Jemma has been a world class swimmer for over 11 years competing at world and Olympic level, reaching the finals in the 2008 & 2012 Olympics in Butterfly events.
Jemma has run swim clinics, given motivational talks and has visited many schools since 2008, to inspire young people.
Jemma was a Young Sporting Ambassador for Hartlepool in 2006 and she is now part of the Swimpath team that aims to help young swimmers develop and enjoy their sport.
She has developed a natural talent for perfectionism within her sport as well as being a conscientious, independent and goal orientated person.
Jemma has become a role model for many younger swimmers and enjoys being an ambassador for the sport.
Balancing her academic work and studies has brought her a number of skills and experiences not typical of young people her age. Jemma uses her time wisely and is used to getting full value from her day.
Competing at many world events and at numerous training camps around the globe has also exposed her to a vast range of cultures, economies and climates.
The Olympics represents the pinnacle of sport, and our athletes give a behind-the-scenes insight into what it is really like to compete or aim to compete on the world’s biggest stage. They share stories of preparation, pressure, teamwork, and pride, inspiring pupils with lessons about ambition, dedication, and chasing dreams, whatever they may be.
Success in sport and life starts with the right mindset. In this talk, our athletes explore how having a positive, focused, and growth-orientated mindset has helped them face challenges, learn from setbacks, and stay motivated. Pupils will leave inspired to believe in themselves and approach obstacles with confidence.
Jemma was a fantastic addition to the event in helping inspire our Young Leaders. They loved hearing a story from a top class athlete, as to how volunteering has had such an impact on their journey.
Inspirational Athletes connects schools & communities with elite athletes who inspire, motivate and engage young people through talks, workshops and sports sessions.
