Georget finds success through ‘sheer force of will’
Jessie Georget’s path to gymnastics greatness has been long in several forms of the word.
To get to the Prince Albert Aerials Gymnastics Club from his home in the Domremy area, it’s a 45-minute drive. This drastically cuts into his training time, in a sport where athletes typically can spend in excess of 25 hours per week perfecting their craft.
But the commute hasn’t stopped Georget’s growth in a time-consuming sport.
Georget was named Athlete of the Year with Gymnastics Saskatchewan for the past two years in the men’s artistic program. He also finished third overall at the Western Canadian Championships in Brandon, Man. last season.
