His main strength as a field player is his ability to jump very high, to the point of being able to score goals above interfering defense players. This ability has earned him the nickname of Air France, in France as well as in Germany, where he currently plays for THW Kiel (in replacement for no less a player than Nikola Karabatic).
He is a long time player on the France national handball team, with which he won all major titles: world championship (twice, in 2001 and 2009), European champion (twice, in 2006 and 2010) and Olympic champion (in 2008).
He was voted into the All star team at the 2008 European Men's Handball Championship,[2] where France finished third.
