I’m Chris, I am 14. I’m part of the Sport Études program in year 10, and have been in St. George's for 2 years. I come from Australia, and oddly enough I play ice hockey. I play as a defence for HC Valais-Chablais, where I train 3-4 times a week with extra games. Sport Etude surrounds me with other motivated athletes, as well as offering as many opportunities to enhance my skills as far as possible. Flexible timetables and Academic support allows me to remain focused on my school work, while continuing to play the sports I love. I hope to keep playing ice hockey in future years, with the help of Sport Etudes.

My name is Adam, I’m 17 years old and I’m from Poland, I’m in year 12 and it’s my first year in St. George’s International School. I play football, for Stade-Lausanne, I train 3 times a week+ a match on the weekend. When I don’t have team training I train individually. I enjoy fitness sessions and the fact that there is more flexibility in my school timetable.

My name is Maria, I joined Sport Études because I wanted to have more time for training which are only possible in school time. I really like sport Etude because of the chance I get to train more. I really want to get a better ranking and win more matches and tournaments! I just love sport and I do not imagine my life without it so I always want to do more and more!

Hi, my name is Jonathan and I come from Denmark. I am 12 years old and I am in year 8. This is my 9th year at St. George’s. I do skiing and golf. I am part of golf club Montreux and golf club Verbier. In the summer, I train 10 hours of golf a week. I am also part of ski team Phillipe Roux, in Verbier, and in the Winter, I do ski training 9 hours a week. As well as that, I compete in a local ski race every Saturday. I have also competed in the Danish skiing championships in 2019 where I got two 6th places and a 4th place. Something that I really like about Sport Études is the fitness sessions and the good advice from the golf and ski pros. I also like the special Sport Études PE kit.

My name is Mikhail. I come from Russia, I am 17 years old, I am in year 12 and I have been in St. George’s since year 7. I play tennis as my Sport Études sport. I am a member of Club Veveysan de Tennis. I train 7 times a week and perform in tournaments on a monthly basis. I joined the sport etudes as I like the flexibility I have with my training and the fact that the teachers know that I play tennis at a competitive level and they help me with catching up on what I missed. Also, I learn some exercises for particular groups of muscles during the fitness sessions. In future, I hope that the skills I learn now will help me keep a balanced and sporty lifestyle and that I will know that I have a bigger range of skills in sports.
