Portrait - Anne-Laure Coutenceau

A new ambassador joins the Resilience Skill team!

We'd like to welcome Anne-Laure to the team! You've undoubtedly already heard of the redheaded tornado who has been making her mark on the international Crossfit® scene for several years now.

Anne-Laure's achievements include: 2 participations in the Crossfit Games® and 2 podium finishes, a 1st place at the Open région Europe in 2022, several prestigious competitions in France without any adaptation required of the organizers, 2 participations in the Wodapalooza in Miami, hours and hours of training... As you'll have gathered, she's a hard-working, committed and resilient person, both in her personal and professional life, as she's got her head full of projects.

We asked him to introduce himself so you could learn more about his background and goals, so here's his interview:

Portrait of Anne-Laure

Who are you?

I'm a passionate person. I'm always 100% committed to what I do. I like to be surrounded both personally and professionally.

How did you get started in Crossfit®?

I started Crossfit® in August 2016 thanks to a friend. My first WOD was Karen... I didn't walk for 3 days afterwards!

What role does sport play in your life today?

Very important! Sport is part of my equilibrium.

Tell us about the failures and injuries that have marked you:

I tore a bone and sprained my right ankle during an event at Wodapalooza in 2019. It was very hard for me, but I learned a lot.

What lessons have you learned for the future?

She has taught me patience and to listen to the messages my body sends me.

Why join Resilience Skill as an ambassador?

The brand's values and Jennifer's are identical to my own. It was important for me to put them forward.

What are your projects?

I'm opening a box with two friends, Crossfit® Valkyrie, and I'm looking to change direction professionally.

Your favorite quote: "Life always gives us another chance, it's called tomorrow".

Your best sporting memory: winning the last Crossfit Games® event in 2021.
