<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Comme vous le savez sans doute, le CNEPH revient de Thunder Bay où
se déroulaient les qualifications pour les Championnats du Monde Junior et U23.
Satisfaits de vos performances ou non, qualifiés ou non, bravo à tous! Encore
une fois, j'ai pu constater le nombre incroyable de skieurs qui «mettent
leur coeur sur la ligne». C'est fou le nombre de skieurs qui espéraient se qualifier lors de cette fin de semaine. Il est alors très important de se rappeler (je m'inclus totalement là-dedans!) que nous faisons du ski parce que nous adorons ça et parce que nous sommes bons même si ça n'implique pas toujours un voyage en Europe. Les qualifications peuvent parfois être très difficiles pour ceux qui performent moins bien que ce à quoi ils s'attendaient et s'étaient entraîné pour, mais, ce que je veux souligner ici, c'est que ces personnes n'ont pas moins de mérite que ceux qui réussissent. Ils ont fait très souvent autant d'efforts et de décisions pas toujours faciles et ils ont au moins la même passion que les autres pour le sport. Il est vrai que <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 18px;">«Les Grands performent dans les grands moments», mais parfois, ça ne marche tout simplement pas. Dans tous les cas, bravo à ceux qui s'envolent demain pour l'Europe et à ceux qui ont atteint leurs objectifs. Pour les autres, je vous conseille de lire le nouvel article de Pavlina Suldrich, <a href="http://coach-pav.com/">ICI</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Une autre chose que je voulais souligner ici: merci à mes coéquipiers! Bonnes courses ou mauvaises courses, ils sont là. Que ce soit pour célébrer ou pleurer, ils comprennent parce qu'ils sont passés par là. C'est pourquoi une équipe est si précieuse et importante. Bon j'arrête de larmoyer, je vous laisse sur une photo de guerrière:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">As you probably already know, the Pierre Harvey training Center is just coming back from the World Junior and U23 Championships trials in Thunder Bay. Wether you are happy with your races or not, qualified or not, congratulations to all! We (myself very included) often get caught up into the qualifications processes and the stress involved and we need to be reminded that we do this because we love it, and that yes, we are good at it even if it doesn't always involve a trip to Europe. As always, I am amazed with the amount of skiers who </span><span style="font-size: 18px;">«put their heart on the line» and give everything they have hoping to qualify for World Junior or U23. Trials can be really harsh to those who do less good than expected and had trained for. My point here is that these persons make as much efforts and love the sport at least as much as those who do qualify. Somedays, it just doesn't work. It happens. Anyways, high five to all of you who are flying to Europe tomorrow and to those who achieved their goals. For the others, make sure to check out Pavlina Suldrich's newest post. <a href="http://coach-pav.com/">HERE</a></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Here is another point I wanted to make. Good or bad races, great friends
and teammates are there for them all. Wether it is to celebrate or cry, they
understand because they have been there. This is why a team is so precious and
important. Ok, enough with the dramatic, here is a warrior's photo:</span></div>

Participer à ma première Coupe du Monde devant plus de
50 000 spectateurs (selon Radio-Canada) et dans un décor de carte postale, c’est quand même pas si pire! J’ai
raconté cette histoire à plusieurs personnes déjà, mais j’ai trouvé
exceptionnelle la fin de mon échauffement et le moment où je me suis avancée
