niveauUn échange rare avec un compétiteur lucide et bien plus attachant qu'on ne le pense, pour comprendre comment on devient, et on reste, décisif dans les moments qui comptent.Vous pouvez suivre Thomas sur Instagram.Un merci tout particulier à Pauline du Stade Toulousain qui a rendu cet épisode possible.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : Le secret pour flirter avec les 90% de taux de transformation00:12:10 : Tomber amoureux du ballon ovale à 5 ans00:17:02 : Comment revenir en forme après la coupure estivale00:21:19 : Jongler entre championnat, coupe d'Europe et périodes internationales00:27:14 : "Un second choix est toujours moins bon qu'un mauvais premier choix"00:33:36 : Enchaîner les saisons, jusqu'à ce que le corps lâche00:39:45 : L'importance de la vidéo dans le rugby moderne00:44:42 : Tout scruter pour optimiser la performance00:52:56 : Gérer l'arrivée d'un nouveau-né quand on est sportif de haut niveau00:58:47 : Son engagement dans la lutte contre l'endométriose01:04:09 : Les nombreux sujets tabous dans le rugby01:07:45 : Pourquoi il est passé de 100 jeux au pied par semaine en espoirs à 8 aujourd'hui01:15:03 : L'importance de la routine01:24:38 : "En 2023, on s'est trop dit qu'on allait gagner"01:31:46 : Comment la presse peut anéantir la carrière d'un joueur en un claquement de doigts01:40:29 : Sa plus grande inspiration rugbystique01:43:49 : "Pour être meilleur il faut que je m'énerve plus souvent"01:49:30 : La place centrale de la préparation mentale dans une carrière01:56:54 : Immobilier, voyages, famille : l'après-carrière rêvée de Thomas02:03:30 : "Ma plus belle victoire c'est la naissance de ma fille"Les anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #524 - Vincent Clerc - XV de France, McDonald's - L'incroyable destin d'un Grenoblois besogneux#479 - Nikola Karabatic - Champion de Handball - 22 titres sur 23 : la légende du sport français#52 - Stéphanie Gicquel - Traileuse - Visualiser pour ne jamais abandonnerNous avons parlé de :L'article de Midi Olympique qui affirme que les ****joueurs du Top 14 élisent Thomas Ramos comme le plus gros chambreur du championnatWhoop, le bracelet qui recueille des données de santéEndoFrance, l'association de lutte contre l'endométriose que soutient ThomasLa série Heated RivalryLe contre de Kolbe en quart de finale de la coupe du monde 2023Frédéric Michalak, l'inspiration de ThomasOlivier Lepretre, le préparateur mental de ThomasLes recommandations de lecture :L'art de la victoire, autobiographie du fondateur de Nike - Phil KnightUn grand MERCI à nos sponsors : Squarespace : https://squarespace.com/doitQonto: https://qonto.com/r/2i7tk9 Brevo: brevo.com/doit eToro: https://bit.ly/3GTSh0k Payfit: payfit.com Club Med : clubmed.frCuure : https://cuure.com/product-onely (code DOIT)Vous pouvez retrouver la liste de tout le matériel utilisé pour enregistrer nos épisodes sur cette page.Vous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Il y a un an, le Stade Français échappait de peu à la dangereuse 13e place synonyme de barrage.

Ep. 186 : Bordeaux - Back 2 Back - EPCR + TOP 14Back to Back ! C'est le mot à la mode dans le sport français et sans enlever de mérite aux joueurs du PSG, c'est bien l'UBB qui a créé l'exploit en premier! Dans une finale EPCR Champions Cup à sens unique, les bordelais ont littéralement surclassé des irlandais du Leinster réduits au rang de sparring partners qui n'ont pu que constater les dégâts et la supériorité des champions d'Europe en titre. Chapeau aux bordelais !Le plus fou est que cette même équipe UBB n'est pas assurée de figurer dans les 6 qualifiés du top 14 ! Il leur faudra pour cela battre Clermont qui a subi la loi du Racing 92 : lequel a aussi son destin entre les mains mais doit pour cela battre Toulouse … sans quoi La Rochelle pourrait rafler la mise.

