Archery: between arrows and readings with candlelight, a style of life by a gifted archer
AFP - Because his family is electrosensitive, Gael Prevost grew up in an isolated farm in Forez, lit by candles and heated over a wood fire, with a great passion for the archery, he is at 18, one of the great French hopes.
The vice-world champion team, looking with his two teammates European title this week in Amsterdam, is not easily reachable. In his own world, mobile phone, computer, tablet computers and other objects are parasites.
"I am not bothered because I have none. As I have never had a laptop, I do not feel a lack. If I want one? Absolutely not," he says. "I used a phone just once or twice when there is a call to a journalist. My coach handed it to me, but never beyond that!"
This tall young man of 1m96, which looks good in all respects, understands a little out of place in this digital age. Just did an email address and a Facebook account, and agreeing to share small portions of video games with his colleagues.
"Playing in a group can be fun, but I have to play alone in my room, I do not see the point," said he. In his spare time, between 400 arrows shot his daily training, he prefers to attack the great adventure novels of literature, music, or simply walk.
After the European Championships, he will relax with his parents, in this "little piece of Forez clueless" where tranquility is assured. The village is so isolated that he and his siblings attended school at home.
He likes the "special atmosphere" that emerges from this family home, where candles and oil lamps used to light up and fires to keep warm. Electricity is used only for the needs of the pig that carries his father.
This lifestyle has become when his parents made the link between electrical and insomnia and headaches they suffered. "Since we have eliminated the TV remote and electricity as possible from home, they have more headaches and sleep very well," said Gael Prevost. "My sister is also very sensitive when there is wifi in a building or a laptop turned on her side. But me, that I never bothered."
Of this education, the young man fired a behavior posed, in line with his discipline: "The archery is a sport where one has much to know yourself. It is important to create a bubble of calm around and drop more or less everything that is happening around. "
he was 6 years old when he discovered archery for fun first, then later in the club. At 13, he joined the center of Bordeaux and includes Insep two years later. This lifestyle quiet did not prevent him from rush: bachelor at 16 and already vice-world champion team in 17 years.
"Gael is intriguing because he is timeless, atypical, notes Anne Reculet, the captain of France. But he is also surprising in performance. On that one as intellectually, he is far from being late. "