vers la ligne de départ. Nous nous réchauffions sur une piste de 300 mètres sur
les Plaines d’Abraham et nous ne pouvions entendre que la voix de l’annonceur
en sourdine. À quinze minutes de mon départ, j'ai commencé à marcher vers le parcours. Le bruit de la foule assemblée autour du parcours était incroyable! Je n'en revenais pas! Ça fait réellement chaud au coeur de voir que tous ces gens s'étaient déplacés pour nous encourager! Fini le temps où le ski de fond est un sport méconnu et associé à grand-maman dans son champ avec ses skis de bois! J'ai donc marché vers le départ tout en croisant environ 95 parents, amis et membre de la communauté du ski de fond. C'est en passant sous les portes Saint-Louis que j'ai vraiment réalisé que j'avais le trac. Pas à cause de la pression de faire un bon résultat (je n'aspirais qu'à faire de mon mieux et de prendre de l'expérience), mais à cause de toute la foule qui allait me regarder skier! Ça a l'air nono, mais c'est tellement impressionnant! La prochaine fois, je vais le savoir et je vais être plus prête, mais je pense que ça a un peu nui à ma course... Ça reste une expérience inoubliable! Je tiens à féliciter les organisateurs de l'évènement et les visionnaires qui y ont cru. Ils ont même été victimes de leur succès... la prochaine fois, ça va prendre des estrades! </div>

Après un excellent camp d’entraînement de deux semaines sur
la neige (on avait hâte!) l’équipe du Centre National d’entraînement Pierre
Harvey a pris part la fin de semaine dernière à ses premières courses dans les
parcours sélectifs de Canmore en Alberta. Nous les skieurs, «on niaise pas avec
ça!». Les premières courses étaient des sélections pour la Coupe du Monde de
sprint de Québec et pour les Coupes du Monde de sprint et de distance de
Canmore. En raison d’une blessure et d’une petite opération à l’épaule droite,
c’était également mes premières courses depuis le 12 février dernier! Je
remercie mes coéquipières d’avoir enduré ma nervosité, parce que je pense que j’avais
besoin de rebâtir ma confiance de course. Bilan : une bonne préparation
mais des courses pas géniales... Samedi, c’était un sprint skate de 1,3km et je
suis contente de ma 17<sup>e</sup> position en qualifications à 0,2 secondes de
ma coéquipière Frédérique (euh attend, Fred? Une sprinteuse? Je vous le dit, on
s’est entraînées fort cet été et le programme du CNEPH, c’est quelque chose!).
Mes quarts de finales ont été moyen et j’ai terminé au 21<sup>ième</sup> rang.
Ce n’était pas supposé être assez bon pour me qualifier pour les Coupes du
Monde, mais parce que quelques filles se sont désistées pour rester à Canmore, je
suis qualifiée pour le sprint de Québec! Un premier départ en Coupe du Monde et
en plein cœur de la ville de Québec en plus, c’est vraiment réaliser un rêve!
Je vous fais signe dès que je réalise que ça arrive pour vrai!</div>

Ma course de dimanche n’a vraiment pas bien été
malheureusement. Mais voir mes coéquipiers réaliser d’aussi bonnes performances,
ça me confirme que le programme d’entraînement de l’équipe est top notch et que
mes bonnes courses de distance vont arriver très bientôt quand la forme sera à
son meilleur! C’est également très motivant, et ça me donne le goût d’aller
très vite! J’aimerais en profiter pour remercier les personnes qui nous aident
à tous les jours à être meilleurs : Mireille, Isabelle, Sarah, Charles,
Lee, Peter, Annie, François, Sacha, Anne, Vincent, God, Louis ainsi que tous
les administrateurs bénévoles du CNEPH.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">What do we
do at a Cross Country Canada women’s committee retreat? We don’t ONLY sing and
dance around in our pajamas and we certainly don’t complain about men. At all.
