Jean-Yves's nomination story

Jean-Yves is a sport enthusiast who regularly participates in sport, whether for fun or in competition. He enjoys the passion that sport brings to his life. He passes this joy and the importance of making an effort to his children. Since 2005, he has been an active member of the EDF SA Disability Policy and of local organisations.This winter, he plans to get involved in ski training for the disabled with French Disabled Sports Federation (FFH), taking young disabled individuals to experience the beauty of skiing and to take them out of their everyday environment. Having worked as a volunteer during the Games of the Future for the disabled, Jean-Yves was able to really appreciate the benefits of sport, particularly for young people with severe disabilities. He had a revelation: "If you're in good health, you should share and instil your passion for sport among others !"
