The center of excellence and education through sport

On February 9th, 15 student-athletes from the Centre d'Excellence et d'Éducation par le Sport (CEES) in Saint-Martin had the chance to meet Jacob Brown, a former NFL (National Football League) player turned motivational speaker, who shared with them key tools for personal development to help them thrive in their disciplines.

The 1st edition of the "Women's Day Challenge" on the territory will take place at the Sports Hall. On the programme: women's sport, particularly Futsal, along with a wellness village dedicated to women, in partnership with CEES, CTOS SBSM and the CCISM.

CEES is making the full replay of the conference available to extend the discussion and allow everyone to access the presentations and exchanges that marked this key event. This initiative reflects CEES's commitment to promoting knowledge sharing, experience transmission and broad access to content.

In addition to the full replay, a dedicated edit highlights Jacob Brown's contribution. Through this concise format, he shares an inspiring message that resonates with the CEES mission: guiding every young person toward excellence, confidence and success.

From February 9 to 11, 2026, CEES brought together 39 student-athletes from the territory at the Soualiga Middle School for three mornings dedicated to strengthening the triple project: academic, athletic and civic. Through six thematic workshops, this gathering reaffirmed the CEES ambition: to structure pathways, support high standards and make sport a lever for education, engagement and personal development.
