“A balance of life”
The birth of Olympe had a real impact on her life, and in particular on her career as a handball player. “Since this happy event, I feel much more woman, much more filled, even in the practice of sport, I feel stronger and better.“, can we read on the official website of the Olympic Games.
“Physically, I feel better. Psychologically, when I go to training, I’m more efficient. When I leave for a long time, I try to do it for a good cause, not to leave for a month for nothing. And that allows me to be more detached with the practice and more adult in certain situations. We relativize much more when we are a parent“, she explained, in more detail, in the columns of the Telegram.
Moreover, although it requires “a hell of an organization“, without forgetting the fatigue and “disturbed nights“that go with it,”it’s the personal development that makes the difference” she said, still for the Breton media. “It allows me to have a balance in life, to be more fulfilled on a personal and sporting level. When you’re a top athlete, you feel like you’re missing out on a part of your life. There, we have the impression of living the life of a person of his age“, she added.
The 33-year-old, angry last year with the newspaper The Teamis also grateful for the gesture of her club in Brest, “who maintained [son] salary when he was not obliged to do so“.”It was one hell of a chance” she had admitted, at a time when “becoming a mother when you are a high-level athlete is still a bit taboo“.
