From 25th to 31st October 2021, the 10 pilots integrating the new Pôle Espoir season were invited for a week of gliding at the CNVV.

Under the supervision of Eric Napoléon, National Team Coach and Alexandre Gaudry, firness trainer and and mental coach, the pilots, aged between 17 and 23 years old, made the most of the last thermals of the season, further developing their training in mountain gliding and slope soaring, and getting the feel of the Pôle France gliders.

On the ground, the programme covered theory courses, fitness assessments and also personality tests carried out by Natacha Van Gyseghem.  In short, an excellent preparation in view of next year’s season!
