TEAMLAGARDÈRE PROFILE
The Lagardère group loves sport
and shares in its values.
Pushing oneself to the limit,
the thrill of competition and team spirit are
all qualities a top athlete requires, and they
are the attributes a business needs to stay
ahead of the pack. Lagardère has enjoyed
close links with the world of sport for many
years now, and this special relationship
took on a whole new dimension when
we decided to create a sports sponsorship
department. It was my wish to see the group
help France shine on the international
stage by giving them a real chance
to improve on their medal tallies. In order
to achieve this, the Lagardère group
implemented a set-up which goes beyond
the ’usual’ scope of sponsorship.
At the heart of this new structure was
“TeamLagardère”.This innovative and
ethical project was launched in 2005, and
was designed to help promote the French
champions of the future. TeamLagardère
is a centre of scientific expertise applied to
sport, applying state-of-the-art techniques
in research, training and support.
The project is dedicated to sport at the
highest level and aims to unearth young
French talent and provide them with
a two-pronged recipe for success, based on
both sporting performance and cultural
development. The focal point of the project
is of course the people involved; athletes,
scientists, coaches, teachers and many more…

on a national and international level, are
brought into the project to add their unique
expertise and know-how and thereby
enable our elite to reach the top in sporting
performances. This project is about more
than just providing financial support. Our
investment also takes the form of resources
to develop new technologies such as the
TeamLagardère video centre, that were
previously unavailable, and make them
available to sportsmen and women. This
investment in the image of sport as a whole,
with particular emphasis on the champions,
reinforces the group’s commitment to toplevel sport and will also help us to create
closer links with national and international
sporting federations. It is also borne of our
genuine desire, implemented globally and
consistently, to promote the playing and
watching of sport to one and all.
The Lagardère group is developing a
worldwide structure which brings together
an increasing number of top athletes,
federations, clubs and partners, not just
within TeamLagardère but also the
Lagardère Paris Racing swimming club,
Paris Jean-Bouin sports club, Lagardère
Athlé Tour athletics events, Jean-Luc
Lagardère Trophy and Mondial Paris
Cadets tennis tournaments and other
events organised as part of
the Jean-Luc Lagardère
Foundation.

What is at stake at the top level
“ The issues raised
by top-level sports are
highly complex and need
to be solved by collective
approaches. Together,
coaches and scientific
experts design training
routines to meet
the specific needs
of athletes while
respecting their
sporting integrity.”
The requirements for reaching the top are
many and varied. Simply stepping up the work
rate is not enough to get those all-important
tenths of a second or extra centimetres
which make all the difference. Knowing your
body better, identifying how to make more
technical, physical and psychological
progress and working in a better way all
enable athletes to optimise their preparation.

THE LAGARDÈRE GROUP
A modern and innovative approach
TeamLagardère is aware of this,
and consequently offers its athletes:
exact guidelines for their physical
capacities
an analysis of their techniques
a specific individual training programme
In order to be even more efficient,
TeamLagardère has brought together all
the necessary technical and human resources
under one roof, with the aim of having a
permanent flow of information between
scientists, coaches and athletes.
TeamLagardère provides a genuine training
complex for athletics and tennis and applies
a methodical approach to physical preparation based on the analyses from its scientific
complex. The Team is organised around a
technical centre which provides evaluations
of muscle quality, energy levels
and techniques.
Techniques can be analysed by means of a
unique double video system which has been
installed on a training field.
TeamLagardère also has a unique medical
set-up which combines regular medical care
with detailed biological analysis to regulate
the intensity and the amount of training
in order to respect the physical limits
of the athletes.
© Tennis Magazine / J. Crosnier ; Business Interactif / S. Jemai.
“ Getting athletes to the peak
of their profession and then
keeping them there now
requires a scientific approach
to training. They need
to know what level they are
really at and then do the
work that is required of them.
They will be able to save time
and optimise their workloads
to make sure that they do not
fall into the traps created by
overtraining – namely dips in
form, injury and doping.”

