22 years old, 1 meter 91 for 129 kilos. Wilfried Pene is what is called a mirror cabinet. However, this physique is not too much for the young man who plays FootUS every weekend on American lawns in front of nearly 70,000 people!
To get there, Wilfried was able to count on his mother. From her career in France until her departure for the United States, she has been an unwavering support. “My mother let me do whatever I wanted. Thanks to her » he tells Kool mag.
Yet, like all mothers, she worried. “When she was watching the NCA (FootUS league in which he plays, editor’s note) she said to me: ”these are monsters! It hits !” ” Only, over time she realizes that her son competes with his monsters and even does better… In France, for example, he is quickly double outclassed. ” I played with the seniors, I was young. I broke the faces of the darons. »
The other concern of his mother: the financial aspect. Going to study in the United States is expensive, very expensive and the family does not necessarily have the means. Wilfried takes the time to explain to her and once once more, she trusts him. As a result, he won a scholarship to Virginia Tech University and his studies were fully funded. “We took the risk and today it breaks through” he summarizes soberly. And it might even pierce a lot more if he were drafted in the major league, the NFL. Here is “Like the Mbappés etc. We’re talking in the millions.”
Waiting“even if from time to time it gives her little chills she is happy because I do what I like he explains before concluding: it makes her happy so it makes me happy. »
