L’échec nous veut du bien ! | Adrien Duvillard | TEDxBelfort


I am a former high level athlete

it’s true I lived

but

also until it comes from a

lineage of what is sports

my father adrien duvillard same name

same name as me and my uncle henri

various have both been

great sportsmen at the time my father

60 who won everything and my uncle

henri 70 he also won everything for

my part I win a world cup in

the island in lillehammer in norway in 93

I was four times champion of

ski France in a period of

skiers mostly as a descender

we take risks

and when we take risks but good

we assume that we can hurt ourselves

so I had injuries to

repetition in 94 and 95 and its

wounds cut me off from the

competition for two years

then for the 96-97 season I come back

at the high level

I feel good technically

physically mentally I am

recorded in great shape and I attack

the season 97 with plenty of lots of

motivation

the season of course starts the

second world production will keep in

Italy I’m finishing 5th I’m really

income levels and ferry buses in

early January we go to wengen in switzerland

to make a world cup

wengen it’s a big test of

world cup be first

official training this ends

second of the training so I

am really that confirms to me that I

am really coming back to the high level and

January 17, 97

I attack the second training

official

this accident on the 17th of January 97

plunged several days into coma

I broke five ribs of vertebrae

perforated the lung and for a day one

did not know if I stayed there too I

go take a walk where

finally he world there is not too much

of space where goes back down after

coma a few days after

coma at the hospital ya my coach

who comes the wind and then we discuss and

judy listens in a name he plays

olympics in nagano japan

and I want to go at all costs

so we developed a system with

my coach we developed a

mini lens system from the

January 17, 97 to go on the jo’s

nagano have made the 98 the first

objective that it is set up and of

do a physical test in June 97

why because my body is a

work tool it’s us work

had not recovered enough

did not even bother to go anymore

far

I use my body so we play it

quality tests are good and

still the progression to do but that

advanced

then in July it was to redo

of skiing just doing my job what is

wise of 7 months you do not have what

alas was just taking pleasure

to ski but then the third

goal that we are set up which

were 8 and hyper important is

to be redoing the descent in

September 97

why because I knew that my

body was going to hold

ok we know how to handle pain and to his

as said terminator the pain is

that information

so we know how to manage pain as

that athletic cons I did not know if

my mind to hold them

I would have gone on to take back from the

speed all of a sudden I have a big

stop sign that tried but in me

saying a maintenance cost edge in

through it’s over so I joined

the french team in chile and there i

do a full-scale test and in

doing this test I realize that I have not

I was afraid I had a little apprehension

but no blue scare when told

ok it’s good we continue we said to ourselves if

you pass that goal

then there is an American cost where

there it will be necessary to work the

amount of work while the team

de France was already solid keitel and

qualitative I was still doing it

a train of doing quantitative but

it is not serious

I was on my progress for the

various Olympic games then have to

resume the high competition swim

bath the world cup and especially get

qualify for the Olympics

the team of France and 10 athletes

and this ten athletes such as four who

go game and it’s not the 4 most fun

who will play what more beautiful and than

nice cd4 results so it takes them

take his qualification so on the

first world cup my goal

is not the qualification but of

regain self-confidence

so first world cup I

regain confidence in the month of ok

now it’s good I’m going to get the

qualif

I still have five races to qualify us

so go back to France in Val d’Isère

I try my qualification I miss

then we go to italy i miss

again not my qualification and I am

your going to bormio I do not have my

qualification and then these two courses

are qualified either the penultimate

race I still do not qualify me

I start a race to qualify me keith

bull in austria and there I arrive

bar by saying ok it’s now or

never and silk last races I

finished fourth in the world cup and

is one of the four French

can to lauzun epic so just

after acquired qualification bull

Olympic Games at the Olympic Games I

do 20 seconds and I get 20 seconds

running and tokens I’m doing north

technique and I fall but it’s not

Most important

in fact after the games has in the spring

I stopped my career

not that I can not technically or

physically I could still there is

no proof but I felt inside

missing my career was over

after then began our section

which lasted a year

a year to understand why I have the

feeling that my career was over

while I could still and the most

far I felt that the same life life

had sent me a message during my

accident and once I understand this

message that I understand

why I was facing a wall

at one point then I started to

think about yourself different lawsuits

