After being crowned swimming champion on several occasions, Camille Lacourt speaks today about her mental health. From this Tuesday, October 10, 2023, he will be featured in a documentary called “Strong, as strong as fragile”, broadcast on Prime Video, and in which he talks about the burn-out he faced.
In Fifty shades of bluehis autobiographical published in 2019 by Michel Lafon, Camille Lacourt had already spoken about this sad period of his life, marked by psychological suffering and his burn-out after his failure at the 2012 Olympic Games, he who had experienced the glory two years earlier.
Guest on the show “RTL Bonsoir” on RTL this Monday, October 9, 2023, Camille Lacourt spoke about his documentary and returned to his discomfort. “When you’re in your career you don’t have the right to talk about it, it’s something you put aside. I’m not sure it’s something taboo but in any case it’s something new” he declared to Julien Sellier, Marion Calais and Cyprien Cini.
“Maybe the sport is starting to be professional, at the time it wasn’t necessarily so. Returning to normal life was perhaps less difficult. I’ve been counting tiles for 15 years, to put it bluntly. My life revolved around swimming. My philosophy was just to swim and perform and so when you come out of there or when you experience a failure, it’s difficult to get back up.”.
