MOVE TO MARTIGUES
After the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo she parted ways with her long-time coach Fabrice Pellerin and joined the group of coach Philippe Lucas in Martigues, France. Pellerin did not go to Tokyo for health reasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Bonnet was instead guided by Lucas. "During the post-Olympic break I took time to think what would come next with me and my career. The goal of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and the feeling of still being able to achieve success guided me to make the choice and to continue until 2024. I am excited to join Philippe. With him I will find a different way of training, with the goal of reaching the next step in my career. I want to give it all to succeed in the last challenge of my swimming life, the Olympic Games in Paris." (lequipe.fr, 08 Sep 2021)
PSYCHOLOGIST
After she was disappointed with her performance at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, she began working with French sports psychologist Myriam Selmi. "I was in a hole. I wanted to quit swimming after the Games. I lost the joy of competition." She was also struggling to deal with the death of former teammate Camille Muffat, who died in a helicopter accident in 2015. "I was incapable of talking about her without crying. I wouldn't say I was depressed, because some people live through far harder things, but I experienced some depressing phases. Thanks to Myriam I could get rid of certain things." She went on to win four medals [three gold, one bronze] at the 2018 European Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. "In Glasgow I talked to Myriam three times. It is often forgotten how important mental and psychological aspects are for athletes. All athletes should work with a sports psychologist. I would never have been European champion without Myriam." (lepoint.fr, 02 Oct 2018)
OTHER ACTIVITIES
She is a non-commissioned officer in the French gendarmerie and has been part of the gendarmerie's athlete division since 2014. In 2017 she was named an ambassador for sport in the Alpes-Maritimes department of France.