I mean it. We trained hard, had a lot of fun, and worked on building a world
leading women’s cross country skiing program. More specifically, Pavlina
Suldrich, coach of the Ontario Ski Team, Sharleen Hoar, performance psychologist
of the National Team, the NDTC Thunder Bay girls and the CNEPH girls got together
last week-end in a house in Mont Saint-Anne.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">On Friday
morning, we had high quality classic roller ski training with technique focus
during double-poling speeds. In the afternoon, Charles Castonguay, the CNEPH strength
coach, hold a Pilates and stretching session for us. As every Friday for the
CNEPH girls, it was a chance for us to concentrate on very specific groups of
muscles as well as core and balance. After eating a delicious dinner made of
homemade tourtières, salad and crêpes, we started the important work with
Sharleen. The main focus of the night was to brainstorm on what we need to do
and to change in order to create a world leading women’s cross country skiing
program. We were oriented on the solutions and not the problems, so it was very
constructive. Ideas and recommendations came out such as enhancing
communication between non-skiers and skiers, strengthening the bounds between
Western and Eastern Canada and having smaller coach to athlete ratios. Since
everybody arrived to the retreat very determined to work together and to share
their stories and thoughts, it was a very productive discussion and I am
excited to see what positive outcomes will come out of it.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">On Saturday
morning, it was time for us to an intervals session. We drove to a nice
pavement spot with a significant hill for some pyramid intervals. It was great
to do that training with different people than usual and everyone was in good
shape and ready to give it her best. What would a women’s gathering be without
an escapade to the spa? After a hard training, we hit the Zonespa for some
relaxation. For dinner, we had Erin’s delicious pizzas on homemade dough. The
topic of Saturday night’s discussion was professionalism and how to concretely
achieve being a world leading program. We brainstormed again on the technical
and tactical, physiological, psychological and other aspects of being
professional about skiing. The ideas were for example the right attitude, the
importance of putting yourself out there for the media, the communication with
coaches and teammates, monitoring your data, etc. I really think this made us
realize many things and that it will be helpful in our training and racing
starting this week. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">To
conclude, this retreat was a very good opportunity to make new friends and to
reflect on critical aspects of cross country ski racing. It was also a good
occasion to laugh at one another’s accents while we practice our second
language! </span></div>

Que fait-on à un mini-camp du comité des femmes de ski de
fond Canada? On ne fait pas QUE danser et chanter en pyjama et on ne se plaint
certainement pas des gars. Vraiment pas. C’est juré! On s’est entraînées fort,
on s’est amusées et on a réfléchit sur comment devenir des leaders mondiales en
ski de fond. Plus spécifiquement, Pavlina Suldrich, l’entraîneure de l’Équipe
de l’Ontario, Sharleen Hoar, psychologue de l’Équipe Nationale, et les filles
du Centre National et Thunder Bay et de Québec se sont réunies pour la fin de
semaine dans un chalet au Mont Sainte-Anne.</div>

Vendredi matin, nous avons fait un très bon entraînement de
ski à roulettes (malgré le tapis blanc sur les gazons...) classique avec des
sprints de double-poussée. L’après-midi, nous avons eu une séance de Pilates et
d’étirements avec Charles Castonguay, préparateur physique au CNEPH. Comme à
tous les vendredis pour les filles du CNEPH, ce fût une très bonne occasion de
nous concentrer sur certains groupes de muscles importants et de travailler nos
abdominaux et notre flexibilité. Pour souper, les anglophones ont pu goûter à
la cuisine québécoise : tourtières maisons et crêpes étaient au menu avec
une bonne salade! C’est en soirée que le gros du travail a pu commencer.
Nous avons discuté sur ce que nous avons besoin de changer et de créer afin de
devenir des leaders dans le monde du ski de fond. Le focus était vraiment sur
les solutions et moins sur les problèmes, c’était donc très constructif.
