APL members had the unique opportunity last weekend to work on their pétanque skills with former World Champion Damien Hureau!
This hands-on clinic was insightful for players of all levels. Damien shared the insights and expertise that made him a top international competitor.
Damien provided expert instruction on technique, strategy, and precision, while Eric Nicolas did a nice job translating all of that into English. Damien set up 5 stations that each simulated a different skill set to work on. He then demonstrated the proper techniques for the drills and followed up with an explanation as to why those particular skills were important. We then split up into teams and Damien observed our games, answered questions and offered advice and insight into the strategy needed to win at a high level. Whether you were looking to improve your pointing, shooting, or overall game strategy, this clinic gave you the tools to elevate your game and deepen your love for the sport.
Special thanks to Eric and Michel for setting up the tent and helping set up and take down the different skill stations.
