Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
Liberty is the most invested university in terms of school and sports associations, and that's what made me choose this university. What's more, the coaches and teachers are very patient with the students.
Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
Just little habits on the pitch that allow me to feel comfortable, confident, and focused.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
Of course my parents, as they taught me everything and gave me everything. They went through complicated times, but they always knew how to bounce back and learn from their mistakes. That's what I remember about them.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
The fact that I won the senior French championship twice, which was incredible.
If you picked your jersey/uniform number, why is that number important to you?
I chose it because it represents all my efforts, and it gives me confidence.
Do you have any relatives who are playing or have played college or professional sports? (Names, relation to you, what/where they played)?
My father was a semi-professional rugby player in France.
Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
Breakfast! I love eating eggs with toast and fruit.
What is the first app you check on your phone each day?
Instagram
What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
Listening to music
Do you have any current pets (name and type of animal)?
Yes! I have one dog, a french bouledogue.
Who was your favorite athlete growing up?
Cristiano Ronaldo
What is your go-to karaoke song?
“Stay” by Rihanna
What is your dream vacation spot and why?
Brazil, because it's so beautiful.
