Interested?


Dana is 53. She plays pétanque for about 10 years. She goes regularily to trainings based od CIEP Method about once a week, she plays tournaments with some good results, she participated on several CIEP workshops. She´s a shooter.

In October 2021 she came after one training to see me and she told me:

"I would like to qualify to the Women´s World Championship. Can you help me?"

"I’ve come up with my own way of following the Training program. It’s demanding, time consuming, fun, varied and helpful. I plan to continue this routine well after Week 12 is completed, making it an ongoing personal program."

Ron Rohlfes, USA

CIEP is regularily preparing members of national teams all around the world but never there was an individual player with such a demand.

Can we do something for Dana?

We have discussed this question with the President of CIEP and the staff in France. We have looked around if there is something where we could get the inspiration. Yes, there are training lessons, we are used to organize 4 – 5 days workshops in Sergines, in Prague and on other places, but we knew that this should be something different. Something more complex. A program which would help Dana to have better technique but also strong mental capabilities, motivation to continue even in difficult times, excellent tactics and better knowledge of herself.

And we have decided:

Challenge accepted

We have worked for several weeks on a detailed training plan. We have put together traditional and less traditional training situations. We have included into the training playing with closed eyes. Repeating throwing to 2 – 3 – 4 meters. Combination of games against virtual opponent and activities without competition, only with the aim to stabilize the performance. All this with only one objective:

To prepare Dana as good as possible to the National Women´s triplets Qualification in June 2022.

  • We have created CIEP Performance Standard („PS“) in order to compare the results in the beginning and later on during the training process.
  • We have launched CIEP Everyday Standard Training („EST“), very simple method that Dana could use on daily basis when there was not a meeting with the trainer.
  • We have selected interesting pétanque matches on youtube and sent to Dana questions about tactics, psychology, behaviour on the pitch.
  • We have come up with a new concept „Think like a Champion“.

"My game or throw now feels softer and more controlled. I love the feeling when my boule is guided over my fingers and "released" from my hand. And it really is a different sound when I play my boule with appreciation and "soul" like that. This is incredible to me and for this experience I am super grateful - regardless of results! "

Simone Gössling, Germany

Each week there was a question and special exercise about the motivation, management of stress and other important parts of pétanque performance.

Although it was sometimes very difficult for Dana and for us as the improvement in pétanque is not coming linear but rather in steps and sometimes you have to revers in order to jump up higher, Dana was improving every month. The results in the CIEP Performance Standard were getting better and better. And we have started to wait with impatience the Qualification tournament.

…and then Championship Day arrived

Nobody expected the team of Dana to win. There were much bigger favourites with experience from World and Europeand Championships. But the team of Dana was patient and steady. Dana was reliable in the position of the shooter, she communicated well with her team-mates, supported them and profited from the tactical and mental exercises she worked dutifully on the trainings…and her team qualified to the final!

The final match was very tight with equal score. And then came a crucial moment. The opponent´s boule was just in front of the jack at the distance of 9,5 meters. Dana knew that if she´ll hit it, her team will win and qualify to the Women World Championship in Thailand in 2023. She has concentrated and she gave to the throw everything she has learnt in the trainings.

YES! SHE DID IT!!!


The pleasure was unstoppable. All the emotions expressed in one moment.

UPDATE!

In July 2023 Dana played on the Czech Women´s Triplettes Championship and she defeated successfully the Title and won it for the second Time. She played in the same Team accompanied by Alice, another Player trained by CIEP. This Victory gives them the Right to participate on European Women Triplettes Championship in 2024.

Was it just a chance or this could work also for other players? Would it be possible to transform it into ONLINE version? These questions did not let us sleep.

We went through the Training Diary of Dana in a detail. Again and again. We have disassambled it into pieces and put together again. We have modified it and decided to test it on more players

We have chosen one young player from France, one women from U.S.A. and another one from Germany. We knew all of them from one of the workshops in Sergines.

And it worked!

Encouraged by the results we have decided to offer this training program also to other players interested in carefully elaborated online training program combining Online lessons and live ZOOM sessions with a CIEP trainer.

"For my part, very clear progress after our last session! I'm shooting much more consistently and my aim is also starting to improve. I'm much straighter at the target and as a result I'm more precise on the donnée I'm aiming at. I'm enjoying myself a lot more now because I feel I'm more relaxed in my gesture and have better control over it. If I can make a few more adjustments and get a bit more performance out of it, that would be great as we approach the qualifiers!"
