Q&A WITH HÉLÉNA
What is it like to represent France at UNH?
It's always a pleasure to represent France in another country and I feel proud to do so.
What are the differences between playing in France and at UNH?
I think the language barrier and how physical the play is on the court. The pace of the game is fast and there are certain rules that are different that you have to get used to.
What has been your most memorable sports experience at UNH so far?
I would say playing basketball and attending football games.
Does your family ever get to watch you play? If so, what does that mean to you?
Yes my family watches all my games. Last year they got lucky before COVID-19 and saw a couple games live and it was so nice. It means a lot to me that my family watches me play because it's nice that the people that you love the most are supporting you no matter where and how.
What are some of your favorite things about living in New Hampshire?
It's a pretty state and people are very nice. I like that you have the beach and even mountains so you can do everything you want in the summer and winter.