this lawsuit that puts them in place and I

I said but when I looked at that I

say but thin I made a mistake I

I programmed myself on the wrong

goals will be hospitals m when

I was there I thought but in

did I say I want to go to the games

Olympic

I had not said I want to win or a

medal so I say finally

I had made myself a bad

programming right off the bat I did

not programming the right goal but that

me it was inappropriate not know me

read something else so I left on

a second reading this schema there and

I told myself to have a second

grind I will remove what makes the

top athlete i.e. the

concept of performance and tastes I

removed the saplings to the performances of

the equation and I was watching this with a

other filter and there I told myself

finally as a human being

that was the right goal in relation to

starting point it was enough

difficult enough challenging

finally it was the right goal by

compared to the starting points but that’s me

was still not enough there is still a

not because it’s a

mental process the left brain

that’s the reason there is something else that

was deep in me and I want to know

what it is then I started

search and I put my name on it

internet I mark adrien de villars and

then the google paragraph appeared

you know it’s marked January 17th

three little dots the one that paragraph

as flavors plays the paragraph in me

saying he’s talking like accident and

when I open the paragraph doing

notice adrien duvillard seniors that’s

to say my father January 17, 1960

becomes the best schiro world month the

January 17 , 1997 I spit it there

had to understand you had to understand

that day my father number one

and I, this game, I put myself face to face

a wall physically you saw it’s

in front of a wall she did that

ball of my head and there I understood

I understood what I understood that the

separated glass paths I understood

what that day I was not sure

my way was not on the good

path

emptied this wish my father even first name

same name same discipline

roughly speaking I was in his steps

naturally my father never had any

pressure a day close nothing is just

me who put this pressure on me

naturally in fact

I was only in the footsteps of my

father I was not on my way from

everything and this way actually they were leading

nowhere

He led me to the soul must be the

change and I did not listen to the six

void of life and in life made me

a gift she put me to mu in front of

me tell me you see you can not go

further now and I ‘m doing

crashing counts its walls it took me

just and until then to understand

that I had to do differently

because so far and without any

self help in quotation marks I

called me adrien de villars as we

ski fishing like my dad so I

skied without identity he had to create

my own identity

so that day made me understand

something really very

important who for me now and

drive to my life is that goals

are there to give you a direction

but we spend a life on a path so

the path is more important than

the goal we like me I got

built on a path are so little

behind on the german i got

built who I am now on

lives on a path in fact that

cross the goal okay so this

for me it’s the most

important who retreated lived to

through this accident

then we realize that when we live this

kind of events that the city is

not here to bother you the

life is not bothering you life is

there to make you progress for

evolve and failures that one

live are part of life so in fact

the failures are hostile did

evolve so much do you have to see them that and

me when I experienced this failure there me

took a little while it took me

a lot of introspection for the

look for the real reason for what

had happened and when I found the

real reason it completely me

released and I became what I

am now this is really the

most important message

so so kind if I actually summarize and

with three readings and in the first

reading that was to say I actually

am wrong the goal it was from the

reason but the second grind my

allied friends but no it was

the goal form point start if you

take away all the problems of disgust

and the performance problem but the

third reading which is for me the

more important this is that the

way is more important than the goal

is like jelly says we know that

cross the grounds and we live on a

way then to summarize that actually

before I had a sentence that was

the one that was to be defeated without

peril one triumphs without glory before

when I raced in World Cup

I had my little flag and Mrs. Simon

flag I’m going to crash there ago

nothing that stopped me I had voted

grind in pau where I felt like the

planting I was taking a slap in the way

it’s okay I wore my flag

where I wanted after my accident

life made me take a little of the

height a bit of maturity and

now I pass on another message

which is to say to defeat without

learn on triumph without understanding

I’m still learning

what life puts me in front of me

why my slippers there in what the

life and love make me evolve

failures are there to make you

evolve as see in this sense

rather than saying I took a chance

no we put back to 6 failures or of that we

can go get the canteens either

what do we do with thank you
