        * IKIGAÏ is a Japanese philosophy of life which consists in giving meaning to one's life by finding a balance between what one likes, what one knows how to do well, what one can be paid for and what is useful in the world. "Iki" means life and "gay" refers to the realization of what one hopes for; it's about feeling where you belong, aligned with yourself.

        The ikigai philosophy can be applied
        both to the individual and to associations and companies

        It was you who said it !

        “Thank you very much Tarek. You are an "entrepreneur" tennis teacher who grew up professionally in the world of Belgian private tennis clubs. Your remarks, always remarkably animated, are part of a marketing approach to sports leisure that is more natural in the company than in the associative world that is ours. Without denying our identity, our federal ecosystem has everything to gain by drawing inspiration from your development models, which link content and the marketing of the services provided to practitioners with relevance. You were kind enough to bring to our attention the fruit of your experiences because above all you are passionate about tennis. I am very grateful to you."

        Gilles Moretton

        President of the F.F.T. (French Tennis Federation)

        "I would like to congratulate Tarek for the clarity of the two presentations (How can the teacher be more "pro" in organizing, coaching and selling tennis? And How to attract and retain adult beginners?). Humor, passion, but also knowledge and precision on both themes, he was able to pass on essential information to the teachers present at the national conference at Roland Garros."

        Pierre Cheret

        Training Department - Teachers LIFT Director - The Tennis Training Institute - FFT (French Tennis Federation)

        "We wanted to involve Tarek to give our development teams another vision of our sport, our clubs, and their attractiveness. The intervention was highly appreciated by our participants, because the topics of reflection related to the positioning of the club, the care given to our customers, and other topics related to the marketing of a club, are not always common in our associative world. This change, while keeping in mind the associative company that is the club in France, is necessary to become attractive again for our citizens. Thanks to Tarek for helping to open our eyes."

        Daniel COURCOL

        GM Development department FFT (French Tennis Federation)

        “When competence is tinged with passion and concreteness, how not to face the facts: training with Tarek Francis sums up the idea. Starting from field experiences that have given satisfaction, Tarek relies on an innovative, logical and common-sense approach. It offers an approach, a process in total agreement with the reality on the ground and the new expectations of today. "

        Professional teacher BEES 3rd degree tennis - Creator of the concept of competition and learning "TENNIS COOLEURS" Trainer and speaker in the field of learning (for clubs, departmental committees, leagues, UFR Staps)

        “A very concrete sharing of experience on the evolution of our sport and our clubs! », « super interesting » thank you Tarek

        Stéphanie Cohen Aloro

        F.F.T. Club Development Manager

        "I always knew that my level of tennis was enough to play at a high level, but I was missing a piece of the puzzle - the mental part. I always struggled to know how to play correctly and well in important and stressful moments. of the match, how to manage my emotions. I knew that I had to improve in this part, that is to say, to leave my comfort zone, to ask the right questions and to have a goal and a daily plan to achieve it . You showed me the way and gave me the keys. I've started to see the improvements and I can't wait to learn even more."

        “The AFT “Set to say” day is a day of presentations and exchanges with the clubs. On this occasion, Tarek presented a workshop entitled “the role of the teacher in the promotion of tennis”. We were very satisfied with the content shared but also with the way Tarek presented the module. His knowledge and experience brought real added value to the day. His intervention was unanimously appreciated by the participants.

        Samuel Deflandre

        General Secretary A.F.T. (Belgian Francophone Tennis Association)

        “Tarek, the man with a thousand ideas, overflowing with energy, always inspired but above all inspiring. We have known each other for over 20 years now. 20 years of exchanges, sharing and common projects around this little yellow ball. A daily source of inspiration”
