France youth player transforms into a warrior with guidance from ex-commando
Ewen Jaouen Enhances Mental Game with Guidance from Former Commando
Young Talent Shines at Stade de Reims
Ewen Jaouen, a promising goalkeeper aged 19, is taking significant steps to elevate his mental prowess by collaborating with a former commando who served in Afghanistan. Returning to Stade de Reims after a successful loan at USL Dunkerque, Jaouen is once again making an impact in Ligue 2, which has led to his selection for the France U21 squad.
Training with France’s Elite
Recently, Jaouen had the opportunity to train with France’s senior national team. Participating in a shot-stopping drill, his towering presence was humorously acknowledged by AC Milan forward Christopher Nkunku, who jested, “He’s four meters tall.” This exposure is expected to further bolster Jaouen’s confidence and skill set.
Mental Preparation: A Goalkeeper’s Secret Weapon
Understanding the significance of mental fortitude in football, Jaouen has sought the expertise of a former commando to help him develop a warrior-like mentality on the field. “He teaches me how to transform into a warrior when stepping onto the pitch, just like he was in Afghanistan,” Jaouen shared in an exclusive interview with Emegypt.
Impressive Performance in Ligue 2
This season, the France youth international has played nine games for Stade de Reims in Ligue 2, achieving three clean sheets. Jaouen’s continual improvement both mentally and physically is evident in his standout performances, which have not gone unnoticed by football analysts and fans alike.
