Lyonnaise Excellence : Analysis at the service of European Dominance (2014-2017)

Performance Engineering at the Summit

Between 2014 and 2017, I had the privilege of joining Olympique Lyonnais (Women Team) as a Performance Analyst. In an environment of obsolute demand, my role was to transform raw data into a strategic competitive advantage.

The challenge was not merely to collect statistics, but to build a genuine monitoring system capable of validating or challenging on-pitch intuition through tangible, objective indicators.

My Contribution : Transforming Observation into Decision-Making

AT Lyon, I implemented a rigorous analytical methodology that redefined performance management :

  • Development of Bespoke Tools : Leveraging my skills in statistics ans IT to create evaluation protocols that integrated qualitative criteria (technical reliability, tactical accuracy) without subjectivity.
  • Comprehensive Monitoring : Establishing daily tracking covering matches, rtaining sessions, and recovery, providing a permanent « roadmap » to peak performance.
  • Decision Support : Creating a centralised platform for the technical staff, facilitating discussions based on measurable data to guide training cycles and matchs plans.
  • Continuous Self-Evaluation : By measuring player progression and their adherence to the tactical philosophy, I establish a feedback loop that allowed the staff to improve daily.

An Historic Record of Success

Under the management of Gérard Précheur, these three seasons were marked by exceptional collective success, where analytical precision support the pursuit of silverware :

  • 2 UEFA Women’s Champions League titles (2016, 2017)
  • 3 Division 1 Féminine titles (2015, 2016, 2017)
  • 3 French Cups (2015, 2016, 2017)
  • Invincible Seasons : 22 wins in 22 league matches (2015)

The Legacy of OL in My Current Management

This experience at the heart of the world’s elite has instilled in me a firm conviction : you cannot optimize what you do not analyse and measure. Today, as a Head Coach, this dual culture of « Pitch x Data » enables me to :

  • Secure tactical choices through advanced video and statistical analysis.
  • Protect players by optimising their workload and recovery.
  • Establish a culture of excellence where every detail is scrutinised to leave nothing to chance.
