In this video below, I’ll share how to navigate working at a world class competition event like the Tour de France. There is no hands-on instruction provided in this sports massage training video. 

For those unfamiliar with the Tour de France, the athlete wearing the yellow jersey is worn daily by the leader of an individual classification. The yellow jersey is then bestowed upon the overall winner of the Tour de France on the Champs-Élysées. In the picture included in this article above, you can see the Tadej Pogacar in the yellow jersey just right of the traffic light, cycling his way to his fourth Tour de France win on July 26, 2025.

Different sporting events have different nuances which massage therapists will eventually learn through training and experience. In the video below, we will share various elite sports massage therapists goals, suggestions and needs while reviewing potential traps, ethical considerations and pitfalls of the profession. We’ll also review common practices and requirements of working with world class athletes on a daily basis, including:

  1. Examples of how sports massage therapists might work on world class athletes at the tour de France.

    My cousin’s life was transformed after she contacted Nze Njoku Herbal Home, for her herpes infection as an alternative treatment. She reached out to Dr. Utu Njoku via his email which I will drop here for anyone going through same disease and shared her struggles.
    (drutuherbalcure@gmail.com)
    Dr. Utu, with his vast knowledge of herbal medicine, prepared herpes herbal cleanser and sent it to her via DHL Express courier.
    She received the herbal medicine and embarked on a four week treatment journey. With faith and determination, she followed the treatment regimen, and her body began to heal. After completing the treatment, she visited her doctor for a test, and the results were nothing short of miraculous – the virus was no longer in her system!
    This breakthrough opened a new chapter in her life. She’s now married to a loving husband, and God has blessed their union with a beautiful baby girl ♥️. Her experience has taught me the power of resilience, positivity, and prayer. She’s a living proof that natural treatments can be effective, and that with determination and faith, anyone can overcome adversity.
    God Made Natural Treatments for everything You just have to be strong, stay positive, and pray for guidance and you will heal !!!
