portrait-olivier

I started playing rugby at the age of 7, at the instigation of my elementary school teacher who thought I was far too restless.

Rugby has been a school of life for me.

We were out in the field on Sundays, fighting together, not wondering if we thought, saw, ate, even prayed or not in the same way.

For me, these are the values I've learned during my career: fighting together, living together and above all:
alone, you're nothing!

OLIVIER MISSOUP

President, Diamond XV Academy

France 1998, FRANCE 2018, and all the victorious French teams are inspiring examples

Sport and its values of sharing and transmission.

The desire to pass on and tell the story of our career paths.

Work - Abnegation - Determination - Ambition - Respect - Discipline - Diversity

"A difficult history
does not prevent success.

SHARE, EXCHANGE, TRANSMIT

An atypical career path, proof that success is possible for everyone.

Sport is part of education.

The latter allows us to remain realistic and retain the human values needed to help people grow.
Values of exchange, sharing and determination.

Rugby can play an important social role in the Ile-de-France region and in France as a whole.
As sportsmen and women, we have a duty to set an example, to share our experiences, to tell young people that they must and, above all, can succeed.
Giving back what we've been given is a matter of course. And saying that rugby and sport help people to grow seems to be a matter of continuity.
Simply putting sparks in young people's eyes can positively change their ambitions.

The Diamond XV Academy association enabled over 1,500 youngsters from the Ile-de-France region to attend matches in the Six Nations and Top 14 tournaments. Thanks to the FFR, LNR, Racing 92 and Stade Français for facilitating our actions. We look forward to continuing to pass on and share with young people.

We share our experiences with young and old from all walks of life.
We like to share this life struggle where
you have to believe in yourself and work to achieve your dreams.