World Rugby Player of the Year and World Cup Champion Ellie Kildunne joins Nuala McGovern fresh from a Player of the Match performance at the Six Nations final. She reflects on her rise to the top and the story behind her memoir Game Changer.What are the implications for girls and young women of Alan Milburn's review for the government into rising levels of inactivity among 16 to 24-year-olds? There are currently just under a million young people in this age range dubbed NEETs because they are not in education, employment or training. Anita Rani speaks to Baroness Smith, Minister for Skills, as well as the Minister for Women and Equalities.As part of our special programme on wonder — how to find it and how to hold on to it when life gets in the way —Nuala speaks to Dr Jean Bennett, the research scientist whose medical breakthrough recently restored the sight of a six-year-old girl.Would you ever consider working from your bed? Perhaps you do, by choice or otherwise? Dermatologist Dr Alexis Granite and The Archers Podcast's Emma Freud are both fans and join Anita to discuss. When the American Professor of Law, Kimberlé Crenshaw was five years old, at the time of the civil rights era in Ohio, USA, she was allowed to portray a witch but not a princess in a nursery play. Puzzled by her teacher's behaviour, Kimberlé spoke up and never stopped, firmly establishing herself as a Backtalker, the name of her new memoir. Kimberlé joins Anita to talk about becoming a pioneering scholar and writer on civil rights and her instinct to question power and challenge what others accept as fair.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

“The thirteen colonies that became the United States were not even half of the British colonies that existed in the eighteenth century. We need to think about why some colonies rebelled and others did not.” — Sarah Pearsall Earlier today, the historian Dominic Erdozain came on the show to argue that American patriotism has the same exceptionalist Puritan roots as British imperialism. But not all historians of the American revolution would agree. Take, for example, Sarah Pearsall, author of Freedom Round the Globe, who turns 1776 inside out to present the American rebellion as a kind of world revolution. 1776 as 1917. American patriotism as an explosion of borderless humanity. Pearsall argues that 1776 was as globally significant in its revolutionary promise as 1789, 1848 or 1917. She reminds us that there were at least 26, possibly as many as 32 British colonies in existence in 1775 — in the Caribbean, in Canada, in East and West Florida. And the radical ideas that drove the Declaration of Independence — security, happiness, respect — were being asserted simultaneously all over the world. So in Edinburgh debating clubs, Caribbean sugar plantations and West African castles, the American revolution was welcomed as a global revolution. Universal rather than exceptional. The Tea Party as the Storming of the Winter Palace. Five Takeaways •       32 British Colonies, Not 13: The Forgotten Empire: People talk about the thirteen colonies as if they were all the British colonies in North America. They weren't. There were at least 26, possibly as many as 32, depending on how you count groups of islands. British colonies in the Caribbean. In Canada. In East and West Florida. Each had its own relationship to the British Empire, its own internal tensions, its own calculations about the costs and benefits of rebellion. The question Pearsall asks — why did some rebel and others not? — is the question that opens up the global story. •       The Caribbean Undermines the Slavery Thesis: There is a popular argument that the American Revolution was primarily fought to preserve slavery — that the colonists feared British abolition and revolted to protect the institution. Pearsall's counter: if this were the main driver, the Caribbean colonies would have been the first to join. They were far more dependent on slavery than the mainland colonies. They did not join. The relationship between slavery and the revolution is genuinely complicated — not simple in either direction. The Caribbean story is the evidence that demands a more nuanced account. •       From St Kitts to Kolkata: The Declaration's Global Keywords: Pearsall's organising device: she takes thirteen key words from the Declaration of Independence and finds the spark of each in a far-flung location. Security in the Six Nations cornfields of upstate New York, where it meant something very different to the Haudenosaunee than to the Philadelphia delegates. Happiness in the debating clubs of Edinburgh, where women were demanding it alongside men for the first time. Respect in the streets of Kolkata. This device lets her write about the globe without losing the Declaration as her anchor. •       Americans Were Already Thinking Globally in 1776: One of Pearsall's more surprising findings: Americans in 1776 were far more aware of global events than we tend to assume. They were reading about events in India. The Boston Tea Party is unintelligible without knowing that tea was an Asian commodity and that the East India Company was simultaneously extracting profit from Asia and from the American colonies. Colonists compared themselves explicitly to Indians under the Company's thumb. They saw the connections. The isolation of American history as a subject of study is a modern academic choice, not an eighteenth-century reality. •       Read the Declaration, Not the Constitution: Pearsall's July 4 Prescription: Andrew asks Pearsall what she'll be doing on July 4 and suggests people should read the Constitution. Pearsall gently corrects him: the Declaration of Independence. Two very different documents from very different moments. The Declaration, published on July 4, 1776, is short, bold, and reaches toward universal ideals. The Constitution, ratified in 1788, is a compromise document about how to govern. On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration, Pearsall's prescription: read the Declaration. The IndyCar races and the UFC match at the White House can wait. About the Guest Sarah Pearsall is a prize-winning historian at Johns Hopkins University and the author of Freedom Round the Globe: A World History of the American Revolution (Knopf/Penguin Random House, May 2026). She previously taught at the University of Cambridge, where she was a colleague of Christopher Clark. She grew up in the United States and lives in Baltimore, Maryland. References: •       Freedom Round the Globe: A World History of the American Revolution by Sarah M. S.

