Vincent Clerc: From rugby stadiums to entrepreneur : how orthopedics build resilience

Former rugby player and now entrepreneur, Vincent Clerc shares his perspective on resilience with Nicolas Reina and Etienne Cavaignac. He reflects on how major injuries, including ACL and Achilles tendon ruptures, helped him turn his focus inward and refine his path to progress, instead of bringing him down or threatening his career.

Through his personal journey, he explores the complex relationship athletes develop with traumatic injuries, particularly among young players who still feel the need to prove themselves. He also shares thoughts on how injury risks could be reduced — for example, by scheduling less intensive training between key matches, and by monitoring overall performance indicators more closely to detect signs of fatigue.
