Interview

What makes you different?

II think I stand out from the other swimmers and classmates because of my determination and seriousness in training and at school. I’m someone who pushes my group to the top in training, I like to play the role of leader and sometimes give advice on how to improve. I’m not one to lose motivation; on the contrary, when I have a goal, I’m 100% determined. I like to study and learn new things/cultures, I’m also committed to my work and quite punctual in my work. I’m also a good listener to trainers and teachers, and I don’t turn down advice. What’s more, I like group spirit, like swimming in relays for example, because it’s a motivating factor.

Why do you want to play in the U.S college system?

I am currently in a high school and I was in middle school that’s trying to copy the american system and i really like it. i watch videos and read testimonials from people who are in different universities and i particularly like the atmosphere between the students and the relationship that an athlete can have with his teacher. i think that this system helps me work even more than normal schools because you feel less stressed by the classes.

Swimming and Life goals

My biggest goal is to get the best diploma in college to found a job in USA, In France or in other countries.

Anything else we should know

you should know that, as I said, I’m very committed to my work and my projects and that I’m more than motivated to achieve my goals.
