Interview
Why I should recruit you ?
Because my project comes after a long reflection and I have the maturity and the desire to give the best of myself in order to adapt myself to the best.
​
Why do you want to compete at US Colleges?
The United States is the country of collegiate sports. I want to take the opportunity to train intensely and represent a university while taking advantage of an athletic scholarship which will support my project.
The American colleges offer a setting adapted to my personal projects both in sports and at school, which I hope to be given the chance to conciliate.
What do you want to achieve in Track/XC?
I would like to progress in my favorite event, the 1500 meters. For that, I have to improve my weak points: flexibility and bodybuilding.
College and life goals?
I would like to go to the United States to speak English fluently, I already speak French and Spanish fluently. I would also like to learn about the company culture in the United States, which I think is very positive and dynamic. Professionally, I would like to find a transatlantic import / export company.
​
Anything to add
​
I practice athletics since 2015 and I’ve made progress every year. I am aware that I still have many aspects to improve in order to give the best of myself and to show off all my physical abilities.
