Began skiing at age two with his grandmother in La Plagne, France. (Info 2018)
Was encouraged to take up the sport by his family. Growing up he discovered he loved jumping and moved on to practising moguls and halfpipe. "I wanted to go wherever I wanted and to use the ground to jump. I loved the freedom to play with the mountain. I had no pleasure being forced to ski on beginner or intermediate slopes, and I soon switched to freestyle skiing." (Info 2018)
Does a lot of physical training as he "feels that he's getting older". Feels it is becoming more difficult to recover and to build up muscles, so he works a lot to improve his physical condition. (olympics.com)
