Tammie Gray
Competitive Head Coach
-
Tammie is a graduate of the Elite Coaching program at Seneca College and is a certified Level 3 coach. She has been coaching gymnastics for over 32 years in the GTA area. Tammie has experience working with both provincial and national level athletes. She enjoys coaching all four apparatus and has produced several gold medal winning floor routines over the course of her career. One of her proudest and most memorable gymnastics moments to date was the day one of her optional level athletes received a perfect 10 for her beam routine at a qualifier! Her athlete had tears in her eyes and exclaimed “I did it? I didn’t think I could” to which Tammie replied “I always believed you could”.
Finding that “belief in yourself” is what Tammie would like all of her athletes to take away from sport. Gymnastics (and life) can sometimes be a struggle, but working with her athletes to build up their resilience and find the motivation and inner belief to get up and try again is a quality that she hopes to nurture in all of them, knowing that this skill will be one that they can rely on throughout their lives beyond gymnastics.
Outside the gym, Tammie is the mother of 2 amazing little girls that keep her very busy! Biking and hiking are favourite pastimes as are spending time at the cottage swimming, fishing or roasting marshmallows.
