On the mic: Romain Huet – Coach and Selector of the French Rugby Sevens Team
ROMAIN, IN WHAT CONTEXT DOES THIS TRAINING CAMP TAKE PLACE?
We’re currently in a training camp preparing for our tour in Asia, in Hong Kong and Singapore, which will take place at the end of the month and early April.
WHY DO YOU REGULARLY COME BACK TO TRAIN HERE?
When you feel good somewhere, you don’t hesitate to come back. Here, it’s true that we benefit from all the facilities, from the dojo to the weight room. There’s the synthetic pitch, a gymnasium, and fields of excellent quality. For us, it means we can train in the best conditions, because we have very little time between each tournament and every session has to be maximized.
ROMAIN, WHAT DOES A TYPICAL RESTART DAY LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?
A restart day begins with a strength training session in the gym, followed by a solid afternoon session against the Olympic Academy. Then we head off to Hong Kong and Singapore at the end of next week. After coming back from Singapore, we’ll have three weeks of rest and training to get ready for the final in Los Angeles.
