Still a youngster, the CBR nugget is progressing very quickly. Often outclassed, the young badiste impresses.
At not even 16 years old – he will be in a few days – the Ruthénois Louis Jaugey made the heyday of the CBR (Club Badminton Rodez) by being well placed in the regional and even national elite. This young student, currently in second at Alexis Monteil high school and who is destined for a CAP in carpentry, started badminton at the age of 8.
“I had a cousin who played, I tried, I liked it and I continued “, he delivers naturally. To reach a good level, the young Ruthénois spares no effort and trains for a long time. “Between badminton, physical preparation and bodybuilding, I train between 10 and 12 hours a week. ” A busy schedule that does not prevent him from continuing his studies. “If things are going well now, at the start it wasn’t always easy, you have to manage all the more because there are competitions on weekends. But, with practice, I manage to reconcile the two without problem.“
A time management which is likely to become more and more specialized when Louis Jaugey will attack his CAP but which does not scare him even if sportingly his ambition is to continue to progress in the hierarchy to be part of the best juniors. In terms of sporting results, the young badiste du Piton can be proud of an 8th place in the mixed doubles championship obtained when he was still only 12 years old. In mid-May, he finished 16th in the French cadet championship. A place won just before the 24th national tournament in Rodez. A tournament that he also won hands down in singles by winning in three sets against a player over 20 years old from Libourne and also ranked R4 at the regional level.
Prophet in his country
But Rouergat’s hope does not stop there. He has just achieved a fine double at the Aveyron championships where he won the title of departmental champion in singles but also in doubles with his club partner, Sébastien Bédrune. When you aim for the high level, you need opposition to train and progress and the Ruthenian badminton player is spoiled for choice within his club. A club whose team I, of which he is a full member, has just entered Regional 1. “ There are really very good elements in Rodez. Training is going well and we are all progressing together. “he slips in conclusion.