Augmenter la communication entre les skieurs et les non-skieurs, renforcer les
liens entre les gens de l’Ouest et les gens de l’Est et diminuer les ratios
coachs-athlètes sont parmi les idées et les recommandations qui sont
ressorties. Comme nous sommes toutes arrivées au mini-camp déterminées à
travailler ensemble et à partager nos idées et points de vue, c’était une
discussion très productive et j’ai très hâte d’en voir les résultats concrets.</div>

Samedi matin, c’était le temps de forcer avec une belle
séance d’intervalles. Nous nous sommes rendus en voiture jusqu’à un endroit
tranquille et au dénivelé propice pour des intervalles en pyramide. C’était
vraiment bien de s’entraîner avec des gens différents et toutes étaient en
grande forme et donc prêtes à donner leur maximum. Ensuite, que serait une fin
de semaine entre filles sans une escapade au spa? Après un entraînement
difficile, le Zonespa était parfait pour relaxer. Décidément, ce camp était
très réussi du côté culinaire et la pizza maison d’Erin était délicieuse! Le
sujet de la discussion de la soirée était le professionnalisme et comment mettre
en pratique l’idée de leadership mondial. Nous nous sommes demandées comment
être professionnelles dans les aspects physiques, techniques, tactiques et
psychologiques du ski de fond. Par exemple, une attitude adéquate, un suivi
rapproché de nos données d’entraînement, une bonne relation avec les médias et
une bonnes relations entre les athlètes, entraîneurs et personnel de soutien
sont tous des aspects du professionnalisme dans le sport qui peuvent nous aider
personnellement dès maintenant si on les met en pratique et qui rendront notre
institution plus forte à long terme. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Pour conclure, ce mini-camp fût également une excellente
occasion de se faire de nouveaux amis et de réfléchir à des aspects critiques
de ski de fond de compétition. On a aussi pu rire des accents des autres en
apprentissage d’une deuxième langue! <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span></span></div>

Un proverbe chinois dit que les
femmes portent la moitié du ciel. La moitié du ciel, c’est aussi le titre d’un
livre écrit par Nicholas Kristof et Sheryl Wudunn, un couple de journalistes
américains qui ont parcouru le monde afin de décrire les conditions de vie
souvent misérables des femmes des pays pauvres et émergents. Ce livre m’a
profondément touchée et inspirée. Une des thèses principales de cet ouvrage est
que souvent, la solution aux problèmes sociaux et même économiques passent par
les femmes. C’est une des raisons principales pour lesquelles ma co-équipière
Frédérique et moi avons décidé de viser les filles pour notre projet de club de
ski de fond à Kuujjuaq au Nord du Québec. Par exemple, les filles sont les
mères de demain et si on leur offre la chance aujourd’hui de vivre une
meilleure vie et de développer leur leadership, leur esprit d’équipe et
d’entraide, leur détermination, etc., elles seront en mesure d’inculquer ce
qu’elles ont appris à leurs enfants. Je crois que c’est la seule manière de
briser le cercle vicieux de la violence, de la maltraitance, de la
consommation, de la faible estime de soi, de la pauvreté matérielle et de
celle, plus vraie et cruelle, d’esprit. Éduquer et donner une chance à une
femme dans un contexte social difficile comme il l’est à Kuujjuaq, c’est
investir dans toute une famille, dans tout un village et dans l’avenir. Ces
futures mères deviendront des figures d’attachement sécurisantes et stables,
fortes et indépendantes pour leurs enfants. Des chefs de famille efficaces là
où les statistiques démontrent que les hommes adultes d’aujourd’hui ne
réussissent pas. Le sport (qu’il soit hockey, cirque, karaté, vélo de montagne
ou ski de fond), vecteur d’éducation incroyable, est un des meilleurs moyens de
préparer l’avenir; celui des individus et des communautés.</div>

Vous pensez que j’exagère? Vous
auriez du les voir! Frédérique a enseigné à une seule petite fille comment
descendre en recherche de vitesse, et, à la fin de l’entraînement, elles
savaient toutes comment le faire! Quand Gabrielle Lemire leur a montré sa
médaille aux Championnats Canadiens, elles avaient de grands yeux et ont
réalisé qu’il est possible d’atteindre ses objectifs si on travaille fort! Déjà
en un an, le sport leur a permis d’être inspirées, de voyager et même de passer
à la radio et à la télévision!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Si on
leur donne une chance, c’est fou ce qu’elles peuvent faire! Aussi, elles nous
ont-elles-mêmes dit que le soir, après l’école, ce sont majoritairement les
filles qui n’ont rien à faire et qui traînent dans les rues. Il y a le
programme de hockey qui fonctionne très bien et qui est mixte, mais qui attire
inévitablement plus de garçons. </div>

Je suis consciente que le sport
ne règle pas tout et qu’il ne peut pas faire la différence pour tout le monde,
mais je suis convaincue que ce sont des initiatives comme celles-ci qui ont le
pouvoir de changer la dynamique et de briser les cercles vicieux. Nous sommes
actuellement à la recherche de financement afin de mener à bien les diverses
activités (embauche d’un entraîneur, remplacement des équipements brisés,
voyage dans le sud du Québec pour des courses, événement Fast and Female à
Kuujjuaq, etc.) du projet pour une deuxième année déjà. Si vous avez des
questions, si vous connaissez des gens qui pourraient nous aider ou si vous
désirez supporter le Club de ski de fond de Kuujjuaq, n’hésitez à me contacter!

