Q&A
Start in Racquetball: I started to play when I was eight years old, with my brother. My parents had been playing for many years and always brought us along to the club in Baie-Comeau.
Reason for playing: I play racquetball because I love the sport. I like to push myself and I like playing with my brother and training with my coach. I love the competition that racquetball offers me.
Training habits:A normal week of training during racquetball season is practicing racquetball with my coach, playing racquetball with my brother, and working out at the gym.
Best Racquetball moment or memory: My best moment since leaving the junior level and becoming an elite athlete is winning the 2019 Canadian Championship Open Doubles title with my brother. My first final on the professional circuit is also a defining moment in my career. My victory in the Atlanta 2019 professional tour tournament.
Non – Racquetball Talents: Pickleball and Squash.
When you are not playing Racquetball you are probably:Watching TV, playing other sports, or spending time with my brother.
What is something that people might not know about you or find surprising? Nothing.
Advise for athletes who want to play at your level:I would tell them to never quit, to train hard and that the hard work always pays off.
Who has been important in your developed as a racquetball athlete? The most important factor in my development was moving to Brossard with my brother for our studies and for racquetball. Since we arrived in Brossard, my trainer Rino Langelier has followed my development much more closely. Rino and my brother have been the key to my development as a racquetball player.
