Pascale Reschko Jacquot has been President of the French Motoball Commission since 2012 and in the latest FIM Europe Management Council which was held in Fiumicino (Italy) she was appointed as President of the FIM Europe Motoball Commission. It is the first time in FIM Europe history that a lady is elected president of a European Commission.
When Mrs Reschko Jacquot’s son, Jérôme, began training Motoball in 2002, she started living the life of the club first as secretary and then as President of it. In 2008 she was elected member of the National Commission of Motoball and in 2012 she became member of the Managing Committee and Chairman of the FFM Motoball Commission.
Mrs Reschko Jacquot introduced electric motorycles in French Motoball.
“Today I think I have some experience in the European Motoball and I wish to propose innovative projects to sustain our sport”, states Pascale Reschko Jacquot. “In particular, I’m thinking about the development of the electric engine and the possibility of playing with thermal and electric powered motorcycles in the same match. We need to consider new conceptions of this discipline.
“Training of international referees is crucial, too, as HF equipment during matches.
“And finally what matters most to me, creating international youth teams is important.
“The future of Motoball at European level is also to develop communication among the various Countries – which is not always obvious, due to language problems, Federations’s means, and so on – to succeed in arousing media interest through innovation (such as electric motorcycles), and to promote by all means the access of young people to the sport, because they represent the future. And, above all, to have fun…
“Once again I would like to thank the FIM Europe Management Council for the confidence they have placed in me. I will give my best in performing the mission which was given to me”, concludes Pascale Reschko Jacquot.
