Tê'ta head with Arthur Serrières, Xterra


Can you introduce yourself ?

Born in Auvergne, in Issoire, I started by doing mountain biking in my youth. Around 15 years old I turned to triathlon and quickly to the practice Off Road. With my boutique past and my love for outdoor sports I completely joined the discipline. I started to train hard after my baccalaureate, when I joined the Faculty of Staps in Clermont Ferrand. Since then I have not dropped the case and I continue to enjoy every day on the side of Montpellier. I graduated from a master's degree in staps and I finish a master's degree in the faculty of pharmacy in food science (and lots of "small additional diplomas"). I arrive thanks to the status of a high level sportsman to train more than 30 hours per week under the supervision of Aurelien Lebrun and the Montpellier Triathlon.
