Maxime Lhuillier is a windsurfer and a student on the Bachelor in Management course at ESC Bretagne Brest. He recently competed in the French Olympic Week in Hyères and hopes to qualify for the World Championship in Weymouth in early September. How does this 19-year-old sportsman coordinate his competitions and his studies? We decided to find out!
Why did you choose the Bachelor in Management at ESC Bretagne Brest?

I chose to do a Bachelor in Management because after the subjects I studied at secondary school, I wanted to continue to study business and marketing. With other diplomas, I wouldn’t have had enough time to practise top-level sport. A Bachelor degree gave me enough free time to go to training and competitions. As I belong to the sailing base in Brest and live in Brest, I naturally chose to take this course at ESC Brest. I also knew some students who were already enrolled on a Bachelor course. They encouraged me to join them.
 
How do you manage your time between your studies, training and competitions?


In terms of training, the initial course timetable is fairly conducive to extracurricular sporting activities as we have several afternoons free. So I can train several times a week without missing any classes. However the competitions and courses take place during class time. I therefore have to arrange to catch up on the teaching missed as I go along. At ESC, the staff are understanding and agree to me catching up on homework and tutorials.
 
Is there any rivalry between the top sportsmen enrolled in the Bachelor course?

It’s true that in Brest there are quite a few sportsmen enrolled in the Bachelor course: we bump into each other during breaks. I find it very valuable to be able to compare our practices and to see how others manage their studies according to their sport (or vice versa). We go through similar sorts of situations, so we exchange advice and help each other out when need be.
 
Once you have won the Olympic Games (which we all hope will be the case!) and many other championships and the time comes for a career change, what path do you hope to pursue?
 

When my sporting career comes to an end, I want to go into business. I don’t know exactly what career I will choose. What I appreciate is having tools at my disposal at ESC to inform me of the different professional opportunities which may be open to me when I retire from sport.