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> A Chinese proverb says that women hold half of
the sky. Half of the sky, it’s also the title of a book written by Nicholas
Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn, two American journalists who traveled the world in
order to describe the often miserable life conditions of women in emergent and
poor countries. This book really inspired and moved me. One of the principal
theses of this work is that women are often the most important part of the
solution regarding the social and even economic problems in difficult regions
of the world. This is one of the main reasons why my teammate Frédérique and I
focus on young girls in our Kuujjuaq, Northern Québec cross country ski club
project. For instance, girls are tomorrow’s mothers. If we offer them today the
opportunity to develop leadership, team spirit, mutual aid, determination,
etc., they will be able to teach their children these same abilities and
values. I think that it is the only way to break the vicious circle of
violence, substances abuse, poor self esteem, material poverty and poverty of
mind. Providing a woman with an education and a chance in a difficult life
context like Kuujjuaq’s is investing in an entire family, an entire community
and in the future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These future mothers
will become stable, loving, strong and independent attachment figures for their
children. Efficient family chiefs where statistics show that men are often
failing. Sports (wither it is circus, mountain biking, hockey, karate or cross
country skiing) is an excellent learning context and one of the best ways to
prepare communities’ and individuals’ future. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">You think I am exaggerating? You should have
seen them! When we were there in the spring, Frédérique taught only one girl
how to ski down hills, and by the end of the training, they were all able to do
it! When Gabrielle Lemire showed them her medal when they were on a motivating
trip at Mont Sainte-Anne Nationals this winter, they were so impressed and they
realized that they can achieve anything if they work hard. Only last year,
cross country skiing has been an opportunity for them to travel, to be on
Television and radio and to be inspired. If we give them a chance, it’s awesome
what they can do! Also, they told us that after school, it is mainly the girls
who hang out in the streets doing nothing. There is a very good hockey program
in Kuujjuaq, but it mostly attracts the boys.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Je pense qu’il n’y a pas de doute, je n’amasse pas la
mousse! Voyager et ne jamais rester au même endroit longtemps est une des
choses que je préfère de la vie d’athlète. On m’a fait la remarque récemment
que ma vie d’étudiante n’est pas trop difficile. Il y a en effet pire dans la
vie que de faire des devoirs devant les montagnes et la campagne
autrichienne! <span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span>On me fait aussi souvent la remarque que je passe à côté de la vie universitaire
en choisissant d’être majoritairement une athlète. Je réponds que je ne
voudrais pour rien au monde manquer la vie d’athlète! Je vais vous le prouver
en faisant <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>une petite exception à ma
règle pour vous parler du camp d’entraînement du CNEPH à Ramsau en Autriche
dont je viens juste de revenir. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pour ma part, mes neuf journées de ski sur le glacier ont
été très productives. Considérant les conditions de neige, les employés de la
station ont fait un travail remarquable pour nous offrir des pistes de qualité.
