Mental training — students in preparatory classes

Published on • By Frédéric Damato

I regularly provide mental coaching to prep-class students facing high demands and pressure to deliver results.

France’s selective university preparatory classes — ECG, ECT, MPSI, MP2I, PCSI, PTSI, BCPST, and humanities tracks — demand an exceptionally intense pace.

Demanding courses, weekly "colles", supervised tests on Saturdays, constant rankings, strict grading, exam pressure… Prep students know: it's not just an academic test, it's a true mental marathon.

Many burn out trying to give everything. Some lose confidence in the face of harsh marks. Others experience so much stress that they can no longer express their potential on the day itself.

My expertise: from elite sport to the most selective exams

For over 15 years I have supported Olympic athletes, elite competitors and also prep students.

What they have in common: they place a large part of their future on a few decisive days (sporting competitions or entrance exams).

Why mental coaching for prep students?

A dedicated mental coaching program for prep students provides:

An approach tailored to prep students and parents

Sessions in Rennes or remotely (video), adapted to prep students' schedules.

Structured support: typically a few sessions are enough to put effective routines in place.

Clear communication with parents who want reassurance about the ongoing support.

All preparatory classes are supported

Whether you’re in MPSI, ECG, BCPST, a humanities preparatory track, or another program, the mental demands are similar: manage pressure, stay motivated, perform consistently, and be ready on exam day.

🩺 Medical and health students

I also support students in PASS, L.AS, medicine and health studies who face heavy workloads, exam pressure and selection stakes.

👉 Whatever the program, the challenge remains the same: hold up mentally until the exams and be ready to perform on the day.

How does it work?

Fees

Prep students fall under the Prep school students category. Each session lasts 1 hour. Two options are available:

Sessions Rate
Single session €100
6-session coaching package €550

📅 Exceptional weekend sessions: surcharge of €35 on Saturday and €50 on Sunday. Available on request, for specific needs and subject to availability. The surcharge also applies to sessions included in the 6-session coaching package and must be paid before the session.

Preparatory classes are a program of excellence, but also a formidable mental challenge. Like elite athletes, students deserve a mental coach to arrive confident, clear-headed and ready to perform on exam day.

In Rennes or remotely, I will help you transform pressure into more effective energy and enable you to give your best to reach your goals.
