At only 19 years old, Lise Thomas is a figure of the Scorb-Clairvaux judo club. From trophies to podiums, from Scorb Paris, from the Petits Tigres tournament to the French championship, Lise has a great track record.
De Scorb Chambray
For the first time in thirteen years, the young Ambigarian judoka will not take her license at the Scorb-Clairvaux club but at the Chambray-ls-Tours club, where she studies. However, she intends to stay in touch and continue to visit her favorite association, which built her up and brought her so much. I can’t cut the cord. I’ve been there too much not to set foot there againshe says.
It’s a story. A life already begins at the age of 6. The little girl wants to play sports, her parents take her to the club a bit by chance. It was Cdric Berteau, the coach at the time, who welcomed him and ensured his training for nine years. Lise quickly finds her place and climbs one by one the rungs of colors force of perseverance. She discovered competition with the Petits Tigres tournaments, savored it, shaped her technique, entered the hope of Poitiers, won her black belt and chained fine performances whether in the departmental championship or in the New Aquitaine regional, which opened her moreover three times the gates of France. The Holy Grail for any athlete.
For Lise, judo is much more than trophies, medals and podiums.
trophies
and a way of life
Judo is a family affair. Everyone got into it at home, my parents even joined the office. But more than that, the club is a big family. Whether it’s the coaches, the volunteer supervisors, the judokas, everyone helps each other, puts themselves at the service of the other. This allows us to grow, to build ourselves to better transmit to others, explains Lisa.
When all the generations get together as a family on the tatami mats for a gala, a common lesson or a tournament, we are clearly experiencing the best that judo has to offer. An art of living almost that Lise aspires to cultivate for a long time to come.
