#19 - Khamica Bingham | Make bold moves. Go all in. The Inner Olympian
-
- Self-Improvement
In this episode, I chat with the 2016 Canadian Olympian, professional sprinter, and model Khamica Bingham. Khamica Bingham is a Professional Canadian sprinter who specializes in the 100m and 4x100m relay. She is also a 2016 Olympic Finalist, 2-time World Championship finalist, 2-time National record holder, 2-time Pan Am medalist, and is one of the fastest women in Canadian history. This episode is jam-packed from start to finish. Khamica and I discuss her journey to becoming an Olympian, how she got started (she's originally a gymnast), separating the athlete from the person, dealing with the feeling of failure, how she handles anxiety and pressure, being ok with not being in control, her experience with representation as a dark-skin female in the model industry, and lots more.
About Khamica
Khamica Bingham is a professional Canadian sprinter who specializes in the 100m and 4x100m relay. She is also a 2016 Olympic finalist, 2-time World Championship finalist, 2-time National record holder, 2-time Pan Am medalist, and known as one of the fastest women in Canada. Before Bingham discovered sprinting, she was a national gymnast with an Olympic pursuit in a different sport. Unfortunately, she had to quit gymnastics due to financial burdens but deep down her true joy and passion came from running, so she sprinted forward and never looked back. Knowing how sport changed her life, Bingham loves to give back through motivational speaking and athlete mentorship, to uplift others to reach their true potential by sharing her story.