N’étant pas tombée malade et n’étant jamais vraiment fatiguée, j’ai pu me
concentrer sur l’amélioration de plusieurs points techniques (pour les curieux,
c’était principalement l’angle de mes chevilles et de mes coudes, les descentes
avec virages et quelques modifications au déphasé en skate). Cette année, le
focus était résolument axé sur la qualité et non la quantité de l’entraînement.
J’ai très hâte de voir comment ce travail va se répercuter sur mes courses cet
hiver! Les jolis environs de Ramsau sont également idéaux pour les sorties
d’après-midi et de journées de repos. La piste de ski à roulettes offre un
excellent challenge et je remercie mes coéquipières de me lancer un «Enweille
t’es capable!» quand je serais tentée de ralentir un peu dans les descentes... </span></div>

à marcher dans les prés de pension à pension pour écouter des gens en habits
traditionnels jouer de la musique! J’ai aussi visité le château de Salzburg avec

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There is no doubt, I am definitely rolling! <span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Traveling and never staying too
long in the same place is one of the things that I prefer about a skier’s life.
Someone told me recently that my Psychology studies did not seem to be too
hard. For sure, doing homework in front of the mountains in the Austrian countryside
is not too bad! </span><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I am also often been told that I am missing
out on the University lifestyle by choosing to put most of my energy on skiing.
Well I would hate a lot more to be missing out on the athlete life! I am going
to prove you this by not following my own rule for once and write about the
CNEPH training camp in Ramsau, Austria which I just came back from.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">For me, the
nine ski days on the glacier were very productive. Taking account of the snow
conditions, the employees at the Daschtein did a very good job in building
quality tracks for us and the many other teams that were there. Thankfully, I
did not get sick or really tired so I was able to concentrate on improving
certain technique points (if you are curious, it was mostly about my ankles’
and elbows’ angles, my off-set technique and the down hills with turns). This
year, the focus was really on quality instead of quantity of training. I am
really excited to see how all this work is going to pay off this winter! Also,
the nice surroundings of Ramsau were excellent for afternoon and off-snow
training days. The roller ski track is definitely a challenge and I would like
to thank my teammates for giving me the «Come one you can do it!» when it would
be much easier to break a little bit...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Comme à chaque fois, les Jeux Paralympiques me font
réfléchir sur les gens handicapés et la place que leur octroie la société. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Certaines ne savent pas trop comment agir avec
eux, certains en ont peur, certains les prennent en pitié. J’ai eu la chance de
grandir en contact avec une femme extrêmement forte et courageuse. Ma tante que
j’adore et admire vit avec un handicap. Elle a travaillé toute sa vie et s’est
battue et a gagné contre les préjugés. Dans ma famille, on dit qu’il y a les
gens ordinaires et les gens extraordinaires! Ce sont ces derniers dont on
applaudit les exploits à guichets fermés à Londres. Ce ne sont pas des aveugles,
des gens en chaises roulantes ou des amputés, ce sont des athlètes qui
travaillent aussi dur que les athlètes qui ont concouru deux semaines avant,
sinon plus! Ils doivent s’entraîner aussi longtemps et aussi dur en plus de se
battre pour obtenir la place qui leur revient de droit dans la société. Si
c’est difficile pour eux ici, imaginez comment c’est dans des pays moins
développés! Des obstacles immenses que les gens ordinaires n’ont pas eu à
vaincre se sont évidemment dressés sur leur chemin, mais ils ont su les
surmonter avec brio. Non, ce ne sont pas des gens fragiles et je n’ai pas pitié
des athlètes paralympiques! Au contraire! Leur courage et leur détermination m’inspirent.
