MBB - Maxime Raynaud story - Spiny_Norman - 02-20-2025

A nice piece on Maxime. https://gostanford.com/news/2025/02/20/a-matter-of-trust

No author credit listed. But it certainly reads like the work of David Kiefer.

Thanks the link, yes great article.
One brief paragraph in there especially caught my eye:

"IN FRANCE, AROUND age 16, every sportsman must make a decision – to turn professional and give up on school or to focus on academics and give up on sports. The demands of each are too great."

I was aware of this general difference between the USA and Europe.
But it struck me that our alma mater is kind of the exact opposite paradigm of that thought.
In that its history has been to carry on both academics and sport, at the highest level, no only past age 16 but all the way through college.

Yes, it now says Kiefer at the top (maybe it didn’t before). Loved the piece (as I do all of his). Thanks for sharing!
