Hello everyone,
My name is Damien, I grew up in the south of France in Toulouse where I was born. I lived in a modest family, my father arrived in France in the 1960s to join his widowed mother following the Spanish civil war in which my paternal grandfather died a few days after my father's birth. And my mother also of Hispanic origin born in the Val d’Aran on the French-Spanish border, from a peasant family.
Thanks to my parents and their education, I learned the values of respect, mutual aid and consideration for others.
It was at the age of 5 that I discovered sport and more specifically football, thanks to my father who signed me up for the local club where we lived. Indeed my father, originally from Galicia (Spain) and a big fan of Real Madrid, saw it as obvious that his son would be a football player. Throughout my childhood and adolescence I had only one obsession, football. When I was 14, I joined the regional training center with the sole objective of realizing my childhood dream, to become a professional footballer. But often in life the reality is quite different from what we hope or imagine. The surroundings, maturity, handling pressure, are things that you learn later.
However, I continued my journey by progressing to CFA 2 (currently National 3), then I gradually discovered bodybuilding, particularly during my rehabilitation phases after injuries. And little by little, the passion for the gym took over football in my life. Surpassing yourself, pushing the limits, physically evolving your body. In fact I was a fairly frail kid and in football at the time bodybuilding did not exist or very little.
I then passed my diplomas, my real objective was to share my passion and my knowledge with others, by showing them how this activity can make you feel good both in your body and in your mind.
Today, after more than 10 years of experience, and having worked in physical preparation with high-level athletes in the world of football and basketball, but also in fitness and bodybuilding coaching with people not necessarily sporty at the start. I acquired maturity and I developed my knowledge by feeling the need to help and push each of you to become better physically but especially mentally by considering yourself, developing indirectly through the sport of self-confidence.
This is why today, I am embarking on the project of supporting you online because I feel ready to give you the best of myself in order to make you become the best version of yourself!