Petit Rhodanien, c'est dans une famille modeste que Sylvain grandit. D'abord attiré par les sports de vitesse, il commence malgré tout rapidement le rugby avec ses copains de Givors.Immédiatement au-dessus du lot, il rejoint l'avant-gardiste centre de formation grenoblois. Évoluant jusqu'en équipe première, il rejoint en 1997 le très ambitieux projet du Stade Français de Max Guazzini : "Pari(s) gagnant", c'est le cas de le dire, puisqu'il y remportera le Brennus et honorera sa première sélection avec le XV de France dès sa première saison.Après 13 ans dans la capitale, il part, au crépuscule de sa carrière, tenter un dernier challenge au Biarritz Olympique.Lauréat de 5 Boucliers de Brennus avec le Stade Français, de 5 Tournois des Six Nations, dont 3 Grands Chelems avec un XV de France pour lequel il a porté à 84 reprises le maillot frappé du Coq, Sylvain décide de prendre sa retraite sportive en 2012, au soir d'une finale victorieuse en Challenge Européen.Reconverti dans les affaires, il n'est aujourd'hui plus spécialement proche du monde du rugby et se régale dans le domaine de l'immobilier, toujours sur la Côte basque.Toujours avide d'apprendre et résolument tourné vers l'avenir, Sylvain n'est pas un grand nostalgique, ni du genre à trop regarder dans le rétroviseur.Vous allez l'entendre, mais j'ai passé un super moment en sa compagnie et ai particulièrement apprécié l'humour pince-sans-rire de cet immense chambreur.Bonne écoute !-----------------------------

On episode 232 I am joined by Bernard Jackman, a former professional rugby player, coach, and now a performance consultant, guest speaker and respected voice in Irish sport. Bernard is a former pro Rugby player who played for Connacht, Leinster, Sale Sharks and an Irish international. He has been head coach in FC Grenoble, France and at the Dragons in Wales. Bernard is one of only a small number of Irish rugby players to have won a Six Nations, European Cup, Challenge Cup and a Magners League Medal.Since retiring from professional rugby he has moved into coaching and high-performance leadership. Bernard has built a diverse career across coaching, media, athlete development and performance consultancy, working with teams and organisations both within and beyond rugby. His work has also extended into other sporting environments, including collaborations with Horse Sport Ireland and involvement around the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Jackman grew up on the Wicklow/Carlow border he grew up on a cattle farm which led to a different path to elite sport. We discuss how this affected his career and upbringing. Bernard shares his advice to parents with children on the elite sporting pathway and also offered insights to current athletes on developing their professional development and working during their sporting career. A major part of Bernard's professional development came through his master's research, where he travelled across the world studying some of the leading high-performance teams and organisations in sport including Manchester United, Dyson, Sydney Swans, Toyota, Melbourne Storm, Just Eat and more. Through visiting elite environments and learning directly from coaches, athletes and performance leaders, he gained valuable insight into the habits, cultures and systems that underpin sustained success at the highest level.In this episode, we discuss Bernard's journey through professional sport, working with Enda NcNulty, learning from Alex Ferguson, Brian O'Driscoll and Jonny Sexton, his approach to retirement, transitioning into coaching, high-performance environments, and the lessons he has taken from working across multiple sports. The conversation also explores performance, elite sport, and what high performance really looks like behind the scenes in sport & business.Find Bernard here https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernardjackmanFollow The Sideline Live Social Media channels and the host Orla here: https://linktr.ee/TheSidelineLiveRecorded using Samson Q2 microphone, Edited using GarageBandIntro music, Watered Eyes by a talented Irish artist, Dillon Ward check him out ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ .
