Sport is life learning

SPONSORING

If we are strong defenders of nature and environment, we cannot imagine life without leaving a place for sport.

Outdoor living is synonymous with well-being, fitness, physical activity, mentality and character, which are necessary key words if one is to progress in the professional environment.

We chose to support the both sons of the family in their sports activities, tennis for Nicolas and swimming for Hugo.

Nicolas, the youngest member of the family, has been involved in tennis since the age of 6, and at 15 now, characterizes himself as a 'hopeful' thanks to intensive training and a huge determination to progress:

• 2017           
  • • Playing in U12 category since he was 9

• 2019         
  • • Selected for the Madagascar U12 national team  
    • Madagascar U12 champion  
    • Begins to play in CAT Tennis U14 category (African continent tour)  
    • Integration into sport studies

• 2020     
  • • Après 3 tournaments in Europe, that year, marked by Covid, is devoted to intensive training on private court 

• 2021 
  • • Madagascar U14 nr 1, he plays in U14, U16, U18 and adults categories

• 2022 
  • • He leaves Madagascar

      for the south of France, where he competes in national juniors and adults tournaments, makes his Tennis Europe and ITF debuts and collects his first international victories

• 2023

  • • integration into the Justine Henin Academy with a view to joining the BNP Paribas program, first ITF points and victories in adult M2 tournaments.

Only involved in physical maintenance during the cooler months, he was looking forward to October to get back in the pool and intensify and harden his training programs.

And so, 2023 got off to the best possible start for him, with, in March, 3 victories in 3 races (50 m Crawl, 50 m Butterfly and 4x50 m Freestyle Relay) in his first competition of the year, followed by a silver medal in the 100 m Backstroke a week later.

Then in April, at the national competition in Tamatave, he beat his personal bests but had to settle for silver in the 50 m backstroke by a few centimetres.

The intensification of his training programs had borne fruits ; unfortunately for him, a lumbar problem forced him to undergo several months of rehabilitation at the start of the hot season, thus prohibiting him from competing for an indefinite period.

We wish you courage and fast recover, boy !
