Personal Details

Bio

Axel Allétru, Rally-raid driver, Elite athlete & motivational speaker.

While he was considered one of the great hopes of French motocross, Axel Allétru suffered a serious crash during the 2010 World Championships. The verdict was clear: at 20 years old, Axel became paraplegic. But rather than resigning or being angry, Axel learnt resilience, motivation and visualization. Hard work in rehabilitation will take him much further on the road to recovery than what was predicted by the doctors. 3 years later, he has become champion in disabled swimming during the European games and 12 times champion of France.

A true committed athlete, Axel Allétru today shares his life experience in order to demonstrate that we can bounce back after a life difficulty (accident, handicap, etc.) and that “nothing is impossible” for who works hard and has faith.

THE IMPOSSIBLE CREATES POSSIBILITIES

Alex shares his life story so that it resonates
in you.
Each one of us must find his own path
and the resources required to move forward.
Axel Allétru believes that the impossible creates
possibilities and he has set himself a mission to
share that belief.
He speaks to companies about his life experience
and his career as an elite athlete to help employees
find perspective, to inspire self-motivation, and to
develop team spirit for facing new challenges with
the right mindset.
Axel chose to turn his accident into a lesson for life:
accept certain situations, overcome challenges with
resilience, and move forward to a better future.
With his presentations, Axel shows business teams
in all sectors how to find the motivation and confidence to bounce back and keep moving forward

Motivate and revitalize your employees

A difficult year for the company ? A decrease in motivation ? New challenges to come ? Re-energize your teams and get them motivated.
Find out how Axel was able to find his motivation to walk again and bounce back by practicing disabled swimming and becoming 12 times France champion and record holder on several occasions.

Performance and disability

We often hear negative things about disability. In business or in life, we no longer know how to experience it or manage it around us. Disability can above all be a driver of performance and cohesion within a family as well as within a company.

Find out how Axel has transformed his disability into strength, and his history a way to unite people around him.

Behind every high level athlete there is a team, the same goes for the entrepreneur

In sport as in business, , reaching the top level is the result of individual and collective performance. Like a professional athlete, a business leader must know how to surround himself himself with a strong and united team.

Find out how Axel was able to reach the top level in different sports thanks to the team he built around the project.
