As a former rugby scrum-half for FC Grenoble, Alain played in the first division for several years during the 80s, later becoming a coach. In 1997, one of his young players was involved in a serious accident which resulted in permanent paralysis. Alain decided to create a structure to ensure a future for the young boy.
