Keira Lamming calls the gym her second home, but still manages to strike balance with other parts of her life
The Grade 12 St. Mary’s College student has been a competitive gymnast for most of her life. Most nights you will find her hair in a bun, chalk on her hands at the Sault YMCA.
She has put academics ahead of athletics and has balanced many activities locally: Competitive dance for 10 years, Algoma Conservatory of Music piano study for 10 years, golfing, as well as most activities with her family. High school activities also include cross-country running, badminton, track and field and dance. She's currently a part-time lifeguard. Lamming has also achieved her British Association Teachers of Dance in jazz and is working toward her ballet certification.
“Luckily I have had only minor injuries over the years. My biggest setback was this year at one practice I had some pretty overwhelming feeling of self-doubt. I just could not do a full bar routine and felt like I was not good enough. My coach reminded me that one bad practice is just like a bad test at school, you can always do better.”
