Kévin Danois (AJ Auxerre) : de la Guadeloupe au stade de l'Abbé Deschamps | Passionnés #1

🎙️ First episode of "Passionates," the Acadomia web series that gives a voice to young athletes who have successfully combined sporting ambition with academic success. Proof that the two are not mutually exclusive. 👉Nelson Monfort interviews Kévin Danois, midfielder for AJ Auxerre. A candid conversation, at the heart of the Abbé Deschamps stadium, to talk about football, his journey, and the importance of the dual sports-studies program. Arriving in Auxerre at 16 thanks to… a fruit vendor (yes, you read that right), Kévin reflects on his atypical path to professional football: his scouting, the daily life of a training center, earning his science baccalaureate while playing football, and his calm approach to performance and ambition. 🎓 During his time at the AJA training center, Kévin Danois benefited from Acadomia's academic support, as did more than 800 other young athletes who receive daily assistance in their dual sports-study program, with personalized guidance tailored to their athletic commitments. 👉 Discover our sports-studies program: https://www.acadomia.fr/sport-etudes-... -------------- Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction: Welcome to the AJ Auxerre pitch 01:09 – From Guadeloupe to Auxerre: A fruit vendor's story 02:09 – Life at the training center: A typical day 03:43 – The birth of a dream and a childhood idol 04:42 – Arrival in Auxerre, first contract, and beginnings 12:19 – Studies: A necessary foundation 13:32 – Diet, weight, and recovery: Behind the scenes of the professional athlete 15:17 – Match days: Protocol, hotel, nap, and pre-match meeting 16:07 – Managing the Defeats and victories with serenity 5:25 PM – Traveling away: plane, hotel, return in the middle of the night 6:19 PM – His contract until 2029: no question of rushing things 7:40 PM – The revelation: Teddy Riner is his older cousin 8:52 PM – Conclusion and final words Directed by: Époque Films / Manuel Schapira -------------- About Acadomia: A leader in academic support for over 25 years, Acadomia also supports young athletes who don't want to choose between their passion and their studies.
