After a very sporty childhood: athletics, jiu-jitsu, bodybuilding, it was only at the age of 40 that she took up archery. Initially it was to support my children, then I followed the advice of my trainer, I competed.
She becomes league champion.
Licensed at the Aizenay club, she coaches a little and we push her towards the coaching diploma: practice, safety, group management, she validates. She coached at the Aizenay club from 2004 while training a little then more and more at Beignon-Basset. A shoulder injury kept her out of shooting for three years. Since then, I only shoot with a compound bow, which allows me to not always be in tension.
it is a release which releases the arrow. In 2018, she only coached at Beignon-Basset, some of which she had already been doing for around fifteen years.
What she likes about her job: It is first of all a passion. Archers must have fun, if they want competition, they do it, competition or not, it is above all their choice
she likes to repeat. She wants to teach archers to shoot correctly. A good adjustment, a good position, it must be in the yellow
she said simply. She wants to provide the foundations for an archer to become independent in one year. To do this, she gives advice to beginners: The hand doesn’t go up, take your time Enzo, you move closer to your face.
Which makes one of the novice shooters exclaim: That’s a lot to think about at once!
She has a little crush on those she calls the collectors. These are the retirees who come to train on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. Despite the relaxation, without forgetting the safety rules, she is pleased to see some of them register for the competitions. Jean-Yves even installed a target at his home, and in the evening, he shoots a few arrows in his furnished cabin.
Thirty years of archery, It taught me to concentrate. When we shoot, we don’t think about anything else, we leave our worries aside and we must not get distracted
. Even though it is a group course, it provides completely individual advice. Sometimes we leave the bow to go to work with the bungee, we have to adapt to the morphology of the shooter. It’s truly a passion, otherwise I would have stopped a long time ago.
