TURN YOUR DREAMS INTO REALITY
EVERYTHING
STARTS WITH HOPE
The olympic's guide to building resilient hope
and achieving the impossible.
From Coastal Town to Olympic Bobsledder
I grew up in Saint Nazaire, a coastal town in France, far from mountains, snow, or any connection to winter sports. I had never even seen snow until I was seventeen. Yet a single spark of possibility, an authentic hope, carried me from that small coastal bedroom to the starting line of an Olympic bobsled track representing Monaco.
This journey wasn't fueled by extraordinary talent or lucky breaks. It was powered by something far more accessible: resilient, gritty hope that transforms what seems impossible into achievement.
In Everything Starts with Hope, I share the science, strategies, and stories that can help you harness the transformative power of hope in your life, whether you're pursuing athletic excellence, building a business, transforming your health, or searching for greater purpose.

Not at all. While the stories draw from my Olympic experience, the principles apply to any meaningful pursuit—whether you're building a business, improving relationships, transforming your health, or pursuing creative excellence.
Question 2: How is this different from other books on positive thinking?
This isn’t about fluffy positive thinking or wishful optimism. Everything Starts with Hope explores hope as a science-backed strategy, a practical skill you can develop systematically, and a force that creates tangible results through specific techniques and approaches.

Especially so. The chapter on Hope in Crisis directly addresses how to find and maintain hope during your darkest moments, with practical strategies for rebuilding shattered hopes and finding possibility within constraint.
Question 4: Is there scientific evidence behind these concepts?
Yes. Throughout the book, I draw on cutting-edge research in neuroscience, psychology, and performance studies that reveal how hope physically changes your brain, influences your body’s biochemistry, and improves performance across domains.
