Romain Collin

Sports coach, educator and mentor — over 15 years of experience with adults and children.

From 2008 to today, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of people: in gyms, schools, municipalities, and prestigious establishments such as the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace (view certificate). My background is multifaceted — sport, pedagogy, human support — and this cross-disciplinary vision is at the heart of how I help you.

Field experience

Why trust me

15 years of practice

Personal and group sports coach since 2008. Competition preparation, fitness, children and seniors — a wide range of clients and contexts.

State diplomas

BEES (2008) and DEJEPS (2014), complemented by training in yoga, Pilates, nutrition and sports science. An official foundation, continuously enriched.

Listening & discretion

A relationship of trust, adaptation to your pace, zero judgement.

Philosophy

How I coach

Everyone progresses differently. My role: understand your situation, set a clear framework, and support you towards your goal.

Listening & adaptation

No standard programme. I observe, adjust, simplify. Whether you're a beginner or aiming for a specific performance, the session is built for you.

Respect & clarity

A horizontal exchange, based on keeping your word and realistic goals. You always know where you're going and why.

Immediate feedback

Real-time correction, measurable progress, motivation between sessions. Coaching doesn't stop when the hour ends.

Cross-disciplinary outlook

See further, unlock faster

Being multifaceted doesn't mean jumping from topic to topic — it means connecting skills that others keep separate. This way of thinking allows me to support you differently, where a classic approach struggles to move forward.

Weak signals

I pick up what others don't see yet: the unspoken, tensions between your goals, blockages forming before they surface. Fine listening, not a checklist.

Complex situations

When sport, work, self-confidence and personal life intertwine, I read the situation as a whole — not just the visible symptom on the surface.

Concrete solutions

Where others go in circles, I look for the lever that unlocks progress. No standard speech: a clear reading of your situation and a realistic course of action, quickly.

Two complementarities

Sport & mentoring

Personal mentoring

Confidential phone conversations when the situation is complex or tangled. Through a cross-disciplinary outlook and reading weak signals, I help you find concrete solutions — where others go in circles.
