In football, the Stade Lavallois is two fingers (toes) from the rise in Ligue 2. With 7 points ahead of the third and barrage Villefranche, the Tango could validate the accession next Monday in the event of victory in Chambly. This may be the most important game of the season.

It’s very pleasant, but until the ultimate goal is achieved, you have to try not to get carried away. “Players should not cut themselves off from the outside, but prather put themselves in a porous bubble, that is to say in their own bubble, as long as the objective is not acquired. It is necessary to stay focused. Of course, you also have to listen to what is happening outside, take the good things, but not get carried away as fans or other stakeholders might do.“explains Denis Troch, famous mental coach for top athletes and former coach of Stade Lavallois.

“It is also good to go and look for all the people in the team, in the club who have experienced this kind of event. [une montée sportive, ndlr] because it is always good to have as reference people who have an experience, a lived experience. Whether among the players, among the leaders, among the coaches. Players can also trust supporters who themselves have already experienced a promotion to Ligue 2. You can only raise your arms once you have crossed the finish line” ends Denis Troch.