The TeamLagardère video centre
In 2007, TeamLagardère inaugurated the third
area of its Centre of Expertise, namely the video
centre – a unique, innovative area dedicated
to movement analysis and performance
enhancement. This equipment is an integral part
of our wish to provide full and detailed analysis
to coaches regarding the performances
of their athletes. The evaluations carried out
in our Centre of Expertise measure the energy
and muscle capacities and now also
the techniques of the various sportsmen
and women. The main aim is to help them take
the different decisions they face every day.
This unique video system enables the technique
and the tactics of the player to be evaluated.
Using two complementary features, recordings
use the full potential of cinematographic analysis:
Sony High Definition equipment uses
seven cameras in fixed spots around
the pitch which enable players to be filmed
in real time and to synchronise the footage
with movement analysis from various
pre-defined angles
“ Going beyond
the energy and
muscular capabilities
analyses which
we have developed
over recent years,
creating this video
centre within a sports
complex was very
much a first in
the world of sport.
We want to use images
as a teaching tool
to make it easier to
identify the areas
a player should work
on to improve.”
Motion Analysis is a movement recording
system. This equipment uses 12 infra-red
cameras fixed on a gantry above the pitch
combined with sensors within the athlete’s
clothing and provides a biomechanical
analysis of the player via a 3D real-time
reconstruction of their movements.
Xavier Moreau,
General Manager
of TeamLagardère
“ This technology is an
incredible aid as it
means that we can
work on our athletes in
the minutest detail
and fine-tune their
movements, enabling
them to gain a few
fractions of a second
which can prove decisive in competition.”
Guy Ontanon,
Development Manager
of Team Athletics
An immediate, dedicated
and personalized analysis
for the athlete and for the coach
These two complementary systems, designed
by two of TeamLagardère’s scientific experts,
Christian Miller and Annie Riquet, are aimed at
providing tangible new elements to help coaches
in their decision-making and thus to meet
their needs in terms of analysis, observation
and correction of an athlete’s movements.
The athletes themselves can also study slow
motion image-by-image analysis straight
after their performance to see exactly how they
were moving.
A 3D reconstruction of movement as
obtained by the Motion Analysis system
A unique challenge
While similar software already exists today
in laboratories, having these two technologies
designed in conjunction with Sony and Motion
Analysis together in one sports complex is a first
for French sport. These facilities enable players
to give it their all out on the training field while
staying within the parameters set by evaluation
methods which are every bit as rigorous as those
established by scientists.
“ Our role is to give objective information on
the physical condition of
the player and now, thanks
to this new technology,
we can give both the coach
and the player further
accurate data on
the latter’s technique
and tactics.”

TEAMLAGARDÈRE PROFILE
Paris Jean-Bouin – a club synonymous
with elite sport
The club is situated in the west of Paris and was
founded on 1 November 1903 to cater for all and has
always offered at least 10 different sports ever since
it began. It was renamed Paris Jean-Bouin in 2003,
and the club signed an exclusive partnership with the
Lagardère Group in January 2004 (after the City of
Paris renewed the club’s licence). One of the main
elements of the partnership is top-level training of
young sportsmen and women.
The various teams within the club have been able to
take advantage of the TeamLagardère Centre of
Expertise even since it was inaugurated on the club’s

The Croix-Catelan and the rue Éblé site
in Paris – there to serve top-level sport
site at the end of 2005, and this all adds to the prestige of the venue which has become synonymous
with elite sport.
Paris Jean-Bouin currently has six sporting sections
(athletics, basketball, bridge, field hockey, rugby and
tennis) comprising 3,000 members who can play on
almost six hectares of facilities, including 21 tennis
courts, a covered basketball court, a stadium and an
athletics track where Sergei Bubka became the first
man above six metres in the pole vault back in 1985.

Titles:
France men’s team first division tennis champions
in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
On 1 September 2006, the Lagardère Group became
the new proprietors of the Croix-Catelan. This site is
situated in the Bois de Boulogne on the outskirts
of Paris and stretches over more than six hectares.
It has 12,000 members and consists of 48 tennis
courts, two swimming pools and even a 1,500m2
artificial pitch. It was originally founded in 1882 under
the name of Racing Club de France as a multi-sports
club. Since then, it has become the number one club
in France, both in terms of the number of members
and also its history – including hosting the Olympic
Games when they were held in Paris in 1900.
The Lagardère Group was also awarded stewardship
of the 14 sports sections* of the rue Éblé sports centre. This building of some 6,000m2 is almost unique
due to its location in the 7th arrondissement of Paris
– right at the heart of the capital. It contains two 25metre swimming pools, a 300m2 martial arts dojo, an
18-piste fencing arena and three multi-sport gyms.
These two sites are where TeamLagardère is now
choosing to concentrate its infrastructure for
Lagardère Paris Racing.
They have top-level facilities and are designed
with two purposes in mind – supporting the various
sporting sections* within Lagardère Paris Racing,
and therefore developing top-level sport.
lAll athletes who benefit from TeamLagardère’s
support can make full use of the facilities at these
exceptional sites, thus enabling them to train and
prepare for competition in optimum conditions.
Titles:
CFrance women’s team first division tennis champions in 2007.
87 Olympic medals and 65 world titles since
the club’s inception in 1882.

