Golf & Mental Performance: The French Experience

French-Style Wellness Day for Your Team

Offering your team a rare moment of pause is also offering them a little piece of France.

Using golf as a tool to strengthen self-control, team cohesion, and collective stress management becomes far more than just a break from the routine: it’s a true opportunity for your organization to offer its teams an exceptional day, conducted in French by a recognized French expert in mental skills, management, and performance.

Designed as an immersive and mobile experience, this day is tailored to come to you, in your city, to recreate a space of French elegance, care, and high standards—right where your teams operate every day.

Far from the traditional seminar format, we bring with us the spirit of golf as a teaching tool and the French approach to workplace wellness: subtle, human, demanding… but always carried by the joy of doing things together.
