“Patrice worked with my team at Rugby Libre Project in the Maroc Tour 2017. Great positive and helpful attitude. Always taking care of the team, the people and the persons that took part on the project. Different roles as translation, as he speaks perfect english, french & spanish; educator, leading practices with kids, young and adults, and also helping hard with the coordination & organization of the activities and the whole country tour. Appreciate him as a person and as a professional. "

“Very good exchanges with Patrice during this training in rugby video analysis as much on the tactical, technical or strategic part. The quality of these exchanges was facilitated by Patrice's very good relationship and his ability to appropriate the software used."

“Patrice was a very efficient and professional manager for the National Team during. He was able to work within budget, coordinate quality activities and solve issues associated to his position. He is particularly talented for personal relations and he was abel to deal with the stress associated with high performance sports always maintaining a professional and efficient work attitude."

" Patrice takes a very professional approach to the sport and is always giving his best in preparations, trainings as well as during our matches. His work rate on the pitch is second to none. Patrice also managed to increase the attendance of this event from 40 to 200+ participants. Patrice not only sold the club to its own members in a professional light, he gave the club a platform for future events. Patrice is extremely organised and takes a very professional approach to the tasks he takes on. It is a pleasure to endorse Patrice for his skills both on and off the rugby pitch. "
