About
Coach Gaby
I know what it’s like to have a dream and a ball. My journey started at five years old on the streets of Paris, fueled by a passion for the game that eventually took me to INF Clairefontaine—the French National Team Center.
If you follow the sport, you know this is the "Harvard of Soccer." It’s the same environment that shaped legends like Kylian Mbappé and Thierry Henry. Training there wasn't just about soccer; it was about discipline, tactical intelligence, and building the mental toughness required to compete at the highest levels.
After my time at the academy, I moved into the competitive world of French football, playing at the semi-professional level for the historic Stade de Reims. My years in that system taught me exactly what separates the kids who "have potential" from the athletes who actually reach their goals.
I’ve seen the highs and the lows of the elite pathway, and I know the pressure young players face today.
I founded the Conscious Athlete Academy because I saw a gap in how youth players are being developed. Many kids play on autopilot, but few are taught how to think the game.
When I coach your child, I’m bringing the elite French methodology to their backyard:
-
Technical Mastery: Building a foundation that doesn't break under pressure.
-
Game IQ: Teaching them to read the field like a pro.
-
Character & Mindset: Developing the resilience they’ll use on the pitch and in life.
My goal is to give your player the tools, the confidence, and the "conscious" mindset I learned in the some of the best academies.
Let's build their future together.
