Remi Rossi<\/a> (runner-up in the Oceania Championships 2019) made history after winning Tahiti\u2019s first ever match at the World Men\u2019s Team Championships.<\/p>\n\u201cOur team morale is incredibly high after our participation in the World Mixed, Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Team Championships last year. We\u2019re delighted that Remi came back on board after an 18-month hiatus in France and the team is incredibly excited for the Pacific Mini Games in six months\u2019 time,\u201d said Cucuel.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeam Tahiti did pretty well in the medal chart in Samoa, with Remi taking all three individual gold medals alongside Rauhiri Goguenheim and Coralie Bouttin. We were pipped to the post in the mixed team final and we are pumped to better our bronze.\u201d<\/p>\n
Many of the same players who competed in Europe last October will also be aiming for team selection in Northern Marianas this June, with six female and six male spots up for grabs.<\/p>\n
The membership grant was used to bring the coaching experience of Clement Gillot to Tahiti to provide expert advice for 24 national team players across the under 15s, 17s and open players age groups.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9476″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Clement is the current head coach at the Paris Junior High Performance Academy in France, who also brought two French players (Corentin Lecerf and M\u00e9line M\u00e9taireau) to assist with the coaching and spar with the Tahitian line-up. Corentin was a mixed doubles semifinalist at the last French National Championships. Across the two week-long training camp, Clement led the team through 20 intense coaching sessions, including a variety of multi feed and 2 vs 1 speed and agility training drills.<\/p>\n
Louis Beaubois was another player who benefitted from the coaching as he sets his eyes on a higher podium finish in the Northern Marianas. At the Samoa 2019 Pacific Games, Louis was only 17 years old and made headlines when he stunned the second seed rival from New Caledonia (Ronan Ho-Yagues) in the quarterfinals, eventually winning the men\u2019s singles bronze medal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a close-knit team in Tahiti. Getting a fresh take on some coaching drills and training was important for us, to push us out of our usual comfort zones. I can\u2019t wait to put the training into practise once again after such a frustrating two years of lacking tournaments\u201d, says Louis Beaubois.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Tahiti Badminton Federation have utilised the grants to support with court hire, purchasing shuttlecocks and delivering Shuttle Time sessions across Pupara and Papeete to the communities and aspiring players.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9475″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
