In a neighborhood club in the Nantes region, the young Marion Tretout starts football. She's 11 years old. A late orientation for the native of the city of Nantes. A sporting choice that his parents finally accepted. Football, a family sport where his father played at high level and his brother was at the training center of FC Nantes.

A little later, she joined the club of Saint-Herblain. From the neighborhood club she came from, she joined a club in the suburbs of Nantes. A club where she will go over a step. And many in terms of levels.

Indeed the young defender integrates early National Division 2. The U19 teams were not created at the time, the leap from regional to national was allowed. At 14, she started in D2 with Saint-Herblain. And it is the club of Loire Atlantique which allowed the young Tretout to accede to the Team of young France.

Marion stays in Saint-Herblain until 2011, playing 68 games in D2. With a parenthesis in La Roche sur Yon where she meets Team B, positioned in D3.

Marion is not 20 years old when she joins the Ile-de-France and the big club of Juvisy Essonne. Thus she joins one of the best French clubs and trains with big players like Gaëtane Thiney or Sandrine Soubeyrand who allow her to progress.

However the high level requires a lot of sacrifices and Marion always always wanted to privilege his studies. Juvisy was a daily training and Marion made a choice quickly.

Marion leaves the club to return to D2. A division she knows well. More compatible to integrate his third year of study. She joins Saint Maur, a club with a lot of ambitions that will rise in D1 the following season in 2015.

After a serious ankle injury, Marion wants to enjoy playing football again. She is a 6-month freelancer in the Ferté Gaucher, a DH club located near her home. Compiegne in D2 contacted her the following summer and solicited her with an ambitious project. A good compromise that allows him to succeed his year of master in finance after being able to adapt his training with Compiegne. A passage remembered by former coach Christophe Horta: "I have a good memory. A player with a good spirit and a good player. She has a good individual technique and a good gameplay.

After the Oise, Marion will take the route of the East and Lorraine this season. She signs for AS Nancy Lorraine. A professional club with a female D2 team led by former professional player and iconic club player Frédéric Biancalani. A choice that is explained for Marion for whom the club has beautiful structures and an interesting project.

Marion concludes: "Today, I live my passion in Nancy and although I realize that it will only last a time, I enjoy the maximum. I had a lot of injuries, I had hard times, but I had incredible experiences. Next year, I want to put football aside, find a club evolving in DH by getting closer to my family in order to realize my project of business creation.
