Moving to a new country proved at times overwhelming as Lemire grappled with a new club, new language and being far away from family and friends for the first time. Luckily, Lemire joined the team with her best friend who is also from Montreal, and says it only took a few months to settle in.
She described FFC Turbine Potsdam as “the best place to start [her] career” and is looking forward to whatever comes next.
Lemire’s advice for current students and recent graduates: “For me, it was really important to prioritize school above sports. Take your time to make the best decision. I didn’t want to rush into something I was not ready for. I’m at peace with my choices. Whatever you decide, do it 100 percent with no regrets. You have to have the guts to leave home and get out of your comfort zone.”
