From Paris with Love
Shelley Farmer: Hey Charlotte, so nice to be getting this exclusive interview with the best female player in Europe. You have been my rival of mine on the field and I admire both your skill and tenacity. So what are your personal achievements so far?
Charlotte Morel: Hi Shelley, Merci, so for the readers I ' ve been the captain of the French National women ' s team for the past nine years. We have won several titles. I’ m proud to play for a great French pro team, Carnage, for the past three years. Since about two years ago, I ' ve played for Belladonna. Always at the same event. It is a challenge for me to play two competitions simultaneously and stay focused all the time.
SF: You must be proud with what you have achieved so quickly in your paintball career?
CM: The thing that I am the most proud of, is to be the first and only woman in the Pro
SF: When did you start playing paintball?
CM: My first paintball experience was with my two little brothers, in the South of France during a summer holiday. For information, it was on one of Pascal Hausser( Tonton ' s coach) field.
SF: Describe the feeling you had when you first tried the sport?
CM: I already like the feeling of adrenaline, even if my first game wasn’ t speedball but woodball. At this time, sport wasn’ t " my best friend," but I said to myself, " I want to do this sport." So when I returned back home, I looked for a place where we can play paintball. I was lucky, because there was a field five minutes away.
SF: I love that. You’ re lucky Paris has so many paintball options. I feel that France is a powerhouse in European paintball because of this. So tell us about your style of play? Or, Parlez-nous de votre style de jeu? Do you like my French?
