Personal life

Broussard was born on June 15, 2006, in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, to a French father and American mother. Broussard's father works at Amazon and his job had required the family to move to Luxembourg at the time. The family returned to Seattle, Washington, when Broussard was six years old. He has two brothers, Sebastian and Julien, and two Australian Shepherds named Chunk and Bear.

Prior to figure skating, Broussard was a competitive ski racer. His figure skating idols are Yuzuru Hanyu and Shoma Uno.

Career

Early career

Broussard began figure skating in 2016 at the age of nine and has been coached by Darin Hosier and Corrie Martin since then.

He won the 2019 U.S. Championships as a juvenile. Two years later, he would place sixth at the 2021 U.S. Junior Championships.

2021–2022 season

Broussard made his international debut on the 2021–22 Junior Grand Prix. He began his season with winning a silver medal at the 2021 JGP France I behind fellow American, Ilia Malinin. He then went on to finish eighth at the 2021 JGP Russia.

Due to a back injury that would plague him, Broussard withdrew from the 2022 U.S. Junior Championships. Despite this, Broussard was still selected to compete at the 2022 World Junior Championships but withdrew due to the nagging back injury.

2022–2023 season: Junior Grand Prix Final silver

Competing on the 2022–23 Junior Grand Prix, Broussard began his season by winning gold at both of his assigned Junior Grand Prix events in Poland and Italy, respectively. These results allowed Broussard to qualify for the 2022–23 Junior Grand Prix Final in Turin, Italy.

At the Final, Broussard won the short program, scoring a new personal best. Despite skating a solid free skate, Broussard placed third in that segment of the competition after three of his jumping passes were downgraded.

Competing at the 2023 U.S. Junior Championships, Broussard placed first in both the short and free program segments of the event, winning the gold medal by almost twenty-six points and setting a U.S. National Junior Men's record for combined total score.

Broussard was selected to compete at the 2023 World Junior Championships in Calgary, Alberta. Broussard placed fourth in the short program after stepping out of a planned triple axel, but ninth in the free skate after skating an error-ridden program. Broussard would drop to seventh-place overall.

2023–2024 season

Broussard began the season with a fourth-place finish at the 2023 Nebelhorn Trophy. He was invited to make his Grand Prix debut at the 2023 Cup of China. After experiencing boot issues with his left skate in practice and skating with a back-up boot in competition, he finished twelfth of twelve skaters.

In January, Broussard withdrew from the 2024 U.S. Championships prior to the short program for medical reasons.

2024–2025 season

Broussard started the season by winning gold at the 2024 CS Cranberry Cup International, earning personal best scores in all three segments. He went on to compete on the 2024–25 Grand Prix series, finishing tenth at the 2024 Skate America. In November, Broussard announced that he had fractured his pelvis and would be forced to miss the remainder of the season.
