Behavioral & mental-performance architecture · Football

Most coaching stops at what.
Mine starts at why.

Behavioural science — DISC and stress profiling — proven on the pitch and measured by data. I build environments where players progress: measurably, durably.

The difference

I read the human, inside the game.

Video tells you what a player did. GPS tells you how much his body produced. Neither tells you why he disappeared when it mattered — or how to change it. That missing layer is what I build, and what FOOTUR measures.

Video — Wyscout, Hudl
What he does

Passes, duels, expected goals. Necessary — but it only describes the symptom.

Physical — Catapult, GPS
How much

Distance, sprints, load. It tells you the body's output, never the mind behind it.

Footur — behaviour
Why & how to progress

DISC profile, reaction under stress, motivators, levers. The data your competitors don't have.

Proof on the pitch

D1 champions in 7 months — now in U19 R1.

October 2025: I took over a recreational group with no competitive structure. By spring, champions of D1 — best attack and best defence of the group. In a semi-professional pre-season they had already held their own against U19 Régional 1 sides; with the title, the squad earned promotion to that level — now in U19 R1. Documented, traceable, presentable to any sporting director or investor. Al hamdulillah.

“Before, I used to stress. Now I know what I'm going to do — I control the decision and the execution.”Tom C. — Defensive midfielder
“My level went from a 6 in September to an 8 in March. First time I could measure my progress with real numbers.”Charles M. — Right-back
“My shots are ten times better when I'm confident — now I anticipate instead of react.”Mahel H. — Midfielder
“You pass on real values — in football and as a person. I enjoy coming now, which wasn't the case before.”Yaya T. — Forward
“Selim brings a data dimension never seen at amateur level — which pushed the players to chase their full potential.”Renzo-Angelo Da Silva Fetone — President · FC Bezannes 2050

The system

FOOTUR — the platform behind the results.

An AI platform that turns behavioural science into daily coaching: 3-layer DISC profiles, motivators, a 10-dimension radar per player, match-prep frameworks and an AI assistant. A licensable system for clubs and academies — not a person you have to clone.

DISC 3D

Profile under pressure

Three layers — natural, adapted, traumatic stress. The real reactions when pressure exceeds resources.

TTB

Tac Tac Boom

Concentrate, focus, let go. Pressure management trained into a conditioned reflex.

FOOT 9

Decide in 3 seconds

3 to see and decide, 3 to act, 3 to finish. Elite decision-making made readable and repeatable.

7 Maîtrises

360° match prep

Strategic, opponent, identity, tactical, emotional, physiological, managerial. Nothing improvised.

The platform, in practice

What the human layer looks like.

Not a promise — a working tool: behavioural profile, pressure response and position fit, measured for every player. Player names are anonymised here.

FOOTUR — DISC profile FOOTUR — changes under pressure FOOTUR — position / profile fit

DISC profile — 3 layersNatural, under stress, under high stress — how a player really reacts when pressure exceeds their resources.

Changes under pressureWhich players shift profile under stress — the why behind disappearing in the decisive moment.

Position / profile fitEach player's best position by behavioural profile — actionable, not just descriptive.

Where the method comes from

Fifteen years reading people — before the pitch.

Before football, I spent fifteen years coaching leaders — more than 3,500 executives trained in behavioural precision and leadership, 300+ DISC programmes. The football work is that same science, applied to the body and the game.

“Selim has this ability to rally people around him — real leadership qualities. I strongly recommend working with him.”

Gérald Karsenti — former CEO SAP · HP · Oracle · IBM · Professor, HEC Paris

“Selim embodies his vision and makes you want to push boundaries. He inspired our HEC Paris Exed Executive Master cohort — brilliantly.”

The man behind the coach

I apply to myself what I ask of them.

A hip replacement at 32. Twelve years without sport. At 44, I have never performed better — because the method is mine first. I use it on myself, on my own son, and on the players I coach. I read the human within the game; and faith runs quietly through all of it.

On the pitch
For whom

If you build players — not just buy them.

Academies, federations, youth-development programmes, sporting directors and investors who want measurable human development — not only technical drills. I bring the behavioural layer, the method, and FOOTUR.
