On the verge of being dethroned by Thomas Ramos as the best scorer of the XV of France, do you know what becomes Frédéric Michalak?
There are names that cannot be forgotten. In football, we will always remember Zidane, Thuram, White, etc. In rugby, Blanco, Pelous, Galthié or Michalak make a real echo in the ears of purists, but also uninitiated. And precisely, when his name has come back to the fore for several weeks because of a certain Thomas Ramos, about to become the best scorer in the history of the XV of France, what becomes of Frédéric Michalak?
The former Toulouse stadium player, top scorer in the three -color XV so far, is still very close to the world of rugby since he is one of the coaches of the Parisian club Racing 92 since 2023. He is also a regular consultant for Canal + or TF1 during the matches broadcast on these channels. But Frederic Michalak does not do that and has it in the head.
An anticipation before the end of his career
“I stopped my studies early, at 18. There was not really any accompaniment to clubs in my time. I had to learn to get better to project myself on what interested me. I always told myself that I had to prepare for the next. I had the chance to anticipate my outing, to stop when I wanted. In high-level sport, with an injury, your career can stop from the day.” Maddyness, website specializing in entrepreneurship and start-ups in 2021.
Associated with restaurants or a crossfit room, shareholder of the Blagnac amateur rugby club … Frédéric Michalak is also the president of Sport Unlimitech, a company working in sports innovation. Through many stages throughout France, Sport Unlimitech organizes conferences, changing rooms and thematic workshops presenting the latest challenges and creations of the world of sport, research and tech as indicated by their official site.
“Our country and its sport sector, carried by all its actors, associations, public and private, is full of innovative ideas and approaches in a sector that always makes more followers (…) Thus, our roadmap applies to maintaining the interests of sport actors at the heart of its concerns”, explains Frédéric Michalak, a man who is therefore very busy on and outside the field. According to the figures cited by Sport Unlimitech in 2023, there are 150 startups in France which have raised 250 million euros for 5 years, in eSport, coaching, sleep management or injury prevention.
