Lyon, France · June 2026
Twenty years around the DUEPP.
Zeina Mina and Georges Assaf joined longtime colleagues and friends in Lyon for a reunion built around the European University Diploma in Physical Preparation (DUEPP). Two decades of collaboration, friendship and shared passion for the craft of coaching.
The reunion
Beyond diplomas, it is the people.
Twenty years of collaboration, friendship and shared passion for our profession. In June, Zeina Mina and Georges Assaf had the pleasure of taking part in a gathering that brought together longtime colleagues and friends around the European University Diploma in Physical Preparation (Diplome Universitaire Europeen de Preparation Physique, DUEPP) in Lyon.
It was a simple, warm occasion, marked by reunions, the sharing of experiences, a few well-earned retirements, and above all the celebration of professional and human bonds built over the years. Because beyond diplomas and institutions, it is people and the relationships they build that make our profession rich.
That network is part of the foundation SAS Coaching Diploma is built on: educators who have spent careers raising the standard of physical preparation, and who carry that pedigree into every cohort we run.
