J’ai été athlète de haut niveau durant 6 ans entre mes 12 et mes 18 ans. Je pratiquais la gymnastique rythmique en équipe, et en apparence tout semblait bien se passer. Nous avons réalisé des championnats du monde et nous avons obtenu de bons résultats. Mon état s’est dégradé au fur et à mesure des années jusqu’à devenir insoutenable provoquant ainsi l’arrêt définitif de ma pratique.

Ainsi, ces années dans le sport de haut niveau m’ont beaucoup abimées, et je vous partage ici les quelques facteurs qui selon moi, m’ont prédisposé à des fragilités.
