Early Career
Tregaro was a prospective high jumper, who made the final of the high jump at the World Junior Championships. His coach was Viljo Nousiainen. Nousiainen died in 1999. This left Tregaro and the young triple jumper Christian Olsson without a coach. This led to Yannick's decision to begin coaching, his first athlete being the young Olsson. This would go on to become a highly successful partnership.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or career:
“We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.”
—Henry Reed (1914–1986)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
