Instagram<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nWow, what an evolution! So, has Fran\u00e7ois always been your coach? When did you know he was the one?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYes, Fran\u00e7ois has always been my coach. At first, I knew nothing about athletics, but as time went by, I quickly realized that I'd come across the right coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He's a great listener. He's an enormously dedicated coach! He adapts to each athlete according to their needs, but also their investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He can be very professional, but also relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n

Because it's allowed me to gradually invest myself in the sport. Every year, we become a little more professional. And since this year, he's been trying to make me realize that I'm an adult and not just a young athlete. He suits me well. We get on well. He likes to build the athlete, and as he's had me from the start as a sprinter, that's the plan he prefers to carry out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Would you like to be a professional athlete or perhaps have a dual career?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor the moment, I have a dual career (studies and sport), and that suits me fine. I don't know how I'll evolve in the future. I hope I can continue to perform well and, if possible, aim for a professional career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What changes or improvements do you intend to make this year to bring you a little closer to the professional side of the sport?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI'd like to be even more diligent. Combine school and athletics well, and do more sports training. I'd like to apply myself a little more in each area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In seven years of evolution, what would you have done better, if you could change the past?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn my seven years of athletics, I wouldn't have changed much. I'm happy to have done sprinting and to have fallen at Seraing, surrounded by Fran\u00e7ois and my training buddies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why do you love running? What does running really do for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI love the adrenalin I get from sprinting. I have to work hard because I often have a lot of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But in everyday life, athletics gives me discipline, respect for my body and a healthy lifestyle. I've also learned to surpass myself.<\/p>\n\n\n

What's your best memory so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOne of my fondest memories was the European U23 relay championships in Espoo (Finland) in the summer of 2023. I felt so many different emotions. We just missed the podium. It was very frustrating, because on paper, we had a good chance, but that's how it is in relays... Nothing is won in advance. We were pretty disappointed, but then we put things into perspective. We'd done a national record U23<\/strong> in 43 seconds and 66 hundredths, so that put a smile back on our faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt was my favorite championship. I was surrounded by my girlfriends, and I also think of Delphine Nkanza<\/strong> ! She had won gold in the 200m. We were so excited at the finish line that we were shouting all over the place. My girlfriend is European champion!<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I left the championship with many good and different memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
