Who is Maurane Corbin?A soccer player since the age of 3. I began to play basketball in secondary 3. After
simultaneously practicing both sports for one year, I decided that I would only invest my
time in the game of basketball. The gap between each practices and trainings are reserved
for studying because education is something that I value very much. Personality wise, I am
very social and I love to spend time with family and friends.

Describe your role on the team this year (your position, your role during games/practices, off the court).
My defensive presence has a huge impact on the
court. Protecting the rim is my main task on defense
because of my size. Rebounding is also one of my
strengths on both offense and defense. Also, my
conditioning helps me run up and down the court
with ease, which helps me and my team to run in
transition. . I play the 5 spot on the team, meaning
that I’m mostly inside the key. I’m also a positive
person that is always looking to encourage and
to push my teammates to give everything they
got. Because I’m one of the team captains, I have
a role outside the court: I have to ensure good
communication, organization and team cohesion.
INTERVIEW WITH MAURANE CORBIN

What did you have to sacrif ice during the year?
It is very important to do certain sacrifices when you’re
playing in a sport at a high level. There are days where
fatigue kicks in and it affects your motivation to workout.
Moments like that remind me of my objectives and it gives
me the extra energy needed to motivate myself and get
inside the gym. One of the biggest challenges is having a
busy school schedule. Lots of exams and projects come at
the same time and it removes the personal time I have for
myself. Although it can be stressful at times, the key in all of
this is to be passionate. I am so passionate about this sport
that I am willing to make the sacrifices to be the best I can
be and excel.

I wasn’t satisfied with the way I was performing
at the beginning of the season. I was just
coming out of a five-week break because
of a tendinitis in my knee, which made me
lose some physical abilities. I was also out
of my comfort zone because I had to play
in a new position: around the perimeter. My
offensive efficiency was affected and I was
much less effective. However, this made me
realize that I had to work on my dribbling
skills and improve my shooting in order to
become a more versatile player. After the
holidays, I started to play back inside the
paint again and my confidence was back,
making me contribute a lot more on offense.
But, I still have to work on my free-throw
shooting and on my physique to be more of
an offensive threat. Playing inside demands
lots of physical effort, and at the university
level, the position becomes harder to play.
I have to learn how to box-out even better
because I know that my height won’t be
enough for me to effectively grab rebounds
at the higher level. Thus, I decided to follow
a program that our physical trainer has
assigned to me, which involves me being in
the weight room four times a week, which
will guarantee improvement.
How did you progress this year? What do you think you have to improve?
10
My goals collectively haven’t been reached
this year because we aimed to win the
provincial and national title. We lost in the
provincial finals and finished in 5th at the
national level. On the other hand, individually,
I began to play more outside the 3-point line at
the beginning of the year, which was a major
challenge for me. However, I embraced the
challenge because it allowed me to improve
my other skills such as my dribbling and my
shooting. At the second half of the season,
I went back to playing inside and it made me
get in my comfort zone. During the same time
period, I tried to give myself some personal
challenges like finishing games with double-
doubles. Completing a challenge like this
depends of each game, but I’m proud to
say that I have completed it for at least half
of those games. So, I finished the end of the
season on a positive note.
Have you achieved your goals on the court this year?
11
What are your academic achievements?
The fact I have excellent marks (a 94%
average in my last semester) is a great
achievement for me. My busy schedule
requires me to be organized and disciplined.
My academic achievements demonstrate
how well I can overcome challenges, without
forgetting that I am involved in other activities
such as being a member of the student-
athlete tutoring committee. Furthermore, my
high marks allowed me to obtain certain
scholarships.
I think that my biggest qualities as a player
are my work ethic and my desire to learn.
I am a player always ready to give the best
I have, and to push myself for my team.
Also, I am a person that brings positive
energy in a team and I am always there to
encourage my teammates.
Why should a coach at the university level choose Maurane Corbin?

How did the recruitment of Maurane Corbin start? Why Maurane?
She was giving everything she had during
workouts and she was projecting this
maturity at an early age. She’s a player
with incredible potential.

Maurane’s height is an important asset
for the team. How do you take advantage of her
height and her physique against other teams?
Ever since her first year, Maurane was
important to us. She quickly became
a defensive game changer.
“hard work beats talent
Maurane is a player
15
Does she have what it takes to excel at the university level is she perseverant? Why?
Maurane is an example to follow because
of the enormous amount of effort she puts
on and off the court. Her week is separated
in 50 hours: 25 hours concentrated in
academics and the other 25 to basketball.
Her work ethic will set the tone on her great
university career.
with incredible talent.
