"Are you more interested in optimizing the future than in past experience? Are you attracted by novelty, originality? Do you need harmony to function well? Do you favor emotional logic over rational logic? An idealist will answer yes to these four questions. The idealist is a gentle blend of intuition and feeling, a complex and compelling personality. Taking into account the characteristics specific to this type of profile makes it possible to improve their performance in many areas. We all have preferences and strengths. Trying to boost them means saving energy and gaining efficiency. With a university education in physical preparation and nutrition, Olivier Bourquin has been for several years the head of physical preparation of the Swiss Tennis Federation. His experience as a physical trainer for elite athletes and people wanting to improve their overall fitness inevitably led him to take an interest in the nutritional and micronutritional aspect, too often overlooked in the context of training and health. He collaborates with numerous large companies, gives lectures and provides training abroad for various training organizations. He published "La performance sur mesure", a best-seller repeatedly reprinted by Favre Editions in 2014.
