FRANCOIS RAYMOND

Kinesiologist and strength and conditioning coach

François Raymond, who holds a master’s degree in kinesiology, has been a strength and conditioning coach at INS Québec since 2014. In addition to his work in physical conditioning, he also undertakes training and knowledge dissemination mandates related to the science of training. Currently responsible for supporting the Canadian para-cycling and boxing teams, François has lent his expertise to a wide range of sports over the past decade: mountain and road cycling, para-swimming, canoe-kayak, judo, and goalball. Throughout these roles, he has distinguished himself through his focus on individualized training, the importance he places on interpersonal relationships, and the cohesion of the multidisciplinary teams he works with. Competition and performance remain part of his daily life in sports, though he can’t imagine competing with the athletes he has the pleasure of coaching!
