Former member of the French national team and elite competitive pool freediver since 2023. National medalist in dynamic apnea since 2019.
Vincent Mathieu plays a key role in my overall preparation, especially when it comes to sport-specific physical training and smart, long-term planning. His deep knowledge and genuine passion for the latest developments in physiology have completely transformed the way I approach high-level freediving — a young and fast-evolving sport.
What sets Vincent apart is how attentive and responsive he is. Whether I’m dealing with proprioception issues, pain, fatigue, or the need to build strength, he always takes the time to adapt and find the right solutions.
He brings a consistently positive energy, always focusing on what’s working and how to build on it — something that’s crucial for an athlete’s mental stability.
With his background in both pool and depth freediving, the certifications he’s earned, and his ongoing personal research, I truly believe Vincent is one of the most qualified high-performance freediving coaches in France.
I wholeheartedly recommend him to any freediver who’s serious about progressing.
