A journey exceptional
My name is Max. My story begins where many stop.
There are times when life brings you to a complete stop. Not a slowdown. A wall.
For me, it was as a young adult.
A violent accident. An existential wake-up call. I nearly lost my life.

ChampionsA comprehensive approach to the Sports coaching applied to skateboarding
An inspired coach qualified in 4 sports.
Swimming
I grew up in the water. Kilometres covered, discipline in the pool, controlled breathing. I understood the power of repeated effort at a young age. That led to my first coaching qualification.
Surfing
When you face a wave, above all you're facing yourself. Teahupoo taught me total commitment, with no turning back. Passing on that strength became the obvious next step. So I earned my coaching qualification.
Skateboard
I’ve always been drawn to skateboarding for its freedom. But what I love most is seeing someone land a trick they thought was impossible. Teaching has become second nature. I’ve been qualified since 2008, and I’ve never stopped teaching.
Diving
The water never left me. After the surface, I wanted to discover the depths. Silence, pressure, total self-control. Today, I am certified to explore another world.
Tools for progress beyond skateboarding
Mental skills
Technique
Body
Health
My method is based on three pillars:
If life is a film, you're the hero of the story. The coach is the director and guide: adapting, supporting and advising.
The obstacle is the path
A singular journey forged by experience. An example of resilience and determination.
Rise & Grind
From failure to success
After being forced to put an end to my dreams due to serious injuries.
I chose to rebuild and to transformation. Et d’utiliser cette expérience comme force dans mon métier de coach.
Having become professional sportsman and entrepreneur.
My injuries shaped my mental and my discipline, driving me to found one of France's most renowned skateboarding schools. Today I coach some of the best skaters, putting my experience and passion at the service of their progress.
These experiences taught me discipline, total commitment and the power of the mind in performance.
Skateboarding as a transformation tool
For me, skateboarding is much more than a sport: it's a tool of awakening, self-esteem, and personal transformation. Through Old Skullz, I have developed a method that values self-confidence, resilience, and the pleasure of learning, regardless of age or level.
