Having become the new locomotive of French tennis, Loïs Boisson had a tortuous journey. And his behavior problems, younger, were not necessarily managed according to the mental trainer Ronan Lafaix.
Loïs Boisson turned out to be in the face of the world in Roland-Garros. Because to reach the last square of the Parisian Major, the Frenchwoman chained the exploits taking it in particular on Jessica Pegula then Mirra Andreeva before giving in in the semi-finals against Coco Gauf.
And if his physique and his strike force made the minds, he was the same with the calm displayed throughout the fortnight. In its bubble, the native of Dijon posted a foolproof serenity. But to believe his first coach, he has not always been so. In her young years, Loïs Boisson was an impetuous player, capable of big cracks.
“As she did not succeed the first time, Loïs frustrated a lot. She swung her snowshoes and, often, I had to exclude him from the court. I was trying to find ways to manage his frustration but it was complicated ”, So told Patrick Larose, the first to perceive his unique talent when she was only eight: “In September 2011, a little girl introduced himself to assessments. I launched her first ball, she had never taken a snowshoe from her life, and immediately, she sends her back to me after the first rebound. In 2 minutes, I see it’s a bomb. »»
“This is the solution we have for these people …”
However, the technician’s response to the annoyance crises of the young Loïs Boisson made Ronan Lafaix, former mental preparer of Gilles Simon or Corentin Moutet, tick.
“A technical framework said that he had often fired it because she did not bother, that she broke snacks. This is the solution that we have for these people …, Did he regret with the 10sport. She was a champion who ignored herself. And there may be many. . There is a team that believes in it. Me, I have a very good boyfriend who works with her, Sébastien Durand. They worked. It’s a little stable and they are there. This is where the dream is important. »»
Patrick Larose had not failed to greet this transformation. “Now, we see that she has an inner calm, she did not have it at the start but it must boil in her head,” he said. Young, Loïs was very locked and never delivered her feelings. When she threw snowshoes, it was pure anger. It was a little pain for her. »»
