On Athletics Club Europe reinforces coaching staff with Vincent Guyot
On Athletics Club Europe welcomes Vincent Guyot as a new assistant coach, working alongside head coach Thomas Dreißigacker.
ZURICH, Switzerland, June 10, 2024 — On’s European professional track team, On Athletics Club Europe, has added Frenchman Vincent Guyot to its coaching staff as an assistant coach. The 26-year-old will assist head coach Thomas Dreissacker in training and developing the team's 13 young athletes.
“I’m excited to be part of the coaching team for the OAC Europe team. It's great to see a brand like On invest in young athletes, and being a part of their development is super exciting. I look forward to working with Thomas and helping this group of young athletes develop”, Guyot says.
Growing up, Guyot has always been interested in sports. He competed in athletics but noticed early on that his passion lay more in helping others win medals than fighting for them himself.
Following his Bachelor's and Master's studies, Guyot began a PhD at the National Institute of Sport, Exercise and Performance (INSEP) in Paris, France. Here, he became more involved in optimizing an athlete’s performance, examining pacing, shoes, and other aspects to take athletes to the next level.
Simultaneously, he also started working with some French athletes at the National Institute of Sport and soon realized that he preferred the hands-on approach to his research work. Having met Coach Dreissacker at the World Championships in Budapest in 2023, Guyot took the leap, leaving behind his studies to become the assistant coach for the On Athletics Club Europe team.
Complementing Thomas Dreißigacker’s training, Guyot will invest time in tools, data, and scientific monitoring of the team, which is based in St. Moritz, Switzerland, during the summer and Dullstroom, South Africa, in the winter.
Speaking on his new assistant coach, OAC Europe Head Coach Thomas Dreissacker said: “I’m excited that we have been able to bring Vincent on board. I’m confident that we’ll be able to complement each other with my experience and his insights into using data to optimize performances. The team has welcomed him with open arms and I believe we’ve taken first steps in a successful collaboration.
