BETONYOU — PRESS ROOM
26.08.2026
Athletes spend years pushing their limits.
Training. Giving everything. Performing. Winning, sometimes.
But there is one thing no one prepares them for:
When it all stops, WHAT NEXT?
For most, what comes next is a brutal break.
Because we don't prepare them enough for what comes next.
BETONYOU wants to give athletes the means to reveal their potential and build what comes next, starting today.

« In elite rugby, you spend your whole career preparing to perform. But far too little is done to prepare for what comes next, and it is often when the curtain starts to fall that you realise how hard it is to look ahead. BetOnYou convinced me because the project wants to help athletes anticipate that transition, better understand what they can bring beyond the pitch and, above all, find a project that gives them meaning. »
« I never left sport. I simply chose a new playing field. With Yohan, we started this journey with our tech investment fund Origins. BetOnYou is its natural continuation: building, with athletes, the tools we wish we had had to prepare for life after their careers. »
« I am delighted to be one of the founding athletes of BetOnYou, because I am convinced that a sporting career should also be an opportunity to prepare for what comes next. Sport develops qualities that are sometimes hard to put into words — resilience, discipline, adaptability, handling pressure, leadership — yet they are extremely valuable for companies. Becoming aware of that value and of our potential beyond the courts and stadiums is essential to build our future with confidence and ambition. »
« I got involved with BetOnYou because I deeply believe that our greatest limits are often the ones we set ourselves. Betting on yourself means daring to believe in your potential, turning obstacles into opportunities and giving yourself the means to go further. »
« BetOnYou is above all a way of contributing to the sporting community while building and securing my future as an athlete. It is a form of solidarity between athletes that allows us to support each other and make our voices heard beyond the field of play. Being an elite athlete also means preparing for what comes next and giving meaning to our commitment outside competition and training. »
« For a long time, athletes were invited to inspire companies. With BetOnYou, they become the ones building the solutions. We no longer just want to talk about life after a career; we want to organise it. »
« Sport inspires dreams. And those who bring it to life develop incredible qualities: hard work, courage, resilience, the ability to push beyond limits. My unique journey has taught me that we can reinvent ourselves, sometimes several times over. I am convinced that athletes can do the same, provided they receive personalized support tailored to the remarkable skills they develop throughout their careers. That is why I co-founded BetOnYou with extraordinary sporting figures: to help as many athletes as possible around the world transform everything they have built through sport and write the next chapter of their careers. »
« For twenty years, I have worked with sports brands, clubs and athletes. I have always been surprised that the end of a career so often rhymes with a major rescue operation. As if athletes needed saving. I joined the BetOnYou project because I am convinced there is another path to help athletes become aware of their extraordinary potential. A path that will give them the means to finally bet on themselves. »
« For more than thirty years, I have seen women and men walk into our agencies convinced they can only do one thing. Athletes are no exception: they leave competition without realising they have learned rigour, teamwork, the ability to absorb failure and start again. These are the profiles companies are looking for and cannot find. Our job is to translate that potential into recognised skills and real jobs. With BetOnYou, we want life after sport to stop being a worry and become a project. »
« I was fortunate to see the intuition behind BetOnYou emerge long before the project even had a name, and to support it from the very beginning. My conviction remains the same: an athlete's career does not end with competition. Their discipline, resilience, and ability to reinvent themselves are more valuable than ever in a world of work transformed by technology. BetOnYou is about turning that into a force to build what comes next. »
