The high-level practice of a sport leads the athlete to use different types of resources, knowledge, and know-how.
This skills base constitutes a skill set, potentially transportable into another professional industry.

TESTIMONIES
Marcel Garvey
ex professional rugby player
At the end of my sports career, I wished to stay in France with my family. I then followed ATAXEN’s guidance programme towards employment for 6 months. We have implemented a strategy to define a new project and ATAXEN has met all my expectations. I now work within an international group, in an IT environment, where I thrive day-to-day.
Benjamin Richier
CEO of Com&Co
ATAXEN has requested to introduce a former Olympic athlete in reconversion to me. They had identified an opportunity which corresponded to the athlete’s project. I did not hesitate! I am very satisfied by this recruitment. She brings her determination and winning spirit every day. It is stimulating for the whole team.
Yohann Misse
ex professional rugby player
Thanks to ATAXEN, I became aware that I had a lot of assets to put forward due to my previous experience as a professional rugby player. I have learnt to put myself in the spotlight on the job market. At the end of my guidance, I received several job offers from businesses interested in my profile.
