The Lion - New Gym / Facility at Royal Excel Mouscron

This project is one of the things that always reminds us of why we do things the way we do in life. Always pushing the envelope and trying to improve on any given situation.

I tasked my client Alfred Ntiamoah to explore any opportunities that we can leverage to make a lasting impact on the club and it didn’t take long for him to come back to me and tell me about the workout facilities at the time which didn’t allow for him to get the most out of his planned sessions.

I immediately called for a session to discuss what can be done and so we started building a case to take to the board to grant a project that would transform the facility completely.

Consulting my client on strong points as well as scaling those in a way in which you will not only make your point but also include the club’s best interest and present it as a win/win situation for all parties involved. And if you have any idea about this kind of stuff then you know these projects aren’t the cheapest so we were prepared for a little back and forth with the board. As a result, he earned the trust to go and design a facility with the allocated budget. (Remember this is only month 5 of his stint - this is major!)

It became a big initiative for the club, players, and even fans that showed the board the value my client brings to the club.

Check out the pictures in the slide that showcase the facility as we came to find it and what we essentially turned it into. The remarkable result even landed my client a page in the local papers as well as a TV interview.

Sometimes you’ve “simply” got to lead the powers that be in the direction that works for you and don’t be afraid to shake things up a little.

A proud moment for sure.