D’ailleurs, avez-vous vu ce vidéo?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Au Québec, quelques athlètes paralympiques font du ski de
fond et nous les côtoyons lors des courses. Wow! Il me semble que le ski de
fond est déjà assez difficile avec mes deux bras et mes deux jambes! C’est aux
jeux du Canada d’Halifax en 2011 que j’ai surtout eu la chance de passer du temps
avec ces skieurs d’exception : Christine Gauthier, Sébastien Fortier et
Yves Bourque. L’hiver dernier, les deux gars s’entraînaient même pour les
Coupes du Monde!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">De mon côté, une tradition s’installe tranquillement chez
les Pepin. Pour la deuxième année consécutive, mon père et moi organisons une
compétition amicale de rabaskas dans le cadre du festival d’été de notre petite
municipalité, Contrecoeur. Cette course permet aux membres de l’Association de
déficience intellectuelle de Sorel-Tracy, de l’Association des Sports Aveugles
de Montréal et du groupe Panda (groupe d’entraide pour les familles d’enfants
vivant avec un trouble de déficit d’attention) de s’élancer de façon
sécuritaire sur le fleuve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ce sont des gens
extraordinaires qui n’ont malheureusement pas souvent la chance d’essayer de
nouveaux sports, mais qui y arrivent par contre avec brio! Si vous aviez vu les
sourires de fierté sur leurs visages!! Bref, tout le monde peut faire du sport
et il est important de créer des conditions qui permettent à tous de
participer!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Paralympics
always make me think about handicapped people and the place that society leaves
for them. Some people don’t really know how to act around them, some are
scared, some pity them, etc. I was very lucky to grow up with an incredibly
courageous and strong woman. My aunt who I love lives with a handicap; she
worked her whole life and fought and won against stereotypes. In my family, we
say that there are ordinary people and extraordinary people. Those are the ones
who are applauded in London in sold out stadiums. They are no longer blind, in
wheel chairs or amputated, they are athletes who work as hard as the ones from
two weeks before, if not more! They need to train as long and as hard while
battling to obtain the place they deserve in society. If it is difficult for
them here, I can’t imagine what it can be like in less developed countries.
Great obstacles stood before them that us ordinary people never add to fight.
No, Paralympics athletes are not fragile and they are so strong I sure do not
pity them! Their courage and determination inspire me. By the way, have you
seen this video?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">In Québec,
a couple Paralympics athletes cross country ski and we see them at races: Christine
Gauthier, Sébastien Fortier and Yves Bourque. Wow! Nordic skiing is already so
hard with two legs and two arms! I got to know them better at the 2011 Canada
Games in Halifax. Last time I checked, the two guys were training for World
Cups!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">On my side,
there is a tradition growing up in the Pepin family. For a second year in a
row, my father and I organized a friendly rabaska (big canoes for 20 persons)
race during the little summer festival of our community. This event allowed
participants from the Sorel-Tracy Intellectual deficiency association,
Montréal’s blind sports Association and Contrecoeur’s Panda group (a help
association for children with Attention Deficit Disorder) to paddle hard and
have fun on the St-Lawrence river. These are extraordinary people who don’t
often have the chance to try new sports but who are very good at it! You should
have seen the proud smiles on their face! To conclude, anyone can do sports and
it is very important to create the conditions so that everyone can participate!</span></span></div>

Yahoooo! Pas que je n’aime pas l’été,
mais très honnêtement, j’avais hâte! Je suis une étudiante à temps partiel en
psychologie à l’Université Laval et j’en suis à ma deuxième année. Je veux
devenir psychologue depuis environ le milieu de mon secondaire, et m’approcher
de mon objectif professionnel est très satisfaisant et motivant. J’ai
l’impression que mes cours me serviront vraiment dans le futur (pas que la
philo ou le français sont inutiles, ils sont excellents pour la culture, mais
un peu éloignés de ce qui m’intéresse le plus...). Par exemple, mes cours de
cette session sont Théories de la personnalité, Introduction à la psychologie
clinique et Développement social et affectif des 0-12 ans. Je ne sais pas pour
vous, mais moi je n’exagère pas en disant que ce sont des sujets qui me
passionnent! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR-CA;">Plusieurs athlètes choisissent de laisser leurs études de côté
