High-level athlete but also military reservist. In my everyday life I am sunny, in a jovial mood. But once on the track, the lioness in me takes over. I have often been given a quality which is the fact of having a steely mind.

24h
"Ne jamais rien lâcher, tout est dans la tête!"
My convinction for choosing Etixx as sports nutrition partner
I chose Etixx initially because I met a Belgian athlete who let me taste an Etixx Protein Bar after a session and I really liked it, it woke me up.
Secondly, I was also looking for a nutrition partner who would accompany me until Paris 2024, because I felt energy problems in my day and during my sports practice.
Knowing how much nutrition is an important factor in performance and for my health, I decided to turn to Etixx. They would come here to complete my preparation and solve this energy problem.
My favorite Etixx products
I tried the Natural Oat Sports Bar in Kenya after a session, I lacked energy. It immediately gave me my energy back!
I also just tried Magnesium 2000AA with red fruits, I really liked it, it's so fresh!

Athletics (All-Around)
I am an athlete who is not easily satisfied with a performance. I always want to do better than the previous race and keep improving my personal records. I like to learn quickly. Sometimes I try to imitate or learn a technique by watching other athletes. I am very motivated during training and I don't give up easily, but sometimes I dare to let my head hang down when things don't go as I had hoped. I am always open to humour and jokes on and off the slopes.

Triathlon
Sport has been a key part of my life since I was a child. I spent years searching for the sport that would give me the most satisfaction. From dance, to judo, even to gymnastics and fitness. But nothing could match the feeling that running still gives me after all these years, time after time. I have found my release, my passion. A way to forget everything for a while and to prove to myself that I can do more than I ever thought I could.
