“Constant discomfort leads to exhaustion”
In an interview given for the release of her book Boostez votre énergie (Kennes), former world No. 9 tennis player and Olympic medalist Dominique Monami, now a professional coach, explains why she chose to devote a book to energy management: to distill 18 years of keynotes and workshops, and to pass on to as many people as possible the skills she learned during her sports career.
She lays out her method: alternating intense effort with recovery to avoid burnout, distinguishing three types of energy (mental, physical, emotional), identifying your energy “boosters” and “drainers,” and building in regular breaks to disconnect. She also shares two tips for starting the year off right: take stock of the year gone by and set aside time for yourself.