durant leur carrière sportive, mais ça ne fonctionnerait pas pour moi. Premièrement,
il est primordial pour moi de pouvoir penser à autre chose. En février dernier,
j’ai dû subir une chirurgie à l’épaule et je n’ai donc pas terminé la saison de
ski. Une chance que j’avais des cours à l’école! Je suis absolument incapable
de ne rien faire et j’ai besoin d’utiliser mon cerveau! Justement, la veille
des compétitions, je veux être concentrée et focus sur ce qui m’attend, mais
pas trop! Je veux aussi pouvoir penser à autre chose et cela éloigne un peu le
stress. Aussi, si ma saison ne va pas aussi bien que j’avais espéré, c’est plus
facile de me rappeler que je n’ai pas perdu mon temps et que je n’ai pas tout
perdu si j’ai aussi travaillé sur un autre aspect de ma vie. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR-CA;">Mais il y a aussi
des côtés plus difficiles à être une étudiante et une athlète. Il y a des jours
où j’ai un entraînement le matin, j’étudie sur l’heure du midi, je fais de la
musculation l’après-midi et j’ai un cours après... C’est parfois dur de
«switcher» son cerveau de l’entraînement à l’école et vice versa... Aussi,
comme je veux faire un doctorat, je veux des bonnes notes à l’école. C’est de
la pression qui vient de moi, mais ça peut être très demandant de vouloir
performer dans deux domaines très compétitifs. Une chance que je suis compétitive!
Par contre, la priorité pour moi en ce moment est le ski et je choisis le
nombre et la nature de mes cours en fonction de mes périodes d’entraînement et
de repos (longs et essentiels), de mes voyages (au pluriel), etc. Choisir de
continuer ses études en même temps que sa carrière d’athlète est une décision
personnelle, mais je voudrais dire à tous les jeunes athlètes que c’est
possible! Vous apprendrez à gérer la pression, à vous organiser et à être
efficaces. Que vous soyez un athlète, un étudiant, les deux ou ni l’un ni l’autre,
je vous souhaite un excellent mois de septembre!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I am
starting school this week! Yahooo! Not that I don’t like summer, but honestly,
I was really looking forward to it. I am a part time psychology student at Laval
University and this is my second year. I remember wanting to be a psychologist
since midway through high school and being closer to my professional objective
is really satisfying and motivating. I really feel that my courses are going to
help me in my future job (not that French and philosophy are useless, they are
excellent for my culture but just a little off my field of interests...). For
instance, my classes this semester are Introduction to clinical psychology,
Social development of the 0-12 years old and Personalities theories (free translation
here...). I don’t know about you, but all this sounds terribly interesting to
me!! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Many athletes choose to put their studies aside while they are skiing, but
that would not work for me. First of all, it is critical for me to be able to
think about something else. Last February, I had to have shoulder surgery and
could not ski the last half of the season. Luckily I had school! It is absolutely
impossible for me to be doing nothing and I need to keep my brain busy. Also,
the day before a race, I want to be focused on it, but not too much! I want to
be able to think about something else and that takes a bit of the stress away.
Also, if my season is not going as well as I was planning, it is easier to
remind myself that I haven’t lost everything and wasted my time if I have also
been working on another aspect of my life. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">But being a student and an athlete
also has some downsides. There are some days that I have a ski training in the
morning, studying at lunch, strength training in the afternoon and class
after... It is sometimes hard to switch your brain from ski to school and vice
versa. Also, because I want to do a doctorate, I need to have really good
grades at school. I am aware that it is pressure that comes from me, but it is
hard to want to perform in two very competitive fields. Good thing I am a
competitive person! However, cross country skiing is the priority for me right
now and I choose my classes and their amount according to my trainings and rest periods
(long and essential), my travels (numerous), etc. Choosing to continue school
at the same time as being an athlete is a personal decision, but I would like
to tell all the young athletes that it is possible! You will learn to deal with
pressure and to be organized and efficient. Whether you are an athlete, a
student, both or none of the above, I wish you an excellent September!</span></span></div>
