Biography

A two-time Olympic medalist and sports consultant, Florence Masnada shares the lessons of a career in which a few hundredths of a second can separate victory from defeat.

A champion forged by high standards

The only Frenchwoman ever to have won the World Cup combined title, Florence Masnada holds two Olympic medals, one World Championship medal, one World Cup victory and fourteen French national titles.

Fifteen years at the highest level taught her to prepare for the unexpected, manage pressure and keep going when results fail to come.

Turning failure into energy

A fall, an injury, a missed selection: elite sport means constantly confronting failure.

Florence Masnada shows how to analyze a setback, rebuild confidence and start again. For her, resilience is not a talent: it is a capacity that can be trained.

Behind every performance, a team

Even alone on the slope, a champion never wins alone.

Coaches, technicians, trainers, doctors, teammates: Florence reveals just how much individual performance owes to the team. An experience that speaks directly to the challenges of trust, cooperation and leadership in business.

A new chapter devoted to sharing what she has learned

A graduate of emlyon business school, Florence Masnada went on to become a sports consultant and journalist, notably for Eurosport.

With her podcast Belle Trace, she goes behind the scenes of performance with great champions.

President of the Association des Internationaux du Ski Français and a committed advocate for the mountains, she champions a human and responsible approach to performance.

In 2025, she was appointed Knight of the Légion d’honneur.
