Trampoline Club des Monts d'Or: France

Guillaume Burgeon [national], FRA; Sebastien Martiny [national]; Tristan Lajarrige [national]; Julie Perreten [national]

She began practising artistic gymnastics at age four and switched to trampolining at age 13.

After some time practising artistic gymnastics she was encouraged to switch to trampolining when she was trying to make the national team. "I immediately got hooked by trampolining. When I was a little girl I loved bouncing, it made me laugh. But what I liked the most it's this feeling of flying that you cannot find as much in gymnastics."

RETURN TO SPORT
After missing the qualification for the 2012 Olympic Games in London she stepped away from the sport. She was also struggling with a back injury which obliged her to wear a brace and doctors advised her to quit the sport. She returned in 2015 with the aim of qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. "I had some regrets. I had the feeling of not accomplishment. I was not happy at 100%, I was missing something." Her bid to qualify for the Games was unsuccessful. "I missed them by just a bit. I was not able to manage the three selection tests. I think that I was in a hurry, without enough time as I only returned to training six months in advance. I put myself under a lot of pressure." She once again left the sport and began her career as a mental coach. In February 2023, and after six years without training, she decided to return, again, with the goal of competing at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
