WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ATHLETICS?

Muscly! This is the adjective that is most associated with athletes. This sport works on different muscles and sculpts the entire body with various physical exercises.

Running, jumping, throwing: the opportunities to stimulate the body's movements from head to toe in track and field are endless. Various muscle groups in action doing good to the entire body!

Make sure that the muscles of each part of the body are strong enough to perform the precise movements that are often repeated over and over again in each discipline.

 

As you can imagine, sport allows you to discover aspects about yourself that would otherwise have remained hidden forever…

Athletes will sometimes face tricky situations when practising their discipline and good self-knowledge comes in very handy when dealing with these trials.

Your legs cannot go any further, but a small voice is telling you to carry on, right? You are connecting with your inner motivation and, as you will see, it's pretty cool!

What, you need technique to jump over a hurdle?! Oops, the illusion is shattered… The actions, whether it is running, jumping or throwing, are repeated over and over again in order to memorise them and work on the perfect technique.

This will try the patience of certain athletes, but it is all worthwhile! The room for improvement is considerable.

With repetition, hard work and an understanding of every tiny detail that works, before you know it, your technique is almost flawless.

Our French champions know all about it: every detail of each performance in a competition is analysed after the event.

Whether it is a training group, cross-country team, an interclub team or a club full stop, athletics is great for bringing people together.

Very quickly, the trainer and coaching staff cultivate an atmosphere where sharing plays a key role. They pass on their talents and their love for their sport at very specific times.

It is a perfect environment for young people growing up, for meeting all kinds of people and overcoming any shyness!

Athletics is about a track, getting together with other people to share your experiences and achieving success as well as experiencing disappointment and thrills!

 

what is this title?! a simple truth, my friends: we are our own main obstacle to progress… The barriers we put up are huge, when actually, there are none!

Be simple, flexible and easy-going, move forward with no "buts".

The competition, the stress and the advice that is scary but that can really help you to surpass yourself and push back your limits.

If your hamstring is telling you to STOP, maybe your mind will be telling you to "carry on, you will succeed” without actually going to the point of injuring yourself.

Your conscience will be your measure: is it reasonable to push harder?