Sophia-Antipolis – shaping the future
TeamLagardère – partner
of the Nick Bollettieri academy
Located at the heart of the Côte d’Azur near to Nice,
the Sophia-Antipolis site is dedicated to training the
youngsters who make up the Prospects Tennis Team.
Along the lines of the tennis academies in Florida,
the site has outdoor courts which can be used all
year round. The Prospects Tennis Team was formed
in 2006 and has around 10 promising young players
in its ranks. The staff, which includes a number of
coaches and a fitness trainer, work in close
collaboration with the full team at Paris Jean-Bouin.
The site is close to both the science and technology
“technopole” and the Vabonne university centre,
making it an excellent place to combine playing
and learning.
The Nick Bollettieri Academy is based in Bradenton,
Florida in the USA and totally dedicated to training
the men’s and women’s tennis stars of tomorrow. It
has a whole host of illustrious “graduates”, including
André Agassi, Jim Courier, Tommy Haas, Monica
Seles, Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova.
The partnership between TeamLagardère and
the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy is based on two
activities – an exchange programme for athletes
from TeamLagardère (who can then take part
in the activities of the American academy
at Bradenton, Florida) and combined training and
use of resources between the two establishments.

TeamLagardère has been made possible thanks to
the involvement of certain very important financial
partners.
The world of sport certainly has everything to gain
from this collaboration with the world of finance
in terms of products, services and technologies,
and also communications expertise and
professionalism.
The “Club des Partenaires Associés TeamLagardère”,
or ”TeamLagardère Associate Partners’ Club” is at
the origin of this project and brings together
key business players who share common values and
interests – i.e. each member has a love
of sport, performance and team spirit.
The Club presents an opportunity for sport as a
whole and also for those businesses which are
involved, as they are provided with new promotional
material from the TeamLagardère communications
tools, namely a media programme, events and the
reputations of the staff and/or the athletes involved.
Thus a new sports marketing model was created
and itself engendered a powerful network
of communications possibilities.

A Group very much in touch
with its time
The Lagardère Group has always
embraced the values inherent in sport.
Lagardère is a French group established
in 40 countries. It is headed by Arnaud Lagardère
and is a world leader in media and new
technologies. The Group’s media work is a solid
and growing business area and is based on four
distinct yet complementary activities:
Lagardère Active (press, audiovisual and
new media), Lagardère Publishing (books),
Lagardère Services (retail and services) and
Lagardère Sports (management and marketing
of sporting rights). Lagardère’s investment in new
technologies is illustrated by their strategic
participation in the European company EADS
(European Aeronautic Defence and Space).
At the beginning of the 1970s, under the aegis
of the Group’s founder Jean-Luc Lagardère,
Matra Sport was at the forefront of motor racing
the world over. Jackie Stewart was Formula 1 world
champion in 1969 and Matra won a historic treble
by taking the Le Mans 24 hour race in 1972, 1973
and 1974.
More recently, the Lagardère group has actively
participated in mobilising France’s main
economic players to support Paris’ bid to host
the Olympic Games by founding and hosting
the “Club des Entreprises Paris 2012”
(2012 Paris Business Club).

The Group thus became a partner of the French
team and founding partner of the National
Athletics League, whose president is Stéphane
Diagana. This was also the year that the Group
signed a partnership with Paris Judo, the Parisian
judo club founded in 1992 by Thierry Rey.
Working towards social cohesion
The Lagardère Group has also been a partner of
the French Open at Roland Garros since 2005, and
together with Guy Forget and IMG organises the
Jean-Luc Lagardère Trophy – an event on the ATP
senior circuit which brings together eight former
tennis legends.
The Jean-Luc Lagardère Foundation supports
young talents and federations which work to create
more social cohesion in the fields of sport, culture
and research. Among the associations which
the Foundation supports is ”Fête le Mur” run
by Yannick Noah, which looks after more than
2,000 youngsters who live in poorer areas.
In 2006, the Lagardère Group chose to join forces
with the French Athletics Federation to modernise
The Group signed a ten-year partnership in 2006
with “Fête le Mur” which involves choosing
the “Class of Jean-Luc Lagardère”, where the top

the aim of producing a future champion.
The youngsters are also introduced to elements
of culture (most notably through workshops run by
winners of Talent Scholarships) during the training
camps organised in conjunction with
TeamLagardère at Sophia-Antipolis.
The Jean-Luc Lagardère Foundation also supports
the “Ti Colibri” (“Little Hummingbird”) association
headed by fencing champion Laura Flessel,
“Ping Attitude” which is sponsored by table tennis
star Jean-Philippe Gatien and “Diambars”,
which are training centres with an emphasis on
education which were set up by footballers Jimmy
Adjovi-Boco and Bernard Lama in Dakar, Senegal,
and which are also sponsored by Patrick Vieira.
The Foundation has also financed a multimedia
class for the centre.

The Jean-Luc Lagardère Foundation has also
developed two projects in conjunction with
the Institute for Political Studies in Paris.
The first is unique in France in that it provides
top-level sportsmen and women with an
educational training programme. The second is
an experimental programme in four high schools
in the Seine-Saint-Denis area north of Paris aimed
at giving culture and sport a more prominent role.
At the Lycée Feyder school in Épinay-sur-Seine,
the Foundation provides the sporting element with
Patrice Hagelauer from TeamLagardère working
as the school’s tennis coach. There are also close
links between TeamLagardère and the
